Research Scientist on Ferroelectric spintronics

We are looking for candidates to lead the ferroelectric spintronics activity within SPINTEC. We demonstrated recently that spin-charge interconversion can be sign-controlled via spin-orbit coupling in a non-volatile manner, by a ferroelectric state. This opens up new programmable functionalities, such as the FESO (Ferro Electric Spin Orbit) technology, enabling the non-destructive reading of a ferroelectric state for logic and AI applications. The candidate is expected to lead cutting-edge and innovative research activities in this field, and develop partnerships and collaborations at French and European levels. The candidate will benefit from existing state-of-the art facilities (materials, clean rooms, characterization), internal collaborations, and will contribute to the creation of a joint laboratory with a new start-up on this subject. The candidate must hold a PhD and have research experience in several of the following fields: spintronics, ferroelectric materials, materials science, magneto-transport, nanofabrication. International experience is a definite advantage.
