Job description

Offer DescriptionWe are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with experience in spectroscopic instrument development or related areas to work on an ERC-funded proof-of-concept project. The goal is to develop a miniature, quantitative greenhouse gas analyzer based on our successful fiber Fabry-Perot microcavity technology. The instrument will be brought to the market by the newly-founded startup Mirega SAS, with the aim to redefine greenhouse gas emission monitoring, and thus to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.Harnessing the power of Fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, initially developed for quantum information applications, the Atom Chips group ( ) at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB) is developing a miniature, high-precision trace gas analyzer. This project is supported by the EU’s ERC Proof-of-Concept program and by SATT Lutech, the technology transfer office of Sorbonne Université. It has led to the creation of Mirega SAS ( ) in 2023. We have already realized a first prototype, achieving sub-ppm sensitivity for CO2 in a sub-microliter detection volume. We are now looking for a researcher with expertise in development of molecular spectroscopy methods to join our dynamic team and contribute to the development of our miniaturized gas analyzer.As a postdoctoral researcher, you will bring in gas spectroscopy know-how to achieve state-of-the-art quantitative analysis in a novel situation. Your role will involve both experimental work (including advanced locking and modulation schemes, gas management, etc) and data analysis (such as lineshapes and fitting methods, background modeling and compensation, …), as well as the development of new methods adapted to the unique situation of our miniature, high-finesse (F
100 000) cavity. Depending on your skills and interests you may focus on different aspects such as development hardware/software, modulation schemes or advanced data analysis. You will be part of a small and highly motivated multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of academic research and industrial R&D, thanks to the partnership of LKB and Mirega SAS. Successful outcomes from your successful work will lead to both scientific publications and protectable intellectual property.You will work at LKB, a world-leading laboratory in AMO and quantum physics. Our labs are situated at the Physics Department of Ecole Normale Supérieure, offering a vibrant environment for both fundamental research and high-tech startups in the heart of Paris. If you envisage a transition from academic research to industrial R&D, or if you want to develop your profile at the interface of academic research and engineering, this position is an excellent opportunity for you.RequirementsResearch Field Physics Education Level PhD or equivalentLanguages FRENCH Level BasicResearch Field Physics Years of Research Experience NoneAdditional InformationEligibility criteriaWe are looking for candidates with a doctoral degree in physics, chemistry, or a related field, ideally with a specialization in instrument development for gas spectroscopy. Besides the specific qualifications described above, you should have good programming skills, a proven ability to work independently while being an active member of a team, and a good sense of humor.Website for additional job detailsWork Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute Laboratoire Kastler Brossel Country France City PARIS 05 GeofieldWhere to apply WebsiteContact CityPARIS 05 WebsiteSTATUS: EXPIRED
