Scholarship Description:
Doctorate Scholarship in Soft Matter/Liquid Crystals – “Dynamics of Chiral Host-Guest Systems”
This thesis is part of the ANR CHIRALGHOST project, aiming to explore new possibilities for separating enantiomeric entities using chiral liquid crystal materials. Investigate the dynamic interactions between the chirality of a fluctuating host environment and the structural chirality of a guest object at molecular and mesoscopic scales. The project involves experiments with chiral and fluorescent molecules, combining fluorescence microscopy and scattered light field observations.
Eligibility: Motivated candidates with a Master’s in condensed matter physics/soft matter. Essential skills include an experimental background in soft matter physics, and additional proficiency in numerical simulation or liquid crystal physics is advantageous. Proficiency in English is required.
Required Documents: Submit a Curriculum Vitae, description of scientific achievements, diplomas and certificates, cover letter, letters of recommendation, and consent to personal data processing.
How to Apply: Send the required documents to the designated email with the subject “H/F Doctorat en matière molle/cristaux liquides – Recruitment.”
Last Date: The application deadline is 22 January 2024. Ensure your candidate profile is correct before applying for this exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in soft matter physics and liquid crystals.
