Permanent position in Laser Physics and Nonlinear Optics at CEA, LiDYL, Saclay, France (Deadline: 31.05.2026)
Join the SLIC team (Short-Pulse Laser Systems and Support) at LIDYL as a Research Scientist and carry out high-level experimental research.
You will develop a cutting-edge experimental research programme in femtosecond laser physics and related nonlinear optics, helping to shape the future evolution of LIDYL’s laser platforms.
You will also contribute to the group’s experimental Research and Development programme and may collaborate closely with industrial partners on selected projects.
To a lesser extent, you may occasionally be involved in supporting the operation of laser systems alongside the team members responsible for these activities.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Initiating and developing an original, high-level experimental research programme in femtosecond laser development and associated diagnostics.
• Actively contributing to project development and research of fundings by responding to competitive internal and external calls (national funding agencies, Horizon Europe, internal CEA programmes, etc.).
• Establishing and strengthening collaborations with other national and international laser laboratories.
• Contributing to the evolution of the different laser beamlines (ATTOLab, UHI100, Nanolight) by proposing innovative solutions to address the immediate needs of other LIDYL groups and anticipate their future requirements.
• Supervising interns, PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers.
• Disseminating scientific results at the highest level through publications in leading journals and presentations at international conferences.
