A 1.5 year PostDoc Position  is available at ENS de Lyon, France in the group of Ph. Sautet. This position is sustained by an ANR project SHAPES which aims at the development of eco-efficient processes for the synthesis of highly valuable diamine monomers. It gathers several partners in catalysis, spectroscopy and modelling (Solvay, E2P2L,UCCS-Lille, ENS-Lyon and LCS-Caen). In conjunction with the experimental studies, the catalyst structure and the reaction mechanism will be investigated using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) with a strong emphasize on the metal/support interaction.

Applicant

The successful applicant is expected to have strong background in physical chemistry and strong interest in the use of computational modeling techniques for chemical reactivity and catalysis. A PhD in theoretical chemistry degree is required. The PostDoc will be supported for 1.5 year with a net salary of around 2000€/month, possibly higher depending on the working experience.
