Postdoc/Fixed term: Spintronic innovations for magnetic memory and microwave functionalities

Project: SPINTEC offers several 24-month positions for postdoctoral researchers or research engineers, funded by the EU and French National Research Agency ANR. The projects focus on spintronic innovations for a sustainable digital technology, emphasizing advanced magnetic memory and spintronics-based radiofrequency technologies. Work will occur within the 'MRAM' and 'RF-spintronics' teams, in collaboration with 'Nanofabrication' and 'Theory and Simulation' teams. Research: The candidate will autonomously manage the nanofabrication and electrical characterization of spintronic devices, focusing on their co-integration with CMOS circuits. This includes fabricating advanced magnetic tunnel junctions in a spin transfer torque (STT) configuration using the upstream technology platform (PTA) and other cleanroom resources. The candidate will conduct both basic and advanced electrical characterization of magnetoresistance in static, pulsed, or dynamic setups to assess memory functionalities (magnetization switching) and RF functionalities (microwave signal generation, detection, and manipulation) related to magnetic tunnel junction composition and nanofabrication steps. The candidate should bring: \Basic understanding of spintronics, magnetization dynamics, and magnetic tunnel junctions; \Basic knowledge of magneto-resistance or high-frequency measurement techniques (spectrum and network analyzers); \Familiarity with nanofabrication techniques; \Basic understanding of material structural properties and characterization; \Ability to collaborate with research teams, document processes and results, and present them clearly in group meetings.
