We are looking for an excellent candidate for the early call of the graduate school of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.

Two research topics are proposed for a PhD starting in October 2026, under Yvan's supervision:

• New transformations in polar organometallic chemistry: non-typical Reformatsky reaction and cyclisation of alkynoamides.

• Controlled synthesis of complex organic structures by radical cascades associated with new titanium-mediated reactions.

  This particular project is to be conducted in close collaboration with Prof. Sam Zard, who will be the student's co-supervisor.

Deadline for applications: 17 February 2026.

Please note that this early call is intended for excellent students coming from highly repute
