Ph.D. and post-doctoral positions are available in the field of 
Molecular Modelling at the University of Lille (France) in the 
Therapeutical Molecular Materials (TMM) group.

Our research activity concerns the physical state of molecular
 materials composed of small molecules and/or of biological 
molecules under various stresses: temperature, pressure,
 grinding, dehydration. The main goal is to analyse the 
situations of metastabilities, the glassy states and 
the phase transformations and out-of-equilibrium
 evolutions induced by these stresses. 
The investigated materials are also found in the pharmaceuticals 
and food domains. Our works have direct implication in 
the control of the formulation and the stability of these
 materials with direct consequences on their bioavailability.
