Offer Description

The post-doc researcher will prepare autoclave experiments for Raman X experiments and analyze them, as well as second harmonic scattering experiments with the Fresnel Institute.

• Perform experiments in IXS
• Perform experiments in second harmonic generation
• Interpret the results

Part of the work will be carried out at the Institut Néel: preparation of HP-HT experiments within the MRS (Materials, Radiations, Structure) team, the FAME team at the ESRF and in collaboration with the Xpress "pôle" and the optics and microscopy "pôle". Another part will perform at the ESRF on the ID20 beamline. Collaboration with the Fresnel Institute in Marseille will require travel to Marseille.

The Institut NÉEL is a CNRS unit (UPR 2940) under agreement with the University Grenoble Alpes. The laboratory is related to the CNRS Physique. It is located in Grenoble, in the heart of a unique scientific, industrial and cultural environment. It is one of the largest French national research institutes for fundamental research in condensed matter physics enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering and biology. It consists of 450 employees, including 175 researchers. CNRS is a public, scientific and technological organisation. The core mandate is to identify, carry out ou have carried out, either alone or with partners, all research that advances science or contributes to the country's economic, social, and cultural progress. Internationally recognised for the excellence of its scientific research, the CNRS is a reference in the world of research and development, as well as for the general public.

• Know how to write research proposals
• Perform experiments in HP-HT autoclaves
• Have a basic understanding of radiation-matter interaction, particularly in optical Raman and X-ray spectroscopy
• Know how to write scientific paper scientifiques
