Missions

Design, implementation, and application of a time-resolved spectroscopy experiment in photo-switchable proteins, from infrared to ultraviolet.

Activités

- Design and development of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (1000-5000 cm-1)
- Design and development of a sample holder allowing irradiation of the sample in the visible and UV ranges
- Design and programming of an acquisition system allowing measurement of infrared and UV-visible spectra as a function of time elapsed after excitation of the sample
- Perform measurements on various photo-switchable proteins

Compétences

- Previous experience in Fourier transform spectroscopy and pump-probe spectroscopy
- Ability to design and align complex optical assemblies
- Proficiency in Python, particularly for experiment control and data analysis
- Proficiency in microcontroller programming
- Motivation for multidisciplinary work, including the preparation of biological samples

Contexte de travail

The Laboratory of Optics and Biosciences (LOB) is a multidisciplinary environment where physicists and biologists work closely together to develop original optical methods applied to relevant biological questions.

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.

Contraintes et risques

Due to the use of Class IV lasers, the experimental work will require the application of standard laser safety procedures, including the wearing of protective eyewear.
