Researcher (M/F) in heritage chemistry and archaeology

L’objectif de cet article est de comprendre et de reproduire des compétences et des expertises séculaires et de voir comment elles ont évolué au cours de l’histoire. Grâce au développement de techniques analytiques avancées, qui peuvent être à grande échelle ou parfois assez petites pour être apportées sur des sites archéologiques ou utilisées sur des œuvres d’art délicates, cette recherche en chimie révèle les secrets bien gardés de nombreuses œuvres d’art ainsi que les techniques de grands peintres. Il y en a plus qu’assez dans cet article pour satisfaire tous ceux qui ont une passion pour la chimie et l’histoire de l’art.

Researcher (M/F) in environmental chemistry

Nature is often a source of inspiration for chemists, especially when trying to remedy certain pollution problems. For example, by studying the chemical processes that enable a plant to grow in a hostile environment and that also help decontaminate that environment by storing heavy metals in its leaves, chemists have developed phytoremediation, an innovation that has already found large-scale applications.

Researcher (M/F) in health-related chemistry

Finding ways to provide personalized diagnosis and treatment is a challenge that many chemists have undertaken through their efforts to develop highly targeted drug molecules or intelligent contrast agents for medical imaging. At the crossroads between chemistry and medicine, this research can also target how damaged organs and limbs can be repaired through the synthesis and development of biocompatible reconstruction materials.

Researcher (M/F) in theoretical and computational chemistry

In the age of supercomputers, some chemists have traded in their lab coats for computers. Modeling complex evolving systems, such as a folding protein or a reaction underway, can help save a considerable amount of time and material, leading to a faster understanding of the chemical processes involved. This research also makes it possible to quickly test a large number of drug candidates and then synthesize the most promising ones.

Researcher (M/F) in chemistry for renewable energy

Batteries, solar panels, and fuel cells are all promising technologies for the transition to renewable energy sources. This transition will only be possible by developing high-performance, low-cost, and recyclable electrode and semiconductor materials. It is a challenge that occupies many chemists working in materials science and structuring and properties of matter.
