Nano-photonics postdoc position - Besançon, France

The postdoc will work in the DGA-ANR project called ESENCYAL (Electric Field Sensors based on electro-optic photonic crystals) that starts on the 1st of March 2014 and lasts 3 years. The postdoc will be in charge of the design and optical characterization of the electric field photonic crystal sensors that will be fabricated on lithium niobate thin films. He/she will interact and work with the clean room engineer in charge of the nanofabrication.
The candidate will have to design and simulate by using the FDTD method or the finite element method the electro-optic behavior of the structures and to come up with the most suitable design for high sensitivity electric field sensors. He or she will have also to take into consideration the optical coupling of these type of photonic crystal devices and thus to study different tapering techniques to find out the most optimum solution.
The candidate must fulfill the following requirements:
- To have done a PhD thesis in the domain of nano-photonics. A PhD thesis on photonic crystals will be considered a plus.
- Good knowledge on electromagnetic numerical simulation methods
- Good English (written and oral)

Period: 24 months
NET Salary: 2208 € /month
