Postdoc openings
Offre de Post-Doctorat: Fonctionnalisation de surfaces métalliques par sol-gel micro-nanostructurable
Début: Septembre/Octobre 2024.
Durée: 18 mois.
Localisation: Laboratoire Hubert Curien, Saint-Etienne, France.
Candidatures: à envoyer avant le 19 Juillet 2024.
Le travail portera sur l’étude et l’amélioration de l’adhérence entre un sol-gel structurable et un substrat métallique.
Compétences recherchées:
- Caractérisation des interfaces et des matériaux
- Synthèse et dépôt sol-gel
- Autonomie, rigueur
- Goût prononcé pour le travail multidisciplinaire
Information et envoi des candidatures: CV, lettre de motivation ainsi qu’une ou deux lettres de recommandation à envoyer à:
- Nicolas Crespo-Monteiro : nicolas.crespo.monteiro @ univ-st-etienne.fr

Post-Doc: Surface functionalization and characterization for surface plasmon resonance-based sensing - MonBone Project
Start: ASAP (Urgent)
Duration: 12 months
Location: Saint-Etienne (Laboratoire Sainbiose, / Laboratoire Hubert Curien)
Prerequisite: The candidate must have defended his/her thesis in the last 3 years
MonBone Project (Manutech-SLEIGHT Graduate School funding / Sainbiose & Hubert Curien labs). The ideal candidate will have a PhD in Chemistry/Materials Science, or related disciplines with a strong academic background and publication record. The candidate must have experience in surface functionalization and characterization. Experience with microfluidics is a plus. The candidate will have the responsibility to functionalize and characterize sensing platforms. She/he will develop specific functionalization protocols to detect key target analytes. Integration of the sensing platform within the perfusion system will be required for the sensing protocols to be optimised accordingly. This is a multidisciplinary project and the successful candidate should be willing to and capable of interacting with team members from disciplines ranging from cell biology and chemistry to physics. The candidate will also be expected to disseminate results to the broader scientific community, thus having written and oral presentation skill sets.

Ph.D. openings
CIFRE PhD offer: Elaboration of thin film coatings and laser processing for the customization of secure ID documents
Start: 1st November 2023
Location: Hubert Curien Lab + IREIS Lab , Saint-Etienne, France
Deadline: A.S.A.P. before 1st September 2023.
Note: All employment at the Hubert Curien Laboratory is decided on the sole basis of qualifications, competence, integrity and organizational need. All are encouraged to apply to job openings regardless of their origin, identity, health, beliefs and orientations.
The objective of this project is to develop innovative secure printing solutions for visual authentication of physical ID documents to prevent their counterfeiting (illegal reproduction of a genuine document) and forgery (alteration of a part of a genuine document to give misleading information).
Expected candidate profile:
- Advanced knowledge in optics, photonics and material science
- Experience in programming with Python (or similar)
- Open-minded, curious and interested in working with both industry and academia
- Ability to take initiatives and work in autonomy, good French writing and communication skills
- At least B2 level in English
