PhD in Nano Optomechanics: Single-Photon Regime

COFUND QuanG; France; On-site; EUR 20,000 - 27,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Fully funded PhD

Job summary

COFUND QuanG in Grenoble, France, invites applications for a First Stage Researcher PhD (R1) in physics. The project explores optomechanics with suspended silicon carbide nanowires coupled to a photonic crystal optical micro-cavity to study quantum-light interactions at low photon numbers.

The PhD runs three years, is fully funded, and involves collaboration with C2N and LKB laboratories, with MSCA mobility rules requiring not more than 12 months in France in prior 36 months.

Qualifications

• The candidate must hold a Master’s degree or an equivalent qualification by the application deadline.
• MSCA mobility rule applies: no residence or main activity in France for more than 12 months during the 36 months preceding the deadline.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to experiments on optomechanics in the lab.
• Investigate strong optomechanical coupling using micro-cavities.
• Collaborate with teams at C2N and LKB for theory and implementation.
