PhD and postdoc positions available in MAS-DNP at CEA / Univ. Grenoble Alpes (France)
Gaël DE PAËPE
We are looking for a PhD candidate for a start in October-December 2023, and 2 postdocs for a start in 2024.
Projects range from the development of improved polarizing agents for DNP, to sustainable ultra-low temperature helium spinning DNP-NMR (20-100 K), with applications on materials (ZnO / perovskite NC, biosourced nanomaterials, supercapacitor, battery) and biomolecules (protein-ligand, SelDNP, in cell NMR)
More information about the lab and a list of recent publications can be found here: www.nmr-dnp-grenoble.net.
Interested candidates can contact me at gael.depaepe@cea.fr
Grenoble is one of the major cities in Europe for research with a large international scientific community. In addition, Grenoble has a large international student population, is a very pleasant city to live in, and is known as the “Capital of the Alps” with easy access to great skiing and hiking. It’s also only 2 hours’ drive to the Mediterranean Sea, Italy, or Switzerland. Grenoble, Lyon, and Geneva airports are nearby and permit straightforward international travel.
