Activity rate: 100% Function: Assistant Professor Job description We are looking for a motivated collaborator holding a doctorate in a scientific discipline with solid experience in optical spectroscopy and a specialist in the design and modeling of optical systems. Postdoctoral research experience in optical spectroscopy and particularly Raman spectroscopy, non-linear optics and the design of optical systems are required. The position is structured around two complementary axes, academic research and applied research. Academic research The holder collaborates with the research groups of the Faculty of Science and accompanies them throughout the entire experimental chain, from the design and preparation of experiments to the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of data, up to their scientific promotion and publication. He/she implements and develops advanced optical characterization techniques, notably Raman spectroscopy and second harmonic generation, including under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. This activity requires deep expertise in optics, instrumentation and experimentation, as well as a strong ability to solve complex scientific and technical problems. The holder also ensures the maintenance, optimization and evolution of the optical platform equipment and contributes to the development of new experimental devices meeting the needs of fundamental research, particularly in solid-state physics. He/she is thus required to design and implement innovative instrumental solutions, with a high degree of autonomy. Applied research and innovation The holder conducts or participates in industrial mandates and applied research and innovation projects, relying on the equipment and expertise of the optical platform, in partnership with the LTA. He/she notably ensures measurement services for external companies and laboratories, guaranteeing the relevance, reliability and quality of the results. An important part of the position focuses on the development and promotion of innovative technologies resulting from research activity. The candidate must thus have experience in technological development, particularly regarding intellectual property and patents, as well as knowledge in technology transfer and the promotion of research results. Finally, the holder actively contributes to the development of projects and partnerships, notably through the preparation of funding applications and participation in seminars, conferences, round tables, meetings, technology fairs and other events promoting university-industry collaborations. Required title and skills ----------------------------- The candidate must hold a doctorate in a scientific discipline with solid experience in optical spectroscopy and be a specialist in the design and modeling of optical systems. He/she will have a high level of autonomy and the ability to consolidate information from different fields and techniques. The position thus requires a very high-level profile, combining scientific and technical expertise, mastery of optical instrumentation, capacity for innovation and technological development, autonomy in conducting complex projects and the ability to bring together academic and industrial stakeholders around projects with a strong scientific and technological component. Commencement of duties ------------------- Contact ------- Additional information can be obtained from Jeremie Teyssier at Jeremie.Teyssier@ Additional information ----------------------------- An initial contract will be signed for a duration of one year and may be renewed, subject to performance evaluation and available funds. The position is funded by funds from the Département de l'Instruction Publique (DIP) at the level of 80% and by private funds at 20%. Observations ------------ THE POSITION WILL LIKELY BE FILLED INTERNALLY. The University of Geneva offers motivating employment conditions in a stimulating working environment. By joining us, you will have the opportunity to showcase your skills as well as your personality and contribute actively to the influence of an Institution founded in 1559. In a perspective of parity, the University encourages applications from the under-represented sex.
