Job Function: Healthcare (Clinical, Medical, Wellness)
Seniority: Graduate level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Develop adaptive infrared surfaces based on reconfigurable nickelate/PMN‑PT heterostructures.
  • •Optimize the mechanical coupling between PMN‑PT and active nickelate layers to maximize reversible shifts of the transition temperature under electric field.
  • •Investigate the role of interfaces and buffer layers in enabling effective transition modulation.
  • •Explore integration of PMN‑PT thin films to address limitations of single-crystal substrates and prepare future spatially reconfigurable devices.
  • •Advance fabrication scale-up using pulsed laser deposition as an optimization platform before transitioning to larger-area compatible processes.

Key Requirements

  • •Master’s-level engineering degree (Bac+5) or equivalent in physics, with experience in thin-film growth/epitaxy.
  • •Materials science and knowledge of metal–insulator transition physics.
  • •Optical and infrared characterization experience.
  • •Experience with piezoelectric materials and electromechanical coupling.
  • •Fluent English (C1 expected), with scientific rigor, experimental autonomy, and strong analysis/synthesis and teamwork.
