About the employer
The CEISAM Institute ("Interdisciplinary Chemistry: Synthesis, Analysis, Modelling") encompasses all the research activities carried out in the area of molecular chemistry in Nantes and its surroundings. The CEISAM Institute is located on the Faculty of Science campus of the University of Nantes.
The CEISAM Institute, through its research activities, has positioned itself as one of the leading molecular chemistry institutes, both in France and on an international scale.
CEISAM means "Interdisciplinary Chemistry: Synthesis, Analysis, Modelling", an acronym which perfectly reflects the Institute’s areas of research. The institute is organised into 5 research teams, which together cover a broad field of activities, and that are involved in joint research projects and scientific events.
These research projects are implemented according to matrix management principles and the following three axes: synthesis of organic molecules and hybrid materials, methodological developments in analytical chemistry, and molecular modelling, all of which are deployed in three strategic interfaces, namely "Chemistry and Health", "Chemistry and molecular photonics" and "Chemistry and environment". Such organisation allows a strong sense of cohesion between the teams.
