Job Description
Missions
• The candidate will deposit thin films on various substrates by sputtering.
• They will develop an AFM method to characterize the mechanical properties at the surface of different materials used in batteries.
• They will undergo training on the new nanoindentation instrument that the laboratory is currently installing and will develop protocols to characterize the various mechanical properties of battery materials.
• They will carry out thin-film deposition at IEMN, chemical and structural characterizations at UCCS, and electrochemical validation of the electrodes at IEMN.
• They will benefit from the technological environment of IEMN's two platforms (CMNF and PCMP) as well as that of the Chevreul Institute at the University of Lille.
• They will be responsible for writing technical reports and presenting results during the project's technical meetings.
Activity
• Deposition of thin films by sputtering on various substrates
• Development of nanoindentation protocols
• Mechanical characterization by AFM and nanoindentation inside the glovebox
• Structural characterization by XRD
• Morphological characterization by SEM and AFM
• Electrical characterization
• Writing of technical reports and presentation of results
Your Profil
Skills
The recruited candidate will hold the level of a research engineer. They must have a PhD (BAC+8). Significant professional experience of several years in the field of thin films and solid-state batteries, together with training in the mechanical properties of materials, would be an advantage.
Your Work Environment
• The candidate will carry out thin-film deposition at IEMN in the cleanroom and in the new cluster, nanoindentation, AFM, and SEM characterizations at IEMN, chemical and structural characterizations at UCCS, and electrochemical validation of the electrodes at IEMN.
• The position is located in a sector covered by the Protection of Scientific and Technical Potential (PPST) and therefore requires, in accordance with regulations, that your arrival be authorized by the competent authority of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR).
Constraints and risks
• Work in the cleanroom
• Handling of lithium and air-sensitive materials
• Strict compliance with safety rules related to deposition processes and instrumental analyses
