Postdoctoral research in experimental condensed matter physics, magneto-optical spectroscopy in extreme conditions (M/F)

Job Description

Missions

Postdoctoral position at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (LNCMI) – French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), Grenoble, in experimental condensed matter physics. The research activities will focus on magneto-optical studies of new layered magnetic materials and heterostructures of layered materials, under extreme conditions of low temperature, high magnetic field, and high hydrostatic pressure.

Activity

Magneto-optical studies of 2D and quasi-2D systems under extreme conditions of low temperatures, high magnetic fields, and high hydrostatic pressure. Particular emphasis will be placed on new materials exhibiting ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic order, as well as their heterostructures. The proposed work also includes experiments using our laboratory's high magnetic field facility, often conducted at night and on weekends. The proposed work also includes supervising experiments from external visitors.

Your Profil

Skills

-Optical spectroscopy in the visible energy range (luminescence, absorption, Raman scattering)
- Strong background in condensed matter physics (semimetals, semiconductors, and magnetic materials)
- Experience in high-pressure spectroscopy techniques (diamond anvil cell) and/or high magnetic field spectroscopy will be an asset

Your Work Environment

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (LNCMI), located on two sites (Toulouse and Grenoble), is a CNRS laboratory (UPR3228) and a National Research Facility (IR). It is affiliated with INSA Toulouse, Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), and Université Paul Sabatier (UPS, Toulouse).
The LNCMI enables researchers to conduct experiments in some of the world's most intense magnetic fields, with continuous fields up to 36 T available at the Grenoble site.
The successful candidate will become a member of the LNCMI team. They will join the Semiconductors and Nanophysics Group (currently composed of 7 members) and will be expected to collaborate closely with the permanent research staff, postdoctoral fellows, and PhD students at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (LNCMI) in Grenoble.
