Postdoc Opportunities in Experimental Physics in France

This postdoctoral project explores the stochastic thermodynamics of micro-mechanical resonators coupled to a thermal bath and an external control potential, such as an electrostatic force. The research is aimed at quantifying energy exchanges, understanding how the resonator temperature evolves, and interpreting the role of information when the system is operated under feedback. The work combines theory and experiment. On the experimental side, the researcher will optimize a real-time feedback s...

The postdoctoral project is based at the IJCLab in Orsay within the nuclear physics team “Spectroscopie, désintégration et fission” , under CNRS supervision and in collaboration with teams from IPHC, GANIL, and CEA-Saclay. The researcher will contribute to the development and commissioning of the new SHEXI detector system for SIRIUS , a multidector setup designed to improve the detection efficiency of L-type X rays and help identify the atomic numbers of recently discovered superheavy elements. ...
