[High-pressure-crystallography] PhD position at the ESRF on dynamic compression

[Raffaella TORCHIO]

Dear colleagues,

I'm advertising a PhD position at the European Synchrotron (ESRF),  on 
properties of high Z metals under laser shock compression up to the TPa 
range probed by time resolved XAS, for application in Inertial 
Confinement Fusion research.

The successful candidate  will join ID24’s and BM23’s team at the ESRF, 
two beamlines dedicated to X-ray Absorption (XAS) coupled to static and 
dynamic extreme conditions. In particular, this PhD project is related 
to the development of the new High Power Laser Facility (HPLF-I) at the 
ESRF that couples a 100J nsec laser to the energy dispersive XAS 
beamline ID24, and it is in collaboration with First Light Fusion 
company (UK) and LULI-Ecole Polytechnique laboratory, within the 
InnovaXN programme.

The appointment is for 3 years. The candidate should have a degree 
allowing enrollment for a PhD (such as MSc, Master 2 de Recherche, 
Laurea or equivalent) in physics or materials science. A background in 
experimentation is desirable, a background in extreme conditions and/or 
lasers and optics and/or XAS would be an advantage. In compliance with 
the Marie Sklodowska-Curie mobility rule, the candidates may not have 
resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in 
France for more than twelve months in the three years immediately before 
the date of recruitment.

The successful candidate will be enrolled in the doctoral school of 
Ecole Polytechnique, Université Paris‐Saclay, France and based full-time 
at the ESRF (Grenoble, France), other than a 3-months secondment at 
Company First Light Fusion in Oxford (UK). Additional visits totaling no 
more than 3 months may be made to the Ecole Polytechnique  (LULI 
laboratory) when needed. Furthermore, a varied pedagogical training 
programme will be offered to the successful candidate throughout the 
3-year PhD project.

The application deadline is 31/03/2021. Starting date is September 2021.
