Job Description
Missions
The candidate will conduct mechanical testing experiments on a laser installation, using a velocimeter and an ultra-high-speed camera.
Activity
The researcher will be required to:
- Develop a work plan for experiments;
- Fabricate/assemble samples;
- Adapt/install the experimental setup;
- Develop, if necessary, software dedicated to the acquisition and analysis of datasets;
- Participate in and conduct experiments;
- Analyze datasets;
- Place the obtained results in the context of the scientific and technical challenges associated with the elasto-plastic domain;
- Manage data and relationships with project partners.
He/she will act as a principal researcher, assuming full responsibility for each task, in coordination with permanent research staff and project partners.
Your Profil
Skills
The candidate must hold a PhD in the field of materials subjected to extreme pressure conditions, with a specialization focused on experimental work.
- Knowledge of laser-plasma-generated shock waves for mechanical testing
- Experience in the use of laser-plasma-generated shock waves
- Experience in time- and space-resolved velocimetry
Your Work Environment
This position is based at the PIMM laboratory, within the "Laser" group, and is part of the Astrid Philae project. It focuses on the development of mechanical tests conducted at high strain rates and high pressures—generated via laser-plasma—in collaboration with two industrial partners and the LULI laboratory. Experimental campaigns will be carried out using the Hera facility, located at LULI (Palaiseau). The successful candidate will work across both laboratories.
