Postdoctoral research fellows in synthetic organic chemistry (ANR PRCI CASINOS)

INSA ROUEN Normandie is a public engineering school involved in the fundamental research in the Normandie region. The research laboratories from INSA ROUEN Normandie are working on cutting edge research program in Chemistry, process, mathematics, computer science…

The institute CARMeN Rouen (ex-COBRA, UMR 6064, www.lab-cobra.fr/equipes/heterocycles/) is gathering researchers from CNRS, Rouen University of Normandy and INSA ROUEN Normandy and is originated from the merging with the laboratory LCMT at the university of Caen Normandy and ENSICAEN. The institute CARMeN Rouen is located within the IRCOF building (Institut de recherche en chimie organique fine) at Mont Saint Aignan. 175 peoples are working within the COBRA laboratory (60 PIs, 20 technical and administrative supports, 70 PhD students, 25 PDRA). COBRA laboratory is a leading partner of the LABEX SynOrg, the institute Carnot I2C and the EUR XL Chem, a proof of the excellence of the laboratory.

We are looking for an outstanding and highly motivated candidates with excellent knowledge in organic chemistry, synthetic methodology development and products characterization. Knowledge in catalysis and asymmetric synthesis will be an asset.

In addition, we are expecting:

• Good communication skills to work within a team
• independence
• good organizational skills
• Ability to write report and doing presentations

The recruited PDRA will be in charge of:

• Setting up the reaction conditions (optimization, mechanism, scope)
• Purification of the obtained compounds using regular purification techniques (flash chromatography, crystallization and so on…)
• Analysis and characterization of the using HPLC, GC, NMR, MS, IR…)
• Take benefit from a dynamic international collaborative environment with regular meetings.
• Writing of the reports and part of publications
• Secure the literature survey
