MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship: Apply with IMT Atlantique and join us!

Thinking about your next career step and willing to boost your career? Looking to experience intersectoral, interdisciplinary and international research? Wishing to carry out your research in a place addressing industrial, environmental, societal and digital transitions as a priority challenge?

Then apply for a Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship with IMT Atlantique as your host institution!

The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) provide funding to promising postdoctoral researchers with a view to develop their academic and transferable skills and enhance their career prospects by moving and working abroad.

By applying with IMT Atlantique you give yourself a chance to join a technological university ranked among the top 500 universities in the world according to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University's 2026 ranking (top 301-400 for Computer Science, top 201-250 for Engineering, top 301-400 for Physical sciences, and the 124th in the 2026 THE Interdisciplinary Science ranking, and top 51-100 for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in the 2025 Shangaï ranking. IMT Atlantique is also awarded with the “Bienvenue en France” label, a recognition delivered by Campus France for our capacity to welcome and host international researchers in the best working conditions.

Topic open:

This Postdoc will centre on the electro-magnetic modelling, design and optimisation of novel photonic meta-surfaces. The aim is to take full advantage of the new industrial scale 2D and 3D nano-fabrication possibilities offered by the massively parallel-write multiphoton photoplotter now operational in the cleanrooms of the IMT Atlantique Optics Department (ARAGO platform). This new photoplotter, developed through a series of EU and French national projects (Phenomenon, FABulous, Nanoshape (https://fabulous3d.eu/) offers unique opportunities for the industrial scale fabrication of highly innovative 3D nanostructures. Nano-structure modelling/design will be performed using both commercial software packages (LightTrans, PlanOpSim, Lumerical etc.) and code/modules developed by the candidate. Meta-structures to be studied include propagation phase (effective refractive index), Pancharatnam-Berry phase and resonant regimes and those based on the candidates own experience/ideas to develop structures best adapted to the constraints of the newphotoplotter. Targetted applications include security holograms, 3D visualisation (AR/VR), particularly automotive, structured illumination and new fields brought by the successful candidate The work will be performed in close collaboration with Optics Department PhDs and researchers and with academic and industrial partners including Oberthur, Essilor-Luxxotica, Rochester University, Optics Institute Fraunhöfer IISB, Heidelburg Instruments GmbH.
