About this position

PhD opportunity at Observatoire de Paris (LIRA) in France on Compact Terahertz Instruments for Space Terahertz Astronomy.

The project focuses on terahertz astronomy, THz heterodyne receivers, Schottky diode technology, MMICs, RF/electromagnetic design, and compact integration paradigms for space instrumentation. The research aims to reduce the size and complexity of THz front-end receivers while improving performance for future missions and focal-plane array concepts.

The recruited PhD student will review packaging and interfacing solutions for high-frequency hybrid systems, analyze performance-limiting factors, explore compact integration approaches, and study new MMIC schemes using multi-harmonic simulations. The work includes theoretical study, design, and RF measurements at LIRA, with supervision by Dr. Jeanne Treuttel and Dr. Yan Delorme. A stay at ETEC may also be included for collaboration with experts.

Eligibility highlights: Master degree or equivalent in electronic engineering, solid-state physics, electronics, electromagnetism, or related fields; strong background in high-frequency electronics and electromagnetics; excellent English; basic French; problem-solving ability; good writing and teamwork. Experience with ADS, Ansys HFSS, or similar tools is a plus.

Funding: French PhD grant in partnership with ESA.

Deadline: 31 January 2027.

How to apply: Email the application to [email protected]. An internal application form PDF is provided in the posting.

Funding details
