Postdoctoral Researcher in organic and coordination Chemistry

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description Research Context . Brachytherapy is a cancer treatment technique that involves placing a radioactive source close to or inside a tumor. It enables high doses of radiation to be delivered directly to cancer cells while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Accurate dose verification is essential to optimize treatment efficacy and minimize side effects. The ESPOIR project aims to develop more efficient and precise dosimeters for improved monitoring of brachytherapy treatments. The project focuses on synthesizing organic plastic scintillators and microstructured coordination polymers, followed by their covalent grafting onto optical fibers. Main Responsibilities . The successful candidate will contribute to the development and characterization of innovative scintillating materials. Their main responsibilities will include: . Organic synthesis and coordination chemistry: Design and synthesize organic molecules and ligands, and use them to prepare coordination compounds. Physicochemical characterization: Characterize synthesized compounds using standard analytical techniques, including multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. Photophysical studies: Investigate the optical and photophysical properties of the synthesized materials to assess their potential for scintillation-based dosimetry. Optical fiber funct
