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 - 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.
