About this position
PhD opportunity in quantum sensing, spin defects, solid-state physics, and 2D materials at CNRS in Montpellier, France.
The thesis will be carried out in the Solid-state Quantum Technologies team (S2QT) at the Charles Coulomb Laboratory. The project is supervised by Vincent Jacques and focuses on optically active spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), especially the boron vacancy (VB) defect, for magnetic field detection and quantitative magnetic field imaging.
The research aims to develop a flexible, atomically thin quantum sensing foil based on 2D hBN flakes, including work down to the monolayer limit, and to integrate the sensor into van der Waals heterostructures to probe interfaces in stacked 2D materials. The application highlights interest in 2D magnets and 2D superconductors, with measurements at cryogenic temperature (4 K).
Eligibility: a Master degree or equivalent in Physics or a related field is required. The posting also lists basic French as a language requirement and indicates no prior research experience is needed.
Funding: the position is a temporary full-time PhD contract. No stipend amount is stated in the post.
Deadline: 25 September 2026, 23:59 UTC. The position is located in Montpellier, France.
Apply via the CNRS job portal or the linked Euraxess page.
