A tenure track position is open for application at the “Groupe de Physique des Matériaux – GPM” at the University of Rouen Normandy. This position is a “Chaire Professeur Junior” with the opportunity to be hired as full professor in a period of 4 to 6 years.
The GPM (Groupe de Physique des Matériaux) with a staff of 150 people is one of the largest laboratories of the University of Rouen Normandy. GPM was among pioneers for the development of atom probe tomography and our research activities are nowadays dedicated to the investigation of materials down to atomic scale with a special emphasis on the relationships between structures and properties, both with experimental and modelling approaches. Research fields include scientific instrumentation, metallic alloys, semi-conductors, functional materials, polymers and composite materials, nanomaterials. Scientists in the lab carry out their research on a state of art instrumental platform with atom probes, FIB-SEM, TEM, XRD, X-ray tomography…
Candidates are expected to propose a project in the field of physics of materials with the application of high-resolution microscopy (tomographic atom probe, electron microscopy) and/or numerical modeling approaches. A focus is expected on the development of innovative approaches for the understanding of the physical mechanisms operating at the atomic scale and controlling the properties of materials. This could include the development of correlative or in-situ methodologies to study the dynamics of systems. The project should be innovative and preferably address issues related to technological transitions of the future (lighter structures, photovoltaics, durability of materials, recycling, hydrogen, rare-earth magnets, semiconductors, etc.).
The closing date for applications is 15 July 2025.
Interviews are expected to be held in Rouen beginning of September 2025.
