Post-doc position on Thermoelectric oxides

Subject : Synthesis and Characterization of new thermoelectric oxides

In the laboratory CRISMAT, an intense research program is dedicated to the investigation of the thermoelectric properties of different families of oxides. We are currently looking for one post-doctoral fellow, for one year. The applicant will be in charge of the synthesis of these oxides by standard solid state chemistry, their structural characterization by X-Ray diffraction, and the measurements of their transport properties (resistivity, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient). This work is closely connected to an industrial contract.

Applicant profile :
The candidate should be an expert in solid state chemistry, ceramic growth by standard solid state reaction, and characterization by X-Ray diffraction. A good experience with transport measurements is desirable.

Application form :
The candidates should send their CV to Prof. Bernard Raveau (bernard.raveau [=at=] ensicaen [dot] fr). The position is already open and the applicant should start as soon as possible.
