Experimental demonstration of the coupling between nanofluidic transport and electronic transport in 1D and 2D systems (M/F)

Role: Experimental demonstration of the coupling between nanofluidic transport and electronic transport in 1D and 2D systems (M/F)

Organization: CNRS - National Center for Scientific Research
Department: Laboratoire de physique de l'ENS
Location: Paris, France
Contract Type: Temporary, Full-time (35 hours/week)
Start Date: 1 Sep 2026
Funding: Horizon Europe - ERC

Role Overview:
The work will be carried out within the Micromegas team at the ENS Physics Laboratory, in a research environment specialising in nanofluidics, statistical physics and fluid dynamics. The PhD student will interact with researchers working on nanofluidics, interfacial phenomena and transport processes, and will have the opportunity to collaborate with theoretical groups in order to link experiments to measurable observables. This thesis focuses on the experimental study of interfacial couplings between fluid transport and electron transport within the confining solid. In particular, we will investigate 'flow tunnelling' effects induced by the transport of excitations through solids.

Requirements and Qualifications:
- Education Level: Master Degree or equivalent in Physics or Chemistry (including Computational chemistry)
- Research Experience: None required
- Languages: French (Basic level)
- Researcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1)

What They Offer:
- Position within a specialized research environment in nanofluidics, statistical physics, and fluid dynamics.
- Collaboration with researchers on nanofluidics, interfacial phenomena, and transport processes.
- Opportunity to collaborate with theoretical groups to link experiments to measurable observables.
- Funding through Horizon Europe - ERC.
