One of the vocations of theInstitut des Sciences Moléculaires d’Orsay is the experimental and theoretical study of processes resulting from the interaction of sources with molecular species. For these purposes, the Institute has instrumentation enabling the synthesis and detection of various molecular species. The experimental techniques used are: fluorescence collection, mass spectrometry, photoelectron spectroscopy, STM microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and various non-linear optical techniques.
Implementing these instruments requires a wide range of specialist skills, including laser optics, spectroscopy, cryogenics, vacuum techniques, detection and chemistry. These skills are brought together in a 10-strong support team organised into a “Scientific Instrumentation” department.
Responsibilities:
Project development and studies in the fields of optics, chemistry, vacuum/cryogenics and measurement.
Technical assistance to experimental teams in the above-mentioned fields.
Management of the Institute’s laser equipment.
Preparing purchasing dossiers.
Advice on orders and centralisation.
Management of dyes and alcohols.
