  • Scientific theme : Chemistry of materials or microelectronics

 

Mines Saint-Etienne (MSE), one of the graduate schools of Institut Mines Télécom, the #1 group of graduate schools of engineering and management in France under the supervision of the Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Digital Technology, is assigned missions of education, research and innovation, transfer to industry and scientific, technological and industrial culture.

MSE consists of 2,400 graduate and postgraduate students, 480 staff, a consolidated budget of €46M, three sites on the Saint-Etienne campus (Auvergne Rhone-Alpes region, Lyon Saint-Etienne metropolitan area), a campus in Gardanne (SUD region, Aix Marseille metropolitan area), a site in Lyon within the digital campus of Auvergne Rhone-Alpes Region, six research units, five teaching and research centres and one of the leading French science community centres (La Rotonde €1M budget and +40,000 visitors per year). The Times Higher Education World University Ranking ranked us for 2022 in the 251-300 range for Engineering and Technology.  Our work environment is characterised by high Faculty-to-Student, Staff-to-Faculty and PhD-to-Faculty ratios, as well as comprehensive state-of-the-art experimental and computational facilities for research, teaching and transfer to industry.

The Microelectronics Center of Provence (CMP) is located in Gardanne (Bouches-du-Rhône, 13). It is one of five training and research centers of MSE. It consists in four departments including the Flexible Electronics Department (FEL) in which the position of lecturer in embedded microelectronic systems is open. The FEL department is composed of 25 people, including 8 teacher-researchers, 1 engineer and 16 postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students.

Since 2005, the FEL department has been interested in research activities on hybrid electronic systems. Most of the work is carried out around communicating electronic systems fabricated on flexible substrates. We aimed at developing objects able to stay in contact with environment, having a certain energy autonomy, and capable of communicating with a wireless sensor network. This research thematic is directly related to the Internet of Things. At the technological level, research is carried out in the clean room of the Center in partnership with the Micropacks and IDFab technological platforms. The fields of application have impact in all sectors of society, in conjunction with sensor networks (medical patches for patient monitoring, abandoned sensors for the environment), advanced human-machine interfaces, etc.

The research thematic that are addressed have naturally led the FEL department to be interested in the relationship between structure and properties of materials as well as the role of interfaces in microelectronic devices. We have also acquired internationally recognized expertise in advanced processes for flexible and stretchable electronics thanks to several cutting-edge technologies. Our skills in materials, device production, and heterogeneous integration ensure a good balance between fundamental and applied research.

The junior professor chair is intended for researchers in the first part of their career, with strong potential for supervising and leading a research team, as well as the ability to participate in national, European or international projects. This recruitment system is part of the research programming law. The terms of this recruitment are taken pursuant to Decree No. 2021-1710 of December 17, 2021 relating to the junior professor chair contract.
