Post-doc in Nanophotonics F/H

In the frame of the Joint Program on Optoelectronics and Nanophotonics between Lyon Institute of Nanotechnology, INL (UMR5270) – France and AMS OSRAM – Germany, a post-doctoral researcher position is open for a duration of 24 months, The establishment of this position is supported by the Important Project of Common European Interest on microelectronics and communication technologies (IPCEI ME/CT) - OptoSuRe (16IPCEI221).

This Joint Program aims at developing novel and fully functional miniaturized Light Emitting Diodes assisted by nanophotonic structures, including photonic crystals, metasurfaces or other related structures. With such integration, key properties like the radiation pattern or the polarization state will be controlled, while maintaining high electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency and limiting the technological cost. The open post-doc position will be focused on the modelling and simulation of the targeted devices. The post-doc fellow will collaborate with the INL i-Lum team permanent researchers involved in the project, the INL-OSRAM Chair holder, a PhD student, and an engineer to be recruited in the frame of this Program.

The research work of the post-doc will involve electromagnetic simulation. The methods to be used will include FDTD, RCWA, in both commercial distribution (Lumerical, Rosft…) and available codes (MEEP, S4,…) available on several large scale simulation capabilities (PMCS2I,…). The post-doc could be involved in the test and development of more advanced functionalities (RCWA with light source embedded in the stack,…) These optical simulations could be assisted by electro-optical modelling.

We are looking for candidates with a strong background in nanophotonics and/or optoelectronics, and skills in electromagnetic simulations. Excellent communication skills in English complete your profile.

The working place will be mainly INL – Ecully, Centrale Lyon campus, partly at Lyontech La Doua campus, both in the Lyon metropolis area.
