Offer Description
Postdoctoral Researcher (M/F) at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (LNCMI) – French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), Grenoble, FRANCE, in experimental condensed matter physics.
The selected candidate will join the Ultrasound group, led by D. Le Boeuf. Their mission will be to advance our understanding of novel states of matter arising from strong electronic correlations. More specifically, the mission will focus on investigating the electronic mechanisms underlying unconventional superconductivity in transition metal oxides and heavy fermion systems.
Conducting experiments in cryogenic environments and under high magnetic fields. The selected candidate will measure, analyze, and interpret the ultrasonic and electronic transport properties of strongly correlated electron systems. Numerical methods will be used to analyze and model the results, complementing the activities. The existing measurement setup will be utilized, and its performance will be enhanced to expand measurement capabilities, extend the accessible experimental range to lower temperatures, and improve the sensitivity and quality of the measurements.
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 36 T are available on the Grenoble site. The candidate will work within the ultrasound research group in close collaboration with Dr. Le Boeuf and will engage with national and international research teams through existing partnerships. The successful applicant will have access to all group facilities, including a 20 T superconducting magnet and associated cryogenic inserts covering a wide temperature range, as well as state-of-the-art instrumentation.
