Explore Exciting New Career Opportunities at L’Institut de Science des Matériaux de Mulhouse

The IRJBD building on the IS2M Mulhouse campus hosts specialized research teams including COB, GRE, LPIM, and IS2M groups, focusing on polymer materials, bio-based composites, and advanced interfaces. Integrated within the broader materials science ecosystem, it supports collaborative projects on sustainable polymers and hybrid materials synthesis.

• Polymer research and processing.
• Bio-based and composite materials.
• Support for main IS2M thematic axes like carbon hybrids and biointerfaces.
• Shared technical platforms for mechanical, thermal, and rheological analyses.

While primarily research-oriented, it contributes to student training in materials engineering and PhD projects, aligned with the campus's educational offerings in chemistry and physics.

The IS2M Mulhouse Campus, located on the Illberg campus of the University of Haute-Alsace, specializes in multidisciplinary materials science research and education. As a joint CNRS-UHA unit (UMR 7361), it focuses on developing advanced functional materials through chemistry, physics, and biology, with emphasis on sustainable processes, nanostructures, and biointerfaces. The campus hosts over 200 researchers, students, and staff, supported by 11 ISO 9001-certified technical platforms for cutting-edge characterization.

• Interfaces and Multidimensional Materials (I2M): Surfaces, stimuli-responsive materials, 3D/4D printing, colloidal chemistry.
• Controlled Porosity Materials (MPC): Porous structures, adsorption, catalysis, energy storage.
• Carbon and Hybrid Materials: Graphene, carbon nanotubes, composites for electronics and energy.
• Transfers, Reactivity, Clean Processes: Process engineering, reactivity modeling, eco-friendly materials.
• Low Dimensionality Systems Physics: Nanophysics, semiconductors, quantum materials.
• Molecular Photochemistry and Photopolymerization: Light-activated synthesis, polymers.
• Growth of Nanostructures and 2D Crystals: Epitaxy, 2D materials like MoS2.
• Biomaterials/Biointerfaces: Biomimetic systems, biomedical applications.
• Multi-Scale Numerical Simulations: Modeling from atomic to macro scales.

Teaching includes the bi-disciplinary Physical Science License in Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics, preparing for Master's in Nanosciences and Materials, engineering schools like ENSCMu (chemical engineering), PhD programs, and teacher training (CAPES). Over 100 students are trained annually across levels, fostering expertise in R&D, industry, and academia.
