Description du poste

We have an opening position for a Postdoctoral Research Staff Member in the field of plasma physics. You will be integrated in a team of physicists conducting experiment on various installations (laser fs or ns, XFEL, synchrotrons, high pulse power), and developing numerical simulations and analysis tools. In order to develop new models into ESTHER, the candidate will be interacting with experienced scientist in Equation Of State calculations or Particles In-Cell development.

What is expected:

• Developing new models, such as mixing model, or non-thermal electrons distribution.
• Designing and conductiong new experiments in order to validate the models.
• Interpreting measurements and performing numerical simulations.
• Comparing experimental data and numerical results to provide new interpretations and advanced physics understanding.
• Working as a team member among experimental and theoretical physicists.
• Publishing/presenting your research results in peer reviewed scientific journals and international conferences.
• PhD in plasma physics or related field.
• Demonstrated knowledge of basic plasma physics.
• Experience in developing analytical models and software development.
• Documented publication record in peer reviewed literature and experience presenting research results to a large audience.
• Experience in carrying out independent research.
• Proficient verbal and written communication skills necessary to work in a multidisciplinary team environment, author technical and scientific reports and publications, and deliver scientific presentations.
• Experience in working independently and in a team environment to achieve program goals in a timely fashion.

Conformément aux engagements pris par le CEA en faveur de l'intégration des personnes handicapées, cet emploi est ouvert à toutes et à tous. Le CEA propose des aménagements et/ou des possibilités d'organisation pour l’inclusion des travailleurs handicapés.

Participant à la protection nationale, une enquête administrative est réalisée pour tous les collaborateurs du CEA afin d'assurer l'intégrité et la sécurité de la nation.
