General information
Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Description de l'unité
More than 4,000 people involved in societal challenges!
With its Technological Research Division (DRT), the CEA acts as an innovation accelerator for industry in all sectors, meeting the challenges of our health, safety, information technologies and energy future...
The main mission of CEA LETI's Autonomy and Sensor Integration Laboratory (LAIC) is to develop sensor systems, and in particular quantum sensors for high-precision magnetic field measurement applications. The team's activities are at the interface of hardware (electronics, optronics, semiconductors), software (artificial intelligence, signal processing) and systems (electronic architecture, mechatronics, multiphysics modeling). The Swarm project (https://swarm.cnes.fr/en/), which put our quantum sensors for measuring the Earth's magnetic field into orbit in 2013, is one of our track records, and a new program with similar objectives gets underway this year.

Job title
Post-doc researcher- Development of optoelectronic systems for quantum sensor technologies-24 months
Subject
Quantum technologies are strategic for the development of sensors with unrivalled performances, as we have demonstrated in magnetometry. Our challenge today is to adapt these developments and this know-how to new physics.
To support our developments in quantum sensors, we are looking for an opto-electronics post-doc researcher to design new quantum sensors and develop the associated optical benches. This post-doc position will have a significant experimental component.
Contract duration (months)
24
Job description
Your main mission will be to participate to the development of these new sensors and their associated characterization benches, interfacing with CEA experts in the field.
More specifically, your mission will revolve around the following actions:
- Design and assembly of quantum sensors (optical fibers, RF sources, photodetectors)
- Participation in modeling the physical phenomena involved
- Design and build the optical characterization benches
- Development of the control electronics
- Publication of results in scientific journals
- Presentation of work in international conferences
- Patents proposal
Methods / Means
optical benches, lasers, matlab
Applicant Profile
We are looking for an inspiring and passionate candidate to join the laboratory as a post-doc researcher in opto-electronics, with the following skills:
- PhD in photonics / optoelectronics / atomic physics
- Proven experience in the design of optical systems and characterization benches, including laser control.
- Ability to understand and model quantum physical phenomena (light/matter interactions in particular).
- Fluency in written and spoken English.
