France – ENS de Cachan Postdoctoral Position in Functional Organic Materials
The Photophysics and Photochemistry of Supra- and Macromolecules laboratory (PPSM) at Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan), located in the Paris area, is offering a one-year postdoctoral position to work on a new concept combining the photostructuration of functionalized organic or silica nanoparticles and non-destructive nonlinear read-out for 3D-optical data storage. The studies will focus on the elaboration and optical studies of novel hybrid materials in tight collaborations with physics laboratories at ENS Cachan and CEA Saclay.
The PPSM lab is provided with numerous facilities for organic synthesis, material elaboration, characterizations (spin-coating, evaporation, metal sputtering, profilometer, AFM, MEB), spectroscopic equipments (steady-state UV-Vis, IR and time-resolved nano- and pico-second studies), as well as optical studies (holography, second-order NLO setups, confocal microscopes).
Candidates must possess a PhD in chemistry and a solid background in organic synthesis as well as in spectroscopy or in material sciences. They must supply a covering letter describing their expertise and interest for the position, a detailed curriculum vitae and recommendation letters or list of references to the address mentionned.
Contract: 1-year contract with ~2200 euros gross income per month.
