Type: Onsite

Employment: Entry

Description:

Join Mines Saint-Étienne is engage in an institution where science and innovation build a more sustainable future. A school of excellence where everyone has the opportunity to reveal their full potential and contribute to meeting the challenges of tomorrow.

Ranked among the best engineering schools in France and recognized worldwide, our school, a member of the Institut Mines-Télécom, trains the talents of tomorrow while actively contributing to meeting the major industrial and digital challenges and environmental. With us, you join a community of 500 employees, 2,500 students, and participate in an ambitious project: combining academic excellence, cutting-edge research and positive societal impact.

The Institut Mines-Télécom brings together major French schools around major industrial, digital, energy and ecological challenges. With its 8 public Grandes Écoles and 2 subsidiary schools, it is the first public institute dedicated to engineers and managers. Together, we imagine and build a sustainable future, by training the actors who will shape tomorrow's transitions. what we expect from you:

As a postdoctoral fellow, you are at the heart of our research and innovation missions assigned to the Center Microelectronique de Provence, Bioelectronics department. Within this service you contribute to interdisciplinary research in the service of scientific and societal innovation.

Entity:

The Bioelectronics Department of the Microelectronics Center of Provence develops innovative technologies at the interface between electronics, materials and life sciences.
Located in Gardanne, in the heart of the Aix-Marseille region, it has a cutting-edge research environment and a fully equipped clean room.
Its teams operate in an international and interdisciplinary context, in close collaboration with academic and clinical partners.

Strategic recruitment objective:

Strengthen the research capabilities of the Bioelectronics Department with a postdoctoral fellow capable of developing a new generation of flexible organic optical sensors for imaging calcium.
This recruitment will contribute to advancing a technology with high potential at the interface between microelectronics, bioelectronics and neuroscience.

Main missions:

o You develop and micro-fabricate miniaturized flexible organic photodetectors (OPDs) intended for the production of high-resolution multipixel matrices.

o   You develop flexible reading electronics based on field effect transistors (FET), allowing the amplification and measurement of the very weak photocurrents generated by the OPDs.

o   You study the physical limits linked to the miniaturization of photodetectors and establish the design rules by analyzing in particular the dark current, noise, detectivity and dynamic range.

o   You ensure the electrical and optical characterization of the platform OPD–FET under illumination conditions representative of calcium imaging.

o   You analyze the performance of the devices in order to optimize their integration into high-density flexible matrices intended for neuronal imaging.
