Postdoctoral Fellowship in Spintronics, Ultrafast Magnetism, and Materials Science at Université de Lorraine Université de Lorraine in France

Fully funded postdoctoral fellowship in physics, materials science, and spintronics at Institut Jean Lamour, Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France, with international collaboration and research visits to Tohoku University in Japan.

The project is titled Combining Spin-Transfer Torque and All-Optical Switching in Ultrafast Spintronic Devices and focuses on next-generation high-speed, low-power spintronic devices. Research themes include spin-transfer torque (STT), spin-orbit torque (SOT), all-optical switching, ultrafast magnetism, nanodevices, and magnetic memories.

The position is a 24-month full-time contract starting in September 2026 or sooner. The post is embedded in the SPIN team, a research environment known for nanomagnetism, magnetic heterostructures, ultrafast magnetization dynamics, and advanced nanotechnology facilities.

Eligibility: applicants must already hold a PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Nanophysics, Spintronics, or a closely related field. Preferred experience includes femtosecond laser experiments, magnetic tunnel junctions, nanofabrication, thin films, clean room processing, micromagnetic modelling, and data analysis. English proficiency is required; no French or Japanese is needed.

Application materials: CV, motivation letter, publication/research list if applicable, and the names of two former professors or supervisors for recommendation.

How to apply: email all documents to [email protected]. No specific deadline was mentioned, so applicants should apply as soon as possible.
