[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 X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy, 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.
