XMChD X-ray Magnetic Dichroism: Computational Spectroscopy

EURAXESS Ireland; Paris; Hybrid; EUR 28,000 - 39,000; Full time

Job summary

CNRS IMPMC in Paris (and Grenoble) invites applications for a post-doctoral internship to calculate XMChD responses of chiral systems studied in the LUMINESS project. The role combines theory and experiment, requiring solid-state physics, magnetism and exposure to synchrotron radiation measurements.

You will use FDMNES, Quantum Espresso and QUANTY to model XMChD, apply XMCh sum rules and contribute to scholarly articles. Collaboration with the IMPMC team and ESRF's ID12 line is essential.

Qualifications

• Solid background in solid-state physics with emphasis on magnetism and related experimental techniques.
• Experience or strong interest in synchrotron radiation measurements and data interpretation.
• Ability to work both independently and in a collaborative research environment and communicate results clearly.

Responsibilities

• Apply existing codes (FDMNES, Quantum Espresso, QUANTY) to compute XMChD spectral signatures.
• Implement XMCh sum rules and compare with experimental data.
• Write articles documenting calculation activities and results.
