Postdoctoral Position in Metrology and Radioactivity Measurement M/F

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description These missions are part of the PEPR ORIGIN RADEX project (PI: Frédéric Girault). This project involves, in particular, measuring the radon source term in reference samples and conventional extraterrestrial samples, such as meteorites, as well as more valuable samples, such as certain samples returned by lunar missions. This will involve directly applying the measurement techniques developed in close collaboration with the CEA/LNHB (Benoit Sabot) and the IRAP (Pierre-Yves Meslin) in recent years, and leveraging the active collaboration with the MNHN and the French extraterrestrial sample curation program (Jean Duprat). The postdoctoral fellow's work will involve the direct application of techniques developed for characterizing radon emission from extraterrestrial samples to low-mass and low-radon-emitter samples under space conditions. These techniques include, in particular, gamma-ray spectrometry, radon emanation (liquid scintillation), and adsorption. The postdoctoral fellow will have access to the team's laboratory and will collaborate with teams from the CEA/LNHB, IRAP, and MNHN. The institut de physique du globe de Paris :.
