In the framework of the Wall-Co research project, a 3-year PhD position is opened in CEA-SPEC. Summary: Ferroelectrics are insulating by nature but the recent discovery of domain wall conduction has triggered a new era for these materials: domain walls exhibit very different electronic properties and can be controlled (written or erased) under application of low power electrical fields. They are naturally nano-sized and therefore highly scalable. The conceptual breach is based here on the domain wall itself becoming the active element of the device.

In the framework of the FEMINIST research project, a 1-year post-doc position is opened in UPSUD-LPS. Summary: The project aims at studying the physics of current induced torques in ferrimagnetic nanostripes using magneto-transport measurements. It would hire a postdoc for 1 year to develop transport measurements to characterize current-induced torques. These experiments will be performed over a large range of temperature and magnetic field in order to take full advantage of the specificity of ferrimagnetic materials, the magnetic compensation with MS=0.

In the framework of the AXION flagship, a post-doc position is opened in CEA. The candidate will have experience in oxide thin film deposition by PLD and/or magneto-optics. He/She must have a PhD in a relevant field of Physics Summary: The materials of interest are antiferromagnets (AF) which will thus be deposited in thin film form and characterized. The goal of the proposed work is to affect the antiferromagnetic order in a controlled manner using either electric fields, strain, spin currents or heat.

In the framework of the AXION flagship, a 18-month post-doc position is opened. The candidate will be a PhD in materials science, physics or chemistry, and ideally specialized in ALD. Offer from GEMaC in UVSQ Summary: The main objective of AXION project (labex Nanosaclay flagship) is to endow the Paris-Saclay campus with a dedicated tool, namely ALD (atomic layer deposition) for the growth of large-area and high-quality oxide film on silicon wafers (2 inches). You will be mainly involved in the ALD growth and characterization of perovskite oxides such as the multiferroic BiFeO3.

CEA is actively committed to the development of hydrogen proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Efforts in the Fundamental Research Division, in particular in the SolHyCat team, aim at designing new catalytic materials for hydrogen oxidation (HOR) based on earth-abundant elements for the purpose to replace platinum-group metals (PGMs).
