Renewable Energy Scientist: Photochromic Molecules for Solar Energy Conversion
Há 12 horas
About the Position
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at CNRS in France. The successful candidate will work on the development of innovative photochromic molecules for applications in solar energy conversion.
Job Description
The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for characterizing the photochemical and photophysical properties of photochromic molecules using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, under monochromatic or solar irradiation. Additionally, the recruited post-doc will study the behavior of photochromic molecules in different solvents and in the presence of chemical species capable of catalyzing the reaction. The project also involves calculating, using quantum chemistry methods, the geometries, spectra, and energies of the various isomers of the molecules of interest.
Research Focus
The main focus of this research project is to select the best candidate molecules for targeted applications and determine whether the choice of solvent, acidity of the medium, or addition of a chemical species acting as a catalyst for the ring-opening reaction can enable the design of an on-demand heat release process. This will involve validating the proof-of-concept of a new type of renewable and eco-responsible energy system that captures solar energy, stores it, and converts it efficiently into thermal energy.
Key Responsibilities
- Study the photochemical and photophysical properties of photochromic molecules
- Characterize photochromic molecules in different solvents and with added chemical species
- Calculate the geometries, spectra, and energies of molecule isomers using quantum chemistry methods
Requirements and Qualifications
- MSc or PhD in Physical Chemistry or related field
- General skills in molecular physical chemistry, including photochemistry, kinetics, thermodynamics, and theoretical chemistry
- Skills in UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy, both steady-state and time-resolved
Salary and Benefits
The estimated salary for this position is around €50,000 per year, commensurate with experience. The successful candidate will benefit from a competitive salary, opportunities for professional growth, and access to state-of-the-art research facilities.
Location and Working Conditions
This position is located at the CNRS laboratory PPSM in France. The laboratory has the necessary equipment for characterization of photoactive molecules and spectroscopic studies in solution. Research visits to partner laboratories may be arranged during the work period.
