JOB /OFFER DESCRIPTION (max. 3,500 characters) 
As part of the ANR CoMuCat project, the result of the collaboration between iSm2 and IM2NP of Aix Marseille University, we are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a period of 12 months on the campus of St Jerome in Marseille.

The project aims to develop compartmentalized enantioselective catalytic systems for the preparation of highly enantioenriched molecules using membranes with selective permeability. A first system was developed making it possible to obtain each enantiomer of a molecule physically separated in a compartment starting from a racemic substrate

The key point is to optimize the selectivity of the membrane separating the two compartments. It must be as permeable as possible to the racemic substrate, and at the same time impermeable to the products of chiral catalytic reactions.

Additional information: The Euraxess Center of Aix-Marseille Université informs foreign visiting professors, researchers, postdoc and PhD candidates about the administrative steps to be undertaken prior to arrival at AMU and the various practical formalities to be completed once in France: visas and entry requirements, insurance, help finding accommodation, support in opening a bank account, etc. More information on AMU EURAXESS Portal 

QUALIFICATIONS, REQUIRED RESEARCH FIELDS, REQUIRED EDUCATION LEVEL, PROFESSIONAL SKILLS, OTHER RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS (years of research experience (max. 3000 characters)
We are looking for a motivated individual with a PhD in physics/chemistry, physics or chemistry, and solid experience in surface/interface analysis. As the study straddles the boundary between chemistry and physics, the candidate will need to be open-minded, able to interact with several collaborators and be autonomous.

Initial experience in the use of Chemical Vapor Deposition, Atomic Force Microscopy and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy would be appreciated.

REQUESTED DOCUMENTS OF APPLICATION, ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, SELECTION PROCESS
Detailed CV is requested. It will be examined by the scientist involved in the CoMuCat ANR project. A job interview will be proposed by the selection committee.
