Description of the offer
The Sensors and Instrumentation for Measurement Laboratory (LCIM) is looking for an engineer-researcher in nuclear instrumentation and measurement.

The Udd@Orano project aims to develop new innovative technologies in the field of instrumentation for the measurement of ionizing radiation and the radiation protection of operators. Focused on key techniques and methods at the current state of the art, the developments envisaged as part of this project will prepare the ground for the digital instrumentation of tomorrow.

To carry out certain tasks, you will work in the field of nuclear instrumentation and measurement. The developments envisaged are related to the field of radiation measurement by sensors based on diamond and semiconductor (silicon for example).

Within the team working on diamond-based sensors, you will be required to:

· Study measurement systems using digital simulation with a view to their dimensioning and/or improvement.

· Participate in the creation and integration of prototypes as well as the analysis of data resulting from them.

· Characterize and validate these tools in laboratory conditions and/or on site under operational conditions.

The work will take place in close collaboration with the laboratory’s other themes (nuclear instrumentation, chemistry and materials for instrumentation), with other CEA laboratories as well as with the technical teams of the project partners (notably ORANO).

The promotion of the results obtained (participation in international conferences, writing of journal articles and filing of patents) will be an integral part of the position.

Candidate profile
You have a doctorate or training at bac+5 Master/Engineer level

You have :

-solid knowledge in radiation/matter interaction and in the field of nuclear measurement (measurements based on diamond or semiconductor sensors)

-experience in analysis and processing of data from measurements

-knowledge in programming, with a view to integrating and adjusting prototypes (a plus for your application)

-a taste for experimental measurements in order to characterize and validate systems

-knowledge in fluidic transport simulation (COMSOL type) (an asset for your application)

You will evolve in a highly multidisciplinary environment and in collaboration with external teams.

For this, scientific curiosity and a taste for teamwork are expected.

Written and oral communication skills are sought in both French and English.
