Research scientist – experimenter in nanophotonics H/F

The LEPO group of SPEC is looking for an experimental physicist to take part in our current projects and propose new developments towards the understanding and control of the photonic response of nanomaterials.

These studies may include the development and implemnetation of new concepts of optical and multimodal microscopy at the nanometer scale, taking advantage of optical near field measurements and local probe techniques, as well as the design of nanolabels …

These researches are integrated in a team work, a strong synergy with the group being expected.

The person recruited will have a PhD in nanosciences completed by a first post-doctoral research experience (~ 2 years).

He/she will have acquired solid skills in the fields of electromagnetism and nanophotonics, with previous experience in the implementation of experimental techniques specific to nanoscience: local probes, optical or electronic near-field, etc.

Knowledge in the implementation of nanomaterials or organic materials would be appreciated. Experience working in clean rooms would be considered a plus.

Scientific communication skills, writing skills, rigor and scientific integrity will be particularly taken into account, as well as human qualities and teamwork skills.

The person recruited will rely on the tools/skills present in the laboratory, in close collaboration with the technicians, researchers and engineers of the laboratory. He/she will be a driving force in developing new projects and expanding the group’s thematic scope.

The candidates will have to constitute a file including:

• a curriculum vitae,
• a list of publications,
• letters of recommendation,
• a short text summarizing their past work,
• the project (in 2 pages) that he/she wishes to propose in the framework described above
• a letter of motivation justifying the adequacy of their profile with the position and the proposed project.

Deadline for applications: 31/12/2022

A shortlist of candidates will be drawn up for an audition by an advisory selection committee in January 2023.

The position will be offered starting on March 1st 2023
