Stage M2 : Recherche en optique non linéaire appliquée à la caractérisation de dispositifs électroniques neuromorphiques – 6 mois

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential academic research institution in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Our client is seeking a Master 2 research intern to develop and implement advanced nonlinear optical characterization techniques for neuromorphic electronic devices.

In this 6-month internship, you will:

• Develop time-resolved second harmonic generation microscopy instrumentation to record spatiotemporal movement of charged species (ions and electrons/holes) in organic electrochemical transistors
• Fabricate organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) devices in a microelectronics cleanroom environment with technical support
• Perform in-situ and operando characterization of mixed ionic-electronic polymer conductors
• Map electronic mobilities within OECT channels using the developed nonlinear optics experiments
• Conduct electrical and electrochemical characterizations to establish key figures of merit
• Analyze data to establish engineering design rules for polymer materials used in neuromorphic circuits
• Contribute to foundational knowledge for organic electronics-based artificial intelligence applications

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• Currently enrolled in a Master 2 program or 3rd year engineering degree in Optical Techniques and Instrumentation
• Strong foundation in Physics, Materials Science, or Optoelectronics through academic training and/or professional experience
• Technical and scientific mastery of optics
• Proficiency with electronic instrumentation (sCMOS cameras, oscilloscopes, signal generators, delay generators, SMU)
• Experience with image analysis software and programming (Python preferred)
• English proficiency (reading and writing required; oral communication assessed during interview)
• Interest in continuing to a doctoral program following the internship (this is a research-track position)

Advantageous experience:

• Previous internships involving nonlinear optics and/or microscopy
• Scientific camera image analysis experience

Essential qualities:

• Aptitude for interdisciplinary work and cross-disciplinary collaboration
• Autonomy and initiative
• Interest in teamwork and ability to build research projects collaboratively
• Strong oral and written communication skills
