About this position
PhD opportunity in Physics at Institut Néel in Grenoble, France, within the QuanG2 doctoral programme coordinated by Université Grenoble Alpes. The project focuses on electron ptychography, 4D-STEM, and advanced transmission electron microscopy applied to nitride quantum materials such as quantum dots and quantum wells, potentially embedded in a p-n junction.
The research aims to reconstruct atomic-scale and three-dimensional electrostatic information in semiconductor nanostructures, including strain fields, local electric fields, interfaces, and chemical/species-related contrast. The work combines sample preparation, 4D-STEM data acquisition on a probe-corrected TEM with a fast camera, data analysis using CoM and ptychography, and comparison with finite-element simulations.
This is a fully funded three-year PhD position under the Horizon Europe COFUND framework. Applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent, must not already hold a doctorate, and must satisfy the MSCA mobility rule for France. Interest in solid-state and experimental physics is required; Python programming, mathematics, simulations, and semiconductor characterization are advantageous.
Deadline: 7 September 2026 at 12:00 PM (Paris time). Apply via the QuanG2 online application platform.
Funding details
Fully funded three-year PhD position under the QuanG2 PhD Call and Horizon Europe COFUND/MSCA framework. The programme provides funding for research and training activities.
What's required
Applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent by the application deadline and must not already hold a doctoral degree. Applicants must comply with the MSCA mobility rule, meaning they must not have resided or carried out their main activity in France for more than 12 months during the 36 months immediately preceding the deadline. Applicants must not be current employees of the host laboratory. Interest in solid-state and experimental physics is required; affinity with Python programming, mathematics, simulations, and interest in electrical and optical properties of semiconductors and advanced TEM characterization are preferred.
How to apply
Apply through the QuanG2 online application platform using the application form linked in the post. Submit the application by 7 September 2026 at 12:00 PM Paris time. Eligible candidates will be shortlisted for online and in-person interviews later in 2026.
