CNRS establishes a Junior Professorship in Near Field Microscopy: Applications and Developments M/F

The SPADE Junior Professor Chair aims to recruit a researcher conducting fundamental work in surface physics, making use of — or contributing to the development of — scanning probe microscopy techniques. The proposed research project should fully capitalize on the specific strengths of the host laboratory to develop original work in various areas of condensed matter physics. These may include, but are not limited to, light–matter interactions, innovative low-dimensional materials, and the effects of confinement on their properties in the broadest sense (structural, electronic, optical, magnetic, or chemical reactivity).

🗓️ Contract Period : between 3 and 6 years depending on the research project and the profile of the scientist

💶 Remuneration : Annual salary from 54 600 Euros to 57 800 Euros depending on professionnal experience.

Scientific project: fundamental in nature and experimental, must stand out for its originality and its potential to go beyond the current state of the art. It should propose innovative investigations involving scanning probe microscopy and/or spectroscopy to study phenomena such as light–matter interactions and the properties of advanced materials (structural, electronic, optical, magnetic, or chemical reactivity), without being limited to these topics.

Teaching project: equivalent to 28 hours of lectures or 42 hours of practical or tutorial sessions, aligned with the broad scientific themes of the SPADE Junior Professor Chair.

Possible appointment as Research Director at the end of the contract.

INSP is one of 3 laboratories likely to host the winner.
