Post-doc: Thin film combinatorial studies of hard magnetic materials (M/F)

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The postdoctoral researcher will work as part of a team that develops and implements a high-throughput combinatorial approach to develop magnetic materials (hard magnets, magnetocaloric materials…) with reduced to no critical elements. They will study the impact of element substitution and processing parameters on the functional properties of particular hard magnetic material systems. - Sputtering of compositionally graded thin films. - Structural and magnetic characterization. - Data analysis using both conventional and machine learning approaches. - Supervision of MSc students. The candidate will work on the high throughput fabrication and characterization of hard magnetic materials in thin film form. The project is part of a larger effort around data driven development of functional magnetic materials within the Micro and Nano Magnetism team at Institut NEEL. Institut NÉEL is a CNRS unit (UPR 2940) under agreement with the University Grenoble Alpes. The laboratory is related to the CNRS Physique. It is located in Grenoble, in the heart of a unique scientific, industrial and cultural environment. It is one of the largest French national research institutes for fundamental research in condensed matter physics enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering and biology. It consists of 450 employees, including 175 researchers. CNRS is a public,
