Post-doctoral researcher position M/W: Study of magnetic systems under strong magnetic fields.: Etude de systèmes magnétiques sous champ magnétique intense. M/F

The post-doc will study various magnetic systems under extreme conditions of intense magnetic field and low temperature. In particular, he/she will carry out a series of measurements (magnetic diffraction, Larmor diffraction, magnetocaloric effect measurements, etc.) to characterize the field-induced phases in the frustrated antiferromagnetic compound TbB4. He/she will be involved in instrumentation projects to improve the sensitivity of magnetization measurements in high pulsed magnetic fields. In addition to his/her own research activities, he/she will sometimes be part of a team of local contacts receiving external users on the IN22 spectrometer at the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL, Grenoble) or on the ID24 beamline at the ESRF (Grenoble) for magnetic diffraction (ILL) or X-ray absorption spectroscopy (ESRF) experiments using pulsed field devices developed by the LNCMI-T.

The post-doc will mainly carry out neutron diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and pulsed magnetic field magnetization experiments. He/she will get involved in the samples' characterization (LAUE diffraction, preparation by polishing) prior to their mounting on sample holders. He/she will take in charge the preparation of the experiments and the data analysis, as well as in designing new software tools for data treatment. He/she will analyze data and disseminate results through peer reviewed publications and presentations at scientific meetings and conferences.

The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (LNCMI) is a research infrastructure welcoming researchers from around the world for high magnetic field experiments. At two sites, LNCMI offers continuous fields up to 37 T in Grenoble (LNCMI-G) and pulsed fields up to 90 T in Toulouse (LNCMI-T). The scientific activities of the laboratory involved both in-house and collaborative research.
The postdoctoral researcher will work in the scientific team “Quantum conductors and magnets” of the LNCMI-T. He/she will collaborate with researchers and engineers from LNCMI-T, CEA-Grenoble, ILL and ESRF, as well as the DESY synchrotron center in Hamburg.
