Missions

The postdoctoral project aims to participate in a joint effort to further hybridize and integrate multiple functionalities on a single chip to realize advanced devices opening the door to future chip-scale optical clocks, optically pumped magnetometers and optomechanical temperature sensors. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the development of widely tunable on-chip lasers and contribute to the development of new optoelectronic devices, essential elements for new integrated quantum enhancement techniques...

Activities

- Design, manufacture and test an integrated semiconductor laser
- Develop simulations to predict and improve laser performance
- Collaborate with external collaborators to characterize devices and use them in other experiments
- Publish research results in high-quality scientific journals and present them at international conferences.

Skills

- PhD in physics
- Solid experience in photonics and optoelectronics
- Experience in the physics of semiconductor optoelectronic devices and their fabrication process is mandatory.
- Knowledge of integrated photonic device design and characterization is highly desirable.
- Experience of simulation software, such as Lumerical or COMSOL.
- Ability to work effectively in a team

Work Context

The Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies - C2N (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay), was created on June 1, 2016 from the merger of two Paris Region laboratories that were leaders in their fields: the Laboratoire de Photonique et de Nanostructures (LPN) and the Institut d'Electronique Fondamentale (IEF). In 2018, the teams moved into a new building at the heart of the Paris-Saclay Campus. The creation of C2N on the Saclay plateau is part of an ambitious project. The Center takes advantage of its location, which is highly conducive to exchanges with academic laboratories and R&D in the local industrial fabric. It synergizes the former IEF and LPN teams and brings together critical strengths in key research areas. It meets two main inseparable objectives: - to create a flagship laboratory for research in Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies - to provide the Saclay plateau and the Paris region with a major Technology Center open to all academic and industrial players in the field, especially those from the Paris region The center develops research in the fields of materials, nanophotonics, nanoelectronics, nanobio-technologies and microsystems, as well as nanotechnologies. It covers both fundamental and applied aspects of these fields. C2N's scientific project has been built around 10 major scientific challenges, which cut across all 4 departments and federate research in the fields of nanophotonics, nanoelectronics, nanobiotechnologies and microsystems.

The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
