Maxime DARNON (Laboratoire Hubert Curien) is seeking an Optics/Photonics engineer for the project MetaBio

Job description:

The recruited engineer will be responsible for carrying out the MetaBio project, funded by the Graduate School Manutech-SLEIGHT. After reviewing the state of the art and assessing the local micro/nanofabrication and characterization capabilities, the engineer will propose a metasurface design that meets the project’s goals and can be fabricated within the existing infrastructure. They will then implement the appropriate fabrication methods to produce a demonstrator. The demonstrator will be characterized and then used with the microscopes available at Sainbiose and the Hubert Curien Laboratory to image living cells. These same cells will also be observed using a phase contrast microscope at the Hubert Curien Laboratory to benchmark the demonstrator's performance. Alongside these technical aspects, the engineer will coordinate communication between project partners and ensure active participation and knowledge-sharing within the consortium. Project results may lead to intellectual property filings, scientific publications, and conference presentations, all of which the engineer will be involved in.
