Research Engineer position UHI100 Experimetal Platform, CEA, Saclay, France
The ideal candidate should have carried out experimental activities on one or more laser facilities,
preferably femtosecond laser facilities with a peak power of 100TW class or higher. They should master the physics of laser-matter interaction at high intensity, and they should to be able to propose experimental solutions (e.g., diagnostics) relevant for this regime. They must be able to develop data analysis/processing methods to achieve a detailed understanding of the physics involved in the experiments. They will be committed to developing the facility, working in close collaboration with PHI group scientists.
Knowledge of laser optics and diagnostics, and in particular of methodologies to control the temporal contrast of the laser with plasma mirrors , will be considered as a an asset.
