About this position
GATOR is a postdoctoral project hosted by the SIAME Laboratory at the University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour, in collaboration with CEA Gramat. The work focuses on the development of a generator based on nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) for the emission of high-power microwaves and intense electromagnetic fields.
The successful postdoctoral researcher will contribute to both the theoretical and experimental development of the prototype. On the theory side, the project involves studying how NLTLs operate, building more advanced models, and running simulations that capture the physical phenomena observed experimentally. The aim is to improve understanding of the generator behavior and support the design and optimization process.
Experimentally, the postdoc will work on a high-voltage test bench and help validate the theoretical and simulation results. The role also includes the design, fabrication, and assembly of components using laboratory resources, followed by measurement acquisition, data recording, and analysis. The experimental program is centered on fast electrical transients and high-voltage electromagnetic phenomena.
The position is based in the High-Voltage Processes (PHT) team of SIAME in Pau. The host institutions combine academic research expertise in engineering sciences with the applied high-field electromagnetics context of CEA Gramat, creating a research environment that links modeling, materials, and prototype development.

What's required
PhD or equivalent in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Electrotechnics, Electronics, or a related field. Applicants should have strong knowledge of electrical engineering, electrotechnics, and electronics, with interest in transient electromagnetic phenomena and high-voltage systems. Experimental skills are required, including use of oscilloscopes, power supplies, and vector network analyzers (VNAs). Experience in numerical simulation and modeling is expected, especially with CST Studio Suite, PSpice, MATLAB, and CATIA. Candidates must have a good command of both French and English, written and spoken, and be able to work independently, with rigor and strong teamwork skills.
