Offer Description
The postdoc will benefit from stimulating environments in Strasbourg (D. Hagenmüller, CESQ-ISIS) and Bordeaux (R. Avriller, LOMA) for carrying theoretical work, and will collaborate with a local experimental group (C. Genet/T. Ebbesen, ISIS) with strong expertise in chiral light-matter interactions and strongly-coupled molecular systems in cavities. The project is part of the national project "TORNADO" funded by the PEPR LUMA ("programme et équipements prioritaires de recherche" on light-matter interaction) involving 13 different laboratories with outstanding expertise in chiral light-matter interactions.
The goal of the project is to theoretically propose and investigate cavity-induced modifications of chiroptical and topological properties of materials embedded inside open Fabry-Perot chiral cavities or chiral plasmonic structures specifically designed to host chiral modes.
The project focuses on the development of theory models. Most of the work will thus be analytical calculations, but numerical skills will be greatly appreciated. The candidate must have a PhD in theoretical physics (date of PhD defense typically less than 2 years before hiring), and a strong background in quantum optics models, and/or condensed-matter theory (solid-state/molecular systems), and/or quantum transport. The postdoc will eventually collaborate with PhD students working on similar topics. A good command of English, an ability to work in a team, and strong communication skills for presenting scientific results are also desired.
