About this position
Laboratoire Hubert Curien at Université Jean Monnet (Saint-Étienne, France) is advertising a postdoctoral position in the Laser-Matter Interaction team.
The project, BLAST (“Fighting Bacteria with ultrafast LAser fabrication of sharp nanoSTructured surfaces”), focuses on femtosecond laser nanostructuring of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) implant surfaces to create dual-function nanopatterns that are both antibacterial and biocompatible. The work involves controlling self-organized nanostructures such as high-aspect-ratio nanospikes and related laser-induced surface patterns (LIPSS), with applications in biomimetic implants and medical surface engineering.
The postdoc will lead the experimental effort of Work Package 1 and work in a collaborative environment with LTDS (École Centrale de Lyon) and SAINBIOSE (Saint-Étienne). The position is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) under the AAPG2025 PRC scheme. Duration is 24 months, starting 1 January 2027.
Eligibility highlights: PhD in physics, materials science, optics/photonics or a closely related field; hands-on experience with ultrafast laser processing and optical setups (interferometry, polarization control); experience with AFM and/or SEM; FDTD or Python/Matlab skills are an asset; publication record in laser-matter interaction, nanophotonics or surface engineering.
Deadline: 15 November 2026.
How to apply: Email a CV and optional short cover letter to Prof. Jean-Philippe Colombier and Sedao at the addresses provided in the post. A detailed offer is available via the linked page.
