Post-doctoral position in experimental solid-state physics (M/F)

Job Description

Missions

The post-doctoral position at the Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (LNCMI)- Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Grenoble, in experimental solid-states physics. The research activities will comprise magneto-optical experiments on novel semimetal and semiconductor materials in the scope of ANR TEASER project, see below.

Activity

Research work in the field of experimental solid-state physics targeting electronic and optical properties of novel materials (2D and quasi-2D materials, and topological matter, in particular), in the scope of ANR TEASER project that aims at realization of Landau-polariton laser, based on topological materials with Dirac-type electronic excitations. The realization of proposed experiments also implies work during nights and weekends (compensation in the form of time off).

Your Profil

Skills

Magneto-optical spectroscopy in the infrared and THz spectral range (FTIR, absorption, reflectivity Raman scattering, FTIR). Solid knowledge of experimental condensed-matter physics (semiconductors & semimetals) expected.

Your Work Environment

The LNCMI, located at two sites (Toulouse and Grenoble), is a CNRS laboratory (UPR3228) and a Research Facility (IR). It is affiliated with INSA Toulouse, the University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA), and Paul Sabatier University (UPS, Toulouse).
The LNCMI enables researchers to conduct experiments in some of the world's strongest magnetic fields. Continuous fields of up to 36 T are available at the Grenoble site.

The successful candidate will be embedded within the Semiconductor and Nanophysics group (consisting of 10 members at the moment) and is expected to collaborate closely with the permanent research staff, postdoctoral fellows and PhD students of the Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses in Grenoble (LNCMI). The LNCMI is a host laboratory for experiments in high dc magnetic fields (currently up to 37T). The scientific activities of the laboratory involve both in house and collaborative research. The access to high-magnetic-field facilities is possible after submission of experiment proposals and their selection by an international committee. The LNCMI in Grenoble is also member of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory. The candidate successful will thus have a chance to learn about physics in high magnetic fields in the European and word-wide context.

Constraints and risks

The LNCMI facilities operate 7 days a week, 20 hours a day. Depending on the schedule, experiments on resistive magnets may occasionally be carried out during off-peak hours and at weekends (compensation in the form of time off)

The role requires occasional work in areas with a static magnetic field. This excludes applications from individuals who are not authorised to undertake such work (e.g. those with active or passive medical implants).

Occasional travel within France or abroad may be required.
