Contexte de travail

The position is to be filled at the ICB laboratory, in the Fiber Lasers research group of Prof. Philippe Grelu of the SAFIR team in the Photonics department. The ICB is a joint unit (UMR 6303) operated by the CNRS and the Université Bourgogne Europe. The ICB Photonics department has approximately 60 people with 34 permanent staff, more than half of whom participate in the SAFIR team which encompasses multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of nonlinear optics, laser sources and frequency combs, ultrafast nonlinear dynamics, infrared glasses and nanophotonics. The main experimental equipment is an integral part of the Equipex+ “SMARTLIGHT” platform. This research engineer position is offered and funded in the context of the ANR OSMOSIS project: “Mixed khi2-khi3 cavity solitons from multimode optical fibers” started in October 2024 in collaboration with the XLIM laboratory of the University of Limoges.

Le poste se situe dans un secteur relevant de la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique (PPST), et nécessite donc, conformément à la réglementation, que votre arrivée soit autorisée par l'autorité compétente du MESR.
