Ph.D. openings
PhD - Unravelling ultrafast heat transfer in glasses by direct mid-infrared probing of anharmonic vibrations
Start: February 2025
Duration: 36 months
Application deadline: 29th November 2024
Location: Laboratoire Hubert Curien (Université Jean Monnet - UJM, St-Etienne)
Interested candidates should send:
- A complete CV;
- A cover letter;
- A copy of a valid ID document (ID card, passport…)
to:
- Vincenzo De Michele vincenzo.demichele @ univ-st-etienene.fr
The objective is to reveal a competition between electronically-induced and collisional activation of vibration modes. The purpose is to observe energy transfer to the matrix under conditions of strong coupling by directly interrogating the material matrix, i.e. by time-resolved monitoring of individual vibrational signatures on ultrafast scales using dynamic mid-IR ultrafast spectroscopy.

PhD - Vanadium Dioxide-Based Films for Randomizing Photonic Emission and Absorption of Integrated Circuits
Start: October 2024
Duration: 3 years
Application deadline: 30th April 2024
Location: Laboratoire Hubert Curien (Université Jean Monnet - UJM, St-Etienne)
Interested candidates should send a CV to both:
- Florent Bourquard, Associate Professor florent.bourquard @ univ-st-etienne.fr
- Florence Garrelie, Professor florence.garrelie @ univ-st-etienne.fr
The goal is to develop a smart coating that will prevent exploiting the photonic emission and absorption from integrated circuits, effectively limiting the use of optical techniques to reverse-engineer microchips or access the stored secret data.

PhD - Ultrafast laser interaction for chemical and topological functionalization of surfaces
Start: January 2024
Application deadline: 30th September 2023
Location: Split time between the Laboratoire Hubert Curien (Université Jean Monnet - UJM, St-Etienne), and the Laboratoire Georges Friedel (École des Mines de Saint-Étienne), with regular mobilities at the University of Ottawa's Photonics Research Centre.
Interested candidates should send a CV and a cover letter to both:
- Florent Bourquard, Associate Professor florent.bourquard @ univ-st-etienne.fr
- Florence Garrelie, Full Professor florence.garrelie @ univ-st-etienne.fr
The goal of this work is to exploit ultrafast laser-matter interaction to generate new surface functionalization by not only creating topographical texturation but also by modifying and controlling the chemical state of the irradiated substrate, in particular oxidation processes and stoichiometry modifications in the case of alloys.

Master 2 Internship - Advanced Laser Patterning for Engineering Standardized Bio-chips
Duration: 6 months, starting 2025
Location: Laboratoire Hubert Curien (Université Jean Monnet - UJM, St-Etienne)
A bio-chip with a vast variety of nanostructures on the chip would enable fast screening and inspire advanced designs of functional surfaces for many biological/biomedical applications (screening human cells, bacteria and smaller sub-cell units, etc). This internship is to design and fabricate such bio-chips using state-of-the-art ultrafast laser micro-/nano-processing technology.
Interested candidates should send a CV, cover letter, letter of recommendation/contacts to both:
- Dr Sedao xxx.sedao @ univ-st-etienne.fr
- Nicolas Faure nicolas.faure @ univ-st-etienne.fr
