Job offer - Junior Professorship on the study of CMB using KIDS detectors (KIDS4CMB)
In February 2024, the CNRS will be announcing the opening of a Junior Professorship (CPJ) to study CMB using KIDS detector technology (acronym KIDS4CMB). The successful candidate will be affiliated with one of the following three Grenoble laboratories : Néel Insitute, LPSC, IPAG, which have been collaborating for many years on this subject with IRAM within the GIS-KIDS and LabEx FOCUS. Since the 1980s, this collaboration has been developing cutting-edge instruments for astrophysics and cosmology, from laboratory design to final data processing, including laboratory characterization, on-site integration and commissioning. This has resulted in major contributions to the construction and scientific exploitation of major experiments in cosmology, such as Archeops and Planck. Since 2009, these teams has been pioneers and leaders in the use of new ultra-low-temperature superconducting Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) for ground-based astronomy at millimeter wavelengths. They have built, deployed and operated several KID-based instruments : imagers such as NIKA and NIKA2, and spectroscopy instruments such as KISS and CONCERTO.
