Adjoint au pilotage d’une plateforme de diagnostic optique labélisée CNRS H​/F

Job Title

Internship in Laser and Spectroscopy Diagnostics in Plas Mas (LaSPM)

The work environment will be the CNRS-labeled Laser and Spectroscopy diagnostics in Plas Mas (LaSPM) platform located at the Laboratory of Sciences of Processes and Materials (LSPM). The intern will actively participate in the rehabilitation and optimization of spectrometers, the implementation of camera visualization systems, and the use of pulsed lasers LIF (Laser-Induced Fluorescence) and TALIF (Two-photon Absorption Laser-Induced Fluorescence) to measure atomic densities in ionized gases (cold plasmas).

The missions, aligned with the Professional Activity Branch (BAP) C ("Engineering Sciences and Scientific Instrumentation"), cover:

• Design and optimization of scientific instruments: participation in the rehabilitation and optimization of optical spectrometers and detection systems, sizing of devices, elaboration of technical specifications and procedures, and writing of specifications.
• Development and implementation of laser diagnostics: involvement in research projects aimed at deploying cutting-edge laser diagnostics for the study of plasmas, including instrument qualification, testing, calibration, and writing of usage procedures.
• Project management and technical coordination: planning collaborations and organizing the working time on each infrastructure, analyzing specifications.
• Scientific collaboration and valorization: managing national and international collaborations, presenting and disseminating the laboratory's technological developments.
• Technical training and support: progressive immersion in the team with regular follow-up (weekly meetings, logbook).
• Data analysis and processing: carrying out the processing and analysis of experimental data, organizing preventive maintenance and troubleshooting interventions.

The intern must have a pronounced taste for optical assemblies and the desire to learn to make increasingly complex ones, show a marked interest in laser technologies and their applications, and possess basic knowledge of optics to fully integrate into the LaSPM platform activities. These activities focus on the study of non-equilibrium thermodynamic plasmas, combining passive (spectrometry) and active (laser-plasma interactions) diagnostic methods.

Practical experience in optical assembly (alignment, calibration, manipulation of optical components) will be a key asset, as the design and optimization of experimental devices will be at the heart of the project. The personal qualities expected are:

• rigor to ensure the traceability of results, the writing of technical reports, and the preparation of scientific presentations (conferences, publications)
• proactivity to quickly appropriate experimental protocols
• team spirit to collaborate with researchers, engineers, and technicians of the team and the platform
• scientific curiosity showing the intern's willingness to learn in a dynamic research environment
• aptitude to work in an international context.

The National Center for Scientific Research is a multidisciplinary public research organization under the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation. Its 10 scientific institutes cover all fields of knowledge in biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, humanities and social sciences, mathematics, ecology, information sciences, and earth sciences. The CNRS employs nearly 32,000 people, including more than 11,000 researchers working in 1,144 laboratories throughout the national territory.

The 17 regional delegations (DR) of the CNRS have a role in managing and supporting these research units, particularly in the field of Human Resources. For more information, you can consult the CNRS website: http://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)..
