Job Description
Missions
The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (LNCMI-Grenoble, CNRS) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for one year (renewable) to contribute to the research activities of the “Metals & Superconductors” group on strongly correlated electron systems under high magnetic field and very low temperature, and to take part in local-contact duties for external users during high-field experimental campaigns.
Scientific field: experimental condensed matter physics; strongly correlated electron systems; intermetallic heavy-fermion, kagome and Kondo compounds; field-induced exotic states (magnetic order, superconductivity, FFLO state, spin- and charge-density waves); frustrated magnetic insulators.
Research project: the project aims at characterising, through high-field, low-temperature measurements (calorimetry, magnetic torque / quantum oscillations, and occasionally electrical transport), the electronic instabilities and phase transitions of intermetallic compounds and frustrated insulators. The group benefits from an extensive network of academic collaborations providing high-quality single crystals on a regular basis.
Laboratory / team: LNCMI-Grenoble (CNRS), “Metals & Superconductors” group, under the scientific responsibility of Dr. Albin DE MUER and Dr. Ilya SHEIKIN.
Activity
- Perform experiments under high magnetic field (up to several tens of teslas) and very low temperature, mainly by calorimetry and magnetic torque (quantum oscillations), occasionally by electrical transport.
- Contribute to the preparation and characterisation of single-crystal samples received from collaborators.
- Analyse, interpret and model experimental data (phase diagrams, Fermi surfaces, thermodynamic parameters).
- Act as local contact: welcome and assist external user teams during their measurement campaigns on LNCMI facilities, set up experimental equipment, provide technical support and ensure safety compliance.
- Contribute to the scientific dissemination of results: writing articles, presenting at conferences and seminars, maintaining the group's national and international collaborations.
- Contribute, where relevant, to the supervision of trainees or PhD students.
Your Profil
Skills
- PhD in physics (condensed matter physics).
- Experience in low-temperature and/or high-magnetic-field experimental techniques.
- Knowledge of strongly correlated electron systems and the associated theoretical concepts.
- Practical experience with cryogenics (dilution refrigerators, 3He cryostats) and/or calorimetry / torque magnetometry.
- Data analysis and scientific programming skills (Python, Matlab, or similar).
- Good written and oral communication skills in English.
- Autonomy, rigour, and ability to work within a collaborative team, including technical interaction with external users.
Your Work Environment
The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses is a CNRS large scale research infrastructure allowing researchers to carry out experiments in some of the most intense magnetic fields in the world. Continuous fields up to 37 T are available on the Grenoble site. Furthermore, unique experimental home-made setups are available for advanced physical measurements under high magnetic fields.
The candidate will work in the “Metals & Superconductors” research group strongly interacting with Dr. Albin DE MUER and Dr. Ilya SHEIKIN, and will collaborate with national and international research teams in the frame of already existing collaborations.
