Job Responsibilities
The SPHYNX group at SPEC is seeking a dedicated experimental researcher to:
Enhance ongoing projects focused on the design, optimization, fabrication, and analysis of ultralight, robust random metamaterials.
Develop and propose, in collaboration with the existing team, a novel research direction on related topics, such as 4D metamaterials, multifunctional metamaterials, programmable metamaterials, bioinspired designs, or origami- and kirigami-inspired structures. The integration of the proposed research within the laboratory will be a key aspect of the application.
The successful candidate will become a vital member of the Fracture and Novel Materials team at SPHYNX, collaborating closely with technicians, engineers, researchers, and students. Responsibilities will include designing innovative experimental setups, conducting original experiments, interpreting data with support from numerical or theoretical modeling, and disseminating findings through publications and various communications. Access to all technological resources at SPEC will be provided, including platforms for mechanical characterization, nanofabrication, mechanical workshops, electronics labs, and additive manufacturing facilities.
Additionally, the candidate will benefit from a broad network of past and present collaborators within CEA, Paris-Saclay University, and at national and international levels. Contributions to the supervision of student interns, apprentices, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers will also be expected. The role will involve active participation in project development and fundraising efforts, with opportunities to engage in tasks of collective or institutional significance.
Candidate Profile
Required Qualifications:
A PhD in Physics or Mechanical Engineering, ideally with one or two postdoctoral experiences, demonstrating solid expertise in areas such as non-linear physics or solid mechanics, including soft matter, fracture mechanics, and mechanical instabilities. A naturally curious and creative individual, capable of engaging in innovative experiments from conception through to result interpretation. Familiarity with numerical and mathematical methods in solid and structural mechanics is advantageous but not essential. A strong team player with a keen interest in collaborative research within an interdisciplinary environment involving diverse skill sets. A solid foundation in fundamental research is essential; sensitivity to innovation and practical applications of research is a plus. Proven experience in writing research articles, project proposals, and funding applications is required.Application Process:
Interested candidates should submit their applications through the designated job site, including:
A cover letter detailing relevant skills and suitability for the position, A comprehensive curriculum vitae, A list of publications, Letters of recommendation or a list of references, A proposed project outline (2 pages) relevant to the described framework.Position Location
