[Autre] Independent Investigator Fellowship Program à National Institute of Biological Science, Beijing

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 17:53:09 +0200

Independent Investigator Fellowship Program

National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing (NIBS)

The National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing (NIBS) also known as the Tsinghua Institute of Multidisciplinary Biomedical Research (TIMBR) within Tsinghua University.

The National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing (NIBS) invites applications from outstanding early-career scientists for the Independent Investigator Fellowship Program.

A Different Path to Scientific Independence

Many of the most transformative discoveries in biology were made by scientists at an early stage of their careers, when they were free to pursue bold ideas and challenge established paradigms. Yet in today's biomedical research ecosystem, the path to independence has become increasingly prolonged. Talented young scientists often spend many years in postdoctoral positions before having the opportunity to establish their own research programs.

NIBS believes that exceptional scientists should have the opportunity to pursue independence earlier.

The Independent Investigator Fellowship Program was established to accelerate the transition from doctoral training to scientific leadership. Rather than serving as another postdoctoral position, this program provides outstanding young scientists with the resources, mentorship, and intellectual freedom necessary to develop their own research vision and establish an independent scientific identity.

Our goal is to identify future leaders in biomedical research and provide them with the opportunity to begin leading independent research programs at an earlier stage of their careers.

Eligibility

Applicants should have received their Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral degree within the past three years and should demonstrate exceptional scientific achievement, creativity, and potential for independent research leadership.

Applicants from all areas of modern biomedical research are encouraged to apply.

Fellowship Support

Successful fellows will receive:

Three years of internationally competitive salary and research support
Flexible funding of RMB 1.5 million per year, to be used at the fellow's discretion in support of their independent research program
Access to 16 state-of-the-art technology core facilities spanning transgenic animal resources, proteomics, imaging, biophysics, chemical biology, bioengineering, bioinformatics, AI-enabled research capabilities, and other advanced biomedical research technologies
Mentorship from senior faculty members selected by the fellow
Full scientific independence and ownership of their research accomplishments

Subsidized housing
Comprehensive administrative and operational support for establishing and managing an independent research program

An Environment Designed for Discovery

NIBS provides a uniquely supportive environment for young investigators. Our centralized research infrastructure allows fellows to pursue ambitious scientific questions without first building extensive technical capabilities. Fellows are encouraged to tackle important and challenging problems, develop original research directions, and establish collaborations across disciplines.

Faculty mentors are committed to helping fellows succeed while fully respecting their scientific independence. Fellows will receive guidance, advice, and access to institutional resources while retaining ownership of their ideas, discoveries, publications, and scientific achievements.

Importantly, the fellowship is not intended as an extension of postdoctoral training. Fellows are expected to pursue original research directions and will be evaluated as independent investigators rather than as trainees.

The program is designed as an accelerated pathway for exceptional young scientists to establish themselves as independent investigators and future leaders of the biomedical research community.

Application Materials

Applicants should submit:

Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Research Proposal
Three Letters of Reference

Applications will be evaluated based on scientific accomplishment, originality, creativity, and potential for future leadership in biomedical research.

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 17:53:09 +0200

Context & Job description

Thesis subject: Impact of mutations in the MT-CO1, MT-CO2 and MT-CO3 genes on the structure of mitochondrial Complex IV: role in chemoresistance of acute myeloid leukaemia

You will join the MXIS group at the ESRF and the Institute for Advanced Biosciences at UGA (iab-grenoble.fr) to study how mutations in the mitochondrial genes MT-CO1, MT-CO2 and MT-CO3 contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction and chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukaemia.

At the ESRF, the project will focus on the structural characterisation of Complex IV and associated respiratory assemblies from leukemic mitochondria. SAXS and cryo-EM will be used to compare mutated and non-mutated systems, with particular attention to assembly state, heme/cofactor environments and supercomplex organisation.

At the IAB, the project will examine the transcriptomic and functional impact of these mutations, before and after cytarabine treatment. RNA-seq and mitochondrial phenotyping will assess pathways linked to heme/iron metabolism, OXPHOS, redox stress, apoptosis and ferroptosis.

By integrating these structural, transcriptomic and functional data, the ESRF–IAB collaboration will build a mechanistic model linking MT-CO-driven Complex IV remodelling to altered mitochondrial homeostasis and reduced cytarabine sensitivity. Expected outcomes include optimised workflows for structural studies of leukemic mitochondrial assemblies, curated multi-modal datasets and new insights into AML chemoresistance.

Further information may be obtained from J. Mondet (JMondet@chu-grenoble.fr) or M. Soler-Lopez (solerlop@esrf.fr).

[Contrat doctoral] Modélisation des mécanismes de corrosion de l’acier inoxydable 316L sous radiolyse dans les réacteurs à eau pressurisée à Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis de Lyon

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le contexte de la compréhension des mécanismes de vieillissement des matériaux métalliques utilisés dans les réacteurs nucléaires à eau pressurisée (REP). Plus précisément, elle vise à modéliser les mécanismes de corrosion affectant l’acier inoxydable 316L, employé comme matériau de structure dans ces installations. En fonctionnement, l’environnement chimique du circuit primaire des REP est modifié par l’irradiation continue de l’eau, qui induit une radiolyse générant des espèces hautement réactives interagissant avec les surfaces métalliques, altérant les couches passives et accélérant les processus de corrosion.

Le travail du doctorant retenu consistera en la simulation des phénomènes physiques mis en jeu à l’interface eau / acier lors de la radiolyse de l’eau avec une méthodologie en deux étapes. La première méthode consiste en des simulations Monte Carlo avec les codes GEANT4-DNA & GATE. Le code GEANT4 permet de simuler l’irradiation d’un système, modélisé à partir des plans de la cellule d’irradiation utilisée actuellement dans la thèse de B. Lathuillière (doctorant MATICE 2024-2027). GEANT4-DNA et GATE, spécifiques aux études de radiolyse, permettent de déterminer les espèces créées et leurs énergies par la radiolyse de l’eau (électrons aqueux, photons, H•, H₂O₂, …) dans des conditions prédéfinies d’irradiation (objectifs de la première année de thèse). L’épaisseur de la couche passive doit être déterminée de manière fine pour connaître notamment le parcours des espèces radiolytiques. Pour cela, le code LAMMPS et des potentiels empiriques de type REAXFF seront utilisés de manière similaire aux travaux de V. Jameborzogi (voir réf. ci-dessous) pour des calculs de dynamique moléculaire (DM) dans des conditions d’intérêt (température, pH, …) par rapport aux expériences menées (objectifs de la deuxième année de thèse). Ces résultats seront comparés aux résultats expérimentaux pour proposer un (ou plusieurs) mécanisme(s) de la corrosion des aciers par radiolyse (objectifs de la troisième année de thèse).

Title : Improving the durability of open porous asphalt pavements in urban areas Several WP exist with many tests about the mechanical behaviour, permeability tests and clogging tests. WP2 has two main objectives, i. e. (i.) to quantify the susceptibility of PA pavements to damage related to clogging, and (ii.) to identify the key factors of influence for clogging. For this purpose, numerical analysis is used based on the binder and mixture parameters derived in WP1. Multiphysical models are developed to reproduce the mechanical behavior of PA pavements under clogging (Task 2.1) and subsequently to freeze-thaw cycles (Task 2.2). Simulations of 2D and 3D samples under homogeneous conditions are adopted. Task 2.1 addresses the impact of clogging on PA layer permeability, using Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) for granular material structure and sediments, and the simulation of water flow through PA layers using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The solid and fluid equations are coupled in order to define permeability of PA layers. One fundamental goal of Task 2.1 is to quantitatively reproduce the evolution of permeability as a function of solid injection during the clogging tests. This objective relies on various pieces of information provided by multiple experiments. Measurements of porosity, along with CT scan assessments of microstructure (conducted in WP1 and WP2), yield a realistic description of the voids. This information is used to represent DEM samples of the PA mixture. Subsequent measurements after clogging tests enable the verification of numerical model results concerning the distribution of sediments within the porous medium. Developing a robust model for permeability based on porosity and associated sediment mass balance facilitates the extrapolation of results beyond the project's experiments. This allows the analysis of PA materials with different porosities, water flow velocities, and solid concentrations. The derivation of general and simplified equations related to measurable system quantities (porosity, permeability, granulometry, fluid flow, solid concentration, etc.) is a crucial tool for the design of PA pavements. A second goal of Task 2.1 is to create a representative clogged microstructure of PA pavements for use in Task 2.2.

[Contrat doctoral] Revêtements de polyuréthane à toxicité réduite : influence de la structure chimique des formulations sur les propriétés fonctionnelles et de vieillissement à Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Contexte :

Ce travail de doctorat s’effectuera dans la cadre d’un projet collaboratif (I-Démo) qui a débuté en 2026. Ce projet regroupe 4 entreprises et 2 laboratoires de l’université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 : Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères (IMP, http://www.imp-umr5223.fr) et le Laboratoire Interuniversitaire de Biologie de la Motricité (LIBM). Il a pour ambition le développement de nouveaux sols à base de polymères dont la toxicité des précurseurs et la durabilité de ce type de sols devra aussi être améliorée.

Les travaux consisteront à étudier des formulations polyuréthane dont les précurseurs sont moins toxiques et/ou biosourcés afin de réduire le risque pour les travailleurs et les utilisateurs. Ces matériaux devront être aussi perméables à l’eau pluviale. De ce fait, ces formulations seront étudiées par une approche multiéchelle afin d’établir la relation entre leur structure chimique et de réseau et leurs propriétés ultimes, ainsi que leur résistance au vieillissement thermique, hygrométrique et mécanique.

Sujet et travaux de thèse :

À l’IMP, la personne en charge de ce sujet de thèse se consacrera particulièrement aux revêtements PU destinés à des terrains en extérieur (parcs et terrains). Ces revêtements sont des assemblages composés d’une formulation PU avec des particules élastomères qui donnent un caractère amortissant. Les travaux de thèse viseront à :

-Relier la formulation et la morphologie de ces matériaux à leur comportement thermomécanique, viscoélastique, et amortissant.

-Analyser l’évolution de la morphologie et du comportement au cours du temps sous contraintes thermiques, hygrométriques et mécaniques.

-Corréler ces caractérisations aux performances des revêtements de sol en conditions d’usage, en particulier, à leur capacité à diminuer les risques de blessures.

-Modéliser et prédire le comportement du revêtement sur la base des caractérisations individuelles de chaque matériau.

[Contrat doctoral] Spéciation et devenir de l’OBT dans les écosystèmes terrestres : approche intégrée par fractionnement géochimique, FTMS, scintillation liquide et modélisation radiol à CEA

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Contexte :

Le tritium, isotope radioactif de l’hydrogène est largement présent dans l’environnent tant dans l’atmosphère que dans l’hydrosphère, sous forme principalement d’eau tritiée (HTO). En raison de sa similitude chimique avec l’hydrogène stable, il participe aux grands cycles biogéochimiques et interagit étroitement avec les organismes vivants. A travers des processus métaboliques fondamentaux, tels que l’hydratation et la photosynthèse, le tritium peut être incorporé dans la matière organique, conduisant à la formation de tritium organiquement lié (TOL ou OBT pour Organically Bound Tritium).

Contrairement au tritium sous forme libre, caractérisé par une dynamique rapide d’échange avec l’eau corporelle, le TOL présente une rétention plus prolongée dans les tissus biologiques. Cette spécificité confère au TOL des propriétés radiobiologiques particulières, notamment un potentiel d’exposition interne accru lié à sa demi-vie biologique plus longue et à son incorporation dans des composés organiques stables. Par conséquent, le TOL est désormais considéré comme un paramètre clé dans l’évaluation de l’impact radiologique associé aux rejets de tritium issus des installations nucléaires.

Dans ce contexte, la caractérisation du TOL dans l’environnement constitue un enjeu scientifique et méthodologique majeur. Le choix du compartiment environnemental étudié — qu’il s’agisse des sols, des végétaux ou des sédiments — apparaît déterminant, dans la mesure où chaque matrice présente des capacités distinctes d’incorporation, de transformation et de rétention du tritium. La distinction entre bioaccumulateurs et bio-indicateurs, ainsi que les processus écophysiologiques qui leur sont associés, influencent directement les concentrations mesurées et leur représentativité. Cette variabilité, encore difficile à quantifier de manière robuste, introduit des incertitudes significatives dans l’interprétation des données et, par conséquent, dans l’évaluation globale de l’impact environnemental du tritium. Dans cette perspective, il est essentiel de mieux comprendre les mécanismes gouvernant la formation et la distribution du TOL dans les différents compartiments de l’environnement, afin d’améliorer la pertinence des approches de surveillance et de renforcer la fiabilité des évaluations radiologiques.

Les activités industrielles et nucléaires, historiques ou futures notamment dans les domaines de la gestion des déchets radioactifs et de la fusion nucléaire, , soulèvent des enjeux majeurs en matière de radioprotection et d’évaluation des risques environnementaux. Parmi les radionucléides d’intérêt, le tritium organiquement lié (TOL) occupe une place particulière en raison de sa persistance dans les écosystèmes et de son potentiel de transfert au sein des réseaux trophiques.

Malgré les avancées récentes, les mécanismes gouvernant l’incorporation du tritium dans la matière organique et sa répartition entre les différentes fractions organiques demeurent encore imparfaitement compris. Cette méconnaissance constitue une limite importante à la prédiction des comportements écotoxicologiques et des doses associées à l’exposition interne, en particulier pour le biota et les compartiments environnementaux complexes.

Dans ce contexte, ce projet de recherche propose une approche intégrée visant à améliorer la compréhension de ces processus. Celle-ci repose sur la combinaison du fractionnement géochimique de la matière organique, de l’analyse moléculaire à très haute résolution par spectrométrie de masse Orbitrap, et de la modélisation des transferts environnementaux du tritium. L’objectif vise à réduire les incertitudes associées à la dynamique du Tritium organiquement lié (TOL) et à renforcer la robustesse des évaluations de risques radiologique.

Objectifs de la thèse :

Le tritium est l’un des radionucléides les plus rejetés dans l’atmosphère et contribue de manière significative à la dose annuelle reçue par les populations locales, principalement via l’ingestion de produits alimentaires issus de la production locale. Dans ce contexte, ce projet de recherche vise à étudier et évaluer les niveaux d’activité du tritium organiquement lié (TOL) dans les compartiments environnementaux, afin de :

Evaluer l’impact radiologique associé aux activités passées, notamment en lien avec les rejets historiques de tritium.

Identifier les compositions moléculaires associées au tritium organiquement lié (OBT) par spectrométrie de masse ultra-haute résolution (Orbitrap), en ciblant les principales familles de composés organiques, notamment les lipides, les protéines et les substances humiques.
Corréler les profils moléculaires obtenus avec les activités mesurées afin d’identifier les fractions organiques jouant un rôle de réservoirs ou de vecteurs de transfert du tritium organiquement lié(TOL).

3. Objectif modélisation : Développer et appliquer des approches de modélisation permettant de prédire les impacts radiologiques et éco-toxicologiques associés au tritium organiquement lié (TOL) Développer un modèle de transfert environnemental intégrant :

Les données de spéciation moléculaire (Orbitrap).

[Contrat doctoral] Décontamination du lait de vache par plasma à Laboratoire DPHE

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

PROFIL DU POSTE (Contexte, description du projet et activités principales)
La contamination microbiologique représente un enjeu central pour l’industrie laitière en raison de la forte valeur nutritive des produits laitiers, qui en fait un milieu particulièrement favorable au développement de bactéries, levures et moisissures. Les sources de contamination sont multiples et interviennent à toutes les étapes de la chaîne. Dans ce contexte, la maîtrise de la contamination via des stratégies de décontamination efficaces et adaptées à chaque matrice telle que le lait est un impératif majeur pour l’industrie laitière moderne.

Pour les matrices alimentaires, les méthodes de décontamination diffèrent selon la nature du produit. La pasteurisation constitue la méthode de référence pour le lait. Le procédé HTST (High Temperature Short Time) consiste à chauffer le lait à 72 °C pendant au moins 15 secondes, ce qui élimine efficacement les pathogènes tout en préservant partiellement les qualités organoleptiques du lait. Pour une stérilisation plus poussée, le traitement UHT (Ultra High Temperature) expose le lait à des températures supérieures à 135 °C pendant 3-4 secondes. Ces traitements thermiques présentent néanmoins des inconvénients majeurs : dénaturation des protéines, perte d'arômes volatils, dégradation des vitamines thermosensibles (vitamine C, B12), réactions de Maillard entraînant un brunissement non enzymatique, et une modification du point de congélation.

Les limites des méthodes conventionnelles de décontamination ont conduit à un intérêt croissant pour des procédés non thermiques plus respectueux des matrices laitières et de l’environnement, tout en garantissant un haut niveau de sécurité microbiologique. Parmi ces technologies émergentes, les plasmas froids à pression atmosphérique apparaissent comme une alternative prometteuse aux traitements thermiques et chimiques, en permettant une inactivation microbienne efficace à basse température sans ajout direct de réactifs chimiques. Plusieurs travaux montrent que les plasmas froids peuvent être utilisés pour la décontamination du lait, ouvrant la voie à une approche intégrée de maîtrise de la contamination dans les ateliers laitiers.

Cette thèse a pour objectif d’évaluer le potentiel du plasma pour décontaminer le lait destiné à la production de produits laitiers (lait de transformation). Un lait artificiel standardisé servira d’abord de matrice modèle pour optimiser les paramètres de traitement (type de décharge, tension, gaz, temps d’exposition). Ces conditions optimales seront ensuite affinées puis validées sur du lait écrémé et du lait entier. Le défi est d’établir des conditions de traitement permettant une inactivation bactérienne sans modifier significativement les propriétés fonctionnelles, sensorielles et nutritionnelles du lait. Les travaux de thèse ont été décomposés en 3 lots.

L’objectif du lot 1 est d’identifier la source plasma la plus adaptée au traitement du lait en se basant sur l’efficacité de décontamination des systèmes plasma testés et leur capacité à préserver les propriétés physico-chimiques du lait. Les caractérisations seront basées sur des diagnostics électriques et optiques (spectromètre, camera ICCD). Les tâches associées sont les suivantes : caractérisations expérimentales de prototypes plasma pour le traitement du lait ; estimation de la puissance consommée ; identification des espèces réactives produites en phase gazeuse ; visualisation de la dynamique de décharge plasma (homogénéité, stabilité) ; validation croisée efficacité microbiologique/qualité.

L’objectif du lot 2 est de démontrer l’efficacité biocide du plasma sur le lait et de contribuer à la phase d’optimisation du lot 1. Les tâches associées sont les suivantes : formulation et validation du lait modèle (composition chimique, stabilité) ; préparation des inocula standardisés (pathogènes et flores d'altération) / Mise au point du protocole de traitement plasma sur lait modèle ; analyse des courbes d'inactivation pour chaque microorganisme testé sous forme planctonique et sessile dans un milieu de référence et dans un lait modèle ; sélection des paramètres optimaux du plasma pour progression vers un lait réel.

L’objectif du lot 3 est d’évaluer certains effets secondaires du traitement par plasma sur différents laits (modèle, écrémé, entier). Les analyses du lait traité par plasma permettront d’évaluer l’impact du traitement sur ses principales propriétés physico-chimiques : la température, le pH et la conductivité électrique. Ces mesures permettront de suivre certaines modifications potentielles liées à la formation de RONS dans le liquide et de corréler les paramètres plasma avec la préservation de la matrice laitière. Les taches associées concernent l’évaluation des modifications physico-chimiques du lait et des propriétés fonctionnelles (fermentescibilité, capacité de coagulation).

Les retombées attendues de ces travaux de recherche sont les suivantes :

Identification d’au moins une source plasma pour la décontamination du lait modèle, écrémé et entier
Validation de l’efficacité de décontamination sur des pathogènes prioritaires sans altération significative des propriétés intrinsèques du lait
Caractérisation des modifications induites sur les lipides, protéines et composés volatils du lait traité
Définition d’une fenêtre opératoire optimale alliant efficacité de décontamination et préservation de la qualité nutritionnelle et organoleptique du lait

PARTENARIATS
La thèse s'inscrit dans une démarche résolument collaborative au sein d’un projet plus large qui réunit 2 unités de recherche ayant des expertises complémentaires en physique des plasmas, biologie et agroalimentaire : l’Unité de Recherche DPHE et l’Unité Matériaux et Transformations (UMET), unité mixte de recherche rattachée au CNRS et à l’Université de Lille. Cette dernière développe des recherches en science des matériaux, physico-chimie des interfaces et transformations des systèmes complexes.

[Contrat doctoral] PhD 2026: Élaboration d’une nouvelle génération de composites métal–MXenes à hautes performances mécaniques et tribologiques à Centre de Mise en Forme des Matériaux (CEMEF)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Contexte général du projet de recherche :

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les matériaux bidimensionnels ont changé la conception des nouveaux matériaux. Initialement dominé par le graphène, le domaine s’est élargi avec l’apparition des MXenes en 2011, une famille de carbures et nitrures métalliques lamellaires aujourd’hui très étudiée.

Les MXenes associent des propriétés rarement réunies : excellente conductivité électrique, bonne rigidité, stabilité thermique élevée et chimie de surface riche et modulable.

Objectifs de la thèse

Cette thèse vise à concevoir des composites métalliques renforcés par des phases MAX (Ti₃AlC₂) et des MXènes (Ti₃C₂Tz, où Tz désigne les terminaisons –F, –Cl, –OH, etc.), en utilisant le procédé SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering), qui associe compaction en matrice fermée et chauffage par effet Joule afin d’obtenir des performances tribologiques et mécaniques améliorées.

Une première phase consistera en une étude bibliographique approfondie pour analyser les travaux existants sur les composites à base de phases MAX et MXenes, identifier les verrous scientifiques et technologiques, et définir les orientations expérimentales pertinentes.

La partie expérimentale du projet cherchera à établir des liens entre la morphologie, la taille et la proportion des phases renforçantes, leur dispersion dans la matrice et le comportement global du matériau, afin d’identifier le meilleur compromis entre résistance mécanique et performance tribologique. La démarche reposera sur une caractérisation fine de la microstructure des composites, ainsi que sur l’évaluation de leurs propriétés mécaniques (indentation, compression) et tribologiques dans différentes conditions opératoires.

Une attention particulière sera portée à l’analyse des mécanismes d’usure et de déformation pour établir des relations structure–propriétés–performances et optimiser ces composites pour des applications industrielles.

[Contrat doctoral] PHYSICO-CHIMIE DE L’INTERFACE VERRE/ETAIN : ROLE DU REDOX DANS LE RECYCLAGE DES VERRES PHOTOVOLTAÏQUES à Sorbonne Université / Saint Gobain

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Nous recherchons un(e) candidat(e) motivé(e) pour un doctorat dans le cadre du projet ANR GRISBI, qui s’attaque à un défi majeur de durabilité : le recyclage du verre photovoltaïque contenant de l’antimoine (Sb).

Contexte

Environ 90 % des verres issus de panneaux photovoltaïques en fin de vie contiennent de l’antimoine (Sb), ce qui empêche actuellement leur réutilisation dans l’industrie du verre plat. Ce doctorat vise à lever ce verrou en étudiant les interactions redox complexes à l’interface entre le verre fondu et l’étain liquide, au cœur du procédé industriel de flottage du verre.

La fabrication du verre plat repose en Europe sur le procédé industriel « Float », où la fonte verrière est coulée sur un bain d’étain liquide sous atmosphère contrôlée. Ce procédé met en jeu des phénomènes complexes d’oxydo-réduction à l’interface verre/métal, encore insuffisamment compris, mais déterminants pour la qualité finale du verre, le rendement du procédé et son efficacité énergétique.

Objectif du projet

L’objectif de la thèse consistera à mieux comprendre les mécanismes physico-chimiques à l’interface entre un verre sodo-calcique et le bain d’étain, afin d’identifier les paramètres clés qui gouvernent ces interactions. Les travaux porteront en particulier sur (i) l’étude de l’état redox des éléments multivalents, notamment le Sb, en fonction des conditions de synthèse et de la composition, et (ii) l’influence du bain d’étain sur la physico-chimie du verre à l’interface.

Les échantillons obtenus seront analysés le long des profils de diffusion afin de déterminer leur composition, leur état redox et leur microstructure. Cette caractérisation s’appuiera sur un ensemble de techniques de caractérisations avancées, incluant les spectroscopies UV-Visible, Raman, XANES/EXAFS, la résonance paramagnétique électronique (RPE) ainsi que la microscopie électronique.

Missions principales

Vous étudierez le comportement des éléments multivalents — en particulier l’antimoine — dans différentes conditions expérimentales et leurs interactions avec l’étain fondu. L’objectif est d’identifier les paramètres clés contrôlant ces réactions afin de permettre des voies de recyclage du verre plus efficaces et durables.

Étudier le comportement redox de Sb et d’autres éléments multivalents
Analyser les interactions verre/étain via des expériences de diffusion
Utiliser des techniques avancées (Raman, UV-Vis, XANES/EXAFS, EPR, microscopie)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Context

The catalytic conversion of CO₂ into methanol is a central route for turning an abundant carbon source into a liquid energy carrier and chemical intermediate. At the atomic scale, this reaction depends on a delicate balance between CO₂ activation, hydrogen transfer, stabilization of C1 oxygenated intermediates and desorption of methanol or competing products. Small changes in the local geometry or electronic structure of the active site can therefore redirect the reaction pathway, which makes surface-level understanding essential for rational catalyst design.

Single-atom catalysts supported by graphene or N-doped graphene offer a controlled platform for this problem. An isolated transition-metal atom coordinated in a carbon/nitrogen environment can provide a well-defined active site while maximizing metal efficiency. However, the relevant chemical space remains large: the metal identity, coordination motif, nearby defects, hydrogen coverage and reaction intermediates all modify activity and selectivity. Density functional theory can describe these effects accurately, but systematic exploration of many sites and elementary steps rapidly becomes computationally expensive. Conversely, general-purpose machine-learning potentials are not yet sufficiently reliable for rare reactive configurations at surfaces. The central idea of this PhD project is to build a focused, data-efficient modeling strategy for this specific class of reactive interfaces.

PhD project

The thesis will develop a computational workflow to study CO₂ hydrogenation on graphene-supported single-atom catalysts, with emphasis on transition-metal sites coordinated by carbon and nitrogen motifs. The first step will be to establish a robust DFT reference for representative adsorption states and elementary reaction steps, including CO₂ bending/activation, hydrogen addition, formate or carboxyl-like intermediates, methoxy formation and methanol release. This reference will be used to identify the structural motifs and reaction coordinates that control activity and selectivity.

The methodological core of the work will be the construction of an informative training set rather than the accumulation of a large, redundant database. Candidate configurations will be generated from DFT relaxations, reaction-path searches, molecular dynamics snapshots and targeted distortions around key intermediates. They will then be filtered using structural diversity, physical consistency and uncertainty indicators, so that expensive reference calculations are concentrated on configurations that genuinely improve the model. Based on this curated data, the PhD student will train and test machine-learning force fields or Δ-learning corrections able to reproduce energies, forces and selected reaction barriers in the relevant domain. The aim is to obtain models that are useful for catalyst screening because their limits are explicitly diagnosed, not simply because they perform well on equilibrium structures.

Scientifically, the project will address three linked questions: which metal–coordination environments activate CO₂ without trapping intermediates too strongly; which elementary steps are most sensitive to the local structure of the single-atom site; and how far active data selection can reduce the cost of atomistic modelling while preserving quantitative accuracy on reaction energetics. The project naturally builds on previous IJL work on alloy surfaces, adsorption and CO₂ hydrogenation, and on recent developments in machine-learning potentials for surfaces and reactive interfaces.

[Contrat doctoral] Commandes coopératives de véhicules autonomes aériens et terrestres en présence de contraintes opérationnelles à Ecole Supérieure des Techniques Aéronautique et de la Construction Automobile (ESTACA)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Ce projet de thèse s’intéresse à la conception de lois de commande coopératives pour des groupes de véhicules autonomes aériens et terrestres devant atteindre un objectif commun, tel que le consensus, la synchronisation, le maintien de formation ou le rendez-vous. Ce sujet suscite un intérêt croissant en raison de ses nombreuses applications dans les domaines de la robotique mobile, des transports intelligents, de la surveillance, de l’inspection et, plus largement, des systèmes autonomes.

De manière générale, tout système de contrôle coopératif multi-agents comprend un ensemble d’informations collectées localement, un réseau de communication à bande passante limitée, un algorithme de décision et une capacité de calcul distribuée. L’objectif des systèmes coopératifs est d’assurer une coordination efficace entre les agents afin d’atteindre un comportement collectif souhaité, tout en respectant les contraintes imposées par les dynamiques des véhicules, leur environnement d’évolution et les exigences liées à la mission.

Le problème devient particulièrement complexe lorsque les véhicules sont soumis à des perturbations, à du bruit de mesure, à des incertitudes de modélisation, à des limitations de communication ou à des défaillances partielles. Dans le cas des véhicules autonomes aériens et terrestres, ces difficultés sont renforcées par la présence de contraintes opérationnelles, telles que les limitations de vitesse, d’accélération, d’énergie ou d’actionnement, les contraintes de sécurité, l’évitement d’obstacles, la prévention des collisions inter-agents, ainsi que les variations de l’environnement et des conditions de mission. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans une dynamique de collaboration entre ESTACA’Lab et le laboratoire MIS, en articulant développements théoriques, algorithmiques et validation expérimentale.

L’objectif principal de la thèse est de développer des stratégies de commande coopérative robustes et performantes pour des véhicules autonomes aériens et terrestres, en tenant compte explicitement des contraintes opérationnelles affectant leur fonctionnement.

Les résultats attendus portent en particulier sur :

Consensus et synchronisation : amener les agents à suivre un comportement collectif coordonné malgré les perturbations, les incertitudes et les limitations de communication.
Contrôle de formation : maintenir une structure géométrique précise entre plusieurs véhicules autonomes aériens et terrestres tout en assurant leur déplacement.
Robustesse et sécurité : garantir le fonctionnement du système malgré les perturbations, les incertitudes, les défauts de communication et les contraintes d’évitement d’obstacles et de collisions.
Prise en compte des contraintes opérationnelles : intégrer explicitement dans la synthèse des lois de commande les limitations physiques, énergétiques, informationnelles et missionnelles propres aux véhicules autonomes.
Implémentation temps réel et validation expérimentale : développer l’implémentation embarquée des stratégies de commande proposées et évaluer leurs performances sur des plateformes expérimentales, en prenant en compte les contraintes de calcul, de communication, d’acquisition et d’intégration temps réel.

Profil recherché :
Le candidat ou la candidate recherché(e) devra être titulaire d’un diplôme d’ingénieur ou d’un Master 2 en automatique, robotique, systèmes embarqués, mécatronique, mathématiques appliquées, électronique ou domaine voisin. De solides bases en modélisation, stabilité et commande des systèmes dynamiques ; Un intérêt marqué pour les véhicules autonomes, les systèmes multi-agents, la commande coopérative et les approches robustes ; Une bonne maîtrise d’outils scientifiques tels que MATLAB/Simulink, Python ou environnements équivalents ; Des connaissances en commande non linéaire, estimation d’état, commande robuste, implémentation temps réel ou théorie des graphes seront appréciées ; Autonomie, rigueur scientifique et goût pour le travail collaboratif interdisciplinaire.

[Stage] Parametric Environmental and Economic Assessment (LCA – TEA) of End-of-Life Pathways for Biodegradable Food Packaging à UMR SayFood, Université Paris Saclay, INRAE, AgroParisTech

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Context :

The transition towards a sustainable food system requires rethinking the packaging of perishable food products. These packages face a threefold challenge:

Technical performance: Ensuring the optimal protection and preservation of the food.
Eco-responsibility: Eliminating plastic pollution by guaranteeing an end-of-life stage with no environmental impact.
Economic viability: Maintaining a competitive production cost so as not to affect the final price of the food product.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging, or MAP, is a key technology for extending the shelf life of perishable foods and reducing food waste. However, designing sustainable MAP packaging represents a highly complex systemic challenge. Improving technical performance(physical/chemical) in order to guarantee barrier properties, has a direct impact on end-of-life management, which may compromise the system’s economic viability or eco-responsibility. For example, maximizing the barrier effect by making the material more complex can drastically increase the cost and feasibility challenges of recycling it.

For this reason, it is crucial to integrate the end-of-life treatment of these packages in the design phase. Several end-of-life scenarios coexist, each offering distinct advantages, including industrial composting, anaerobic digestion, chemical recycling using supercritical CO₂, and incineration. However, choosing between these different pathways is complex. This decision requires the development of dynamic environmental and economic indicators coupled with the packaging design variables, in order to identify the optimal pathway for each case study. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA), can provide elements of response to this challenge.

The intern’s objective will be to formalize the end-of-life treatment system for these packages in the form of a coupled semi-parametric LCA-TEA model. Unlike classical and static assessment approaches, this model must directly integrate the key design variables of MAP packaging, such as the thickness of the packaging matrix, the formulation and proportion of the barrier layer, or the packaging volume. Thus, any modification of the physical parameters of the packaging will be reflected instantly and dynamically in the environmental impact and cost indicators of each end-of-life pathway.

Internship Objectives :

Use digital tools to develop a coupled parametric LCA-TEA model, meaning Life Cycle Assessment and Techno-Economic Analysis, to evaluate the environmental viability and economic profitability of the three selected end-of-life pathways, while integrating the design variables of biodegradable MAP food packaging based on PLA and comparing them with a conventional solution.

Activities to be realized :

The work will consist of several tasks organized into three main pillars :

1. Data and Inventory :

Identify the available information on the possible end-of-life pathways for these packages in order to establish the scenarios to be evaluated.
Collect and integrate the technical, environmental, and financial data of the treatment scenarios.

2. Parametric Model Development :

Develop mathematical correlations between environmental and economic impacts using the collected data.
Build the LCA model using the Brightway2 tool, either with the “Activity Browser” interface or directly in Python, based on the established correlations.
Build the TEA model using a spreadsheet or directly in Python, based on the established correlations and on CAPEX, meaning equipment investment, and OPEX, meaning energy, labor, and maintenance.

3. Interpretation and Analysis :

Interpret the results in order to establish the preferred end-of-life scenarios for the different evaluated cases.
Carry out a sensitivity analysis to identify the most impactful and important design variables in the system.
Identify “hotspots,” meaning critical points where a small technical improvement can drastically reduce impacts or costs.

Profil recherché :
Desired Profile : Background in data science and modeling, applied mathematics or computer science, engineering sciences, process engineering, environmental engineering, or industrial engineering.

[Contrat doctoral] Influence des vibrations sur l’efficacité des déplacement à vélo. à Ecole doctorale UTC-ED71

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

La mobilité cyclable est rarement abordée sous l’angle de l’efficacité énergétique. Bien que l’univers de la compétition cycliste s’y intéresse de manière très précise, celui des déplacements du quotidien l’a peu investi. Si l’on raisonne sur les infrastructures, les principaux facteurs de perte connus sont la résistance au roulement, et la résistance due aux irrégularités, creux et bosses, d’une chaussée. La résistance au roulement est comprise et finement modélisée depuis longtemps. Elle reste en général assez limitée sur des surfaces suffisamment rigides et ne constitue pas la perte principal des déplacement à vélo.
En revanche, la résistance provenant des cahots de la route peut être très importante, et reste mal comprise. Rencontrer une bosse de taille importante peut faire changer de direction un véhicule, et notamment vers le haut. Même si cette redirection peut se faire sans dissipation pour un choc considéré comme élastique, une accélération verticale sera généralement perdue, amortie in fine par des rebonds successifs ou bien convertie en vibrations engendrées par le choc. La dissipation peut avoir lieu dans le cadre, les suspensions si elles sont présentes, ou même le corps humain présent sur la selle. S’il est possible dans certains cas d’utiliser le corps pour transférer et récupérer cette énergie sur une rampe par exemple, en général l’accélération verticale transmise dans le corps sera perdue, et génère un inconfort parfois important.
Quelques travaux soulignent clairement l’importance des vibrations sur le confort des cyclistes. Les vibrations générées par la chaussée semblent également nuire à l’efficacité du déplacement, mais une analyse quantitative de ce phénomène reste à produire. De plus, la compréhension physique des mécanismes de transmission et dissipation dans les différentes parties du système (roues, cadre, cycliste, etc) manque encore, afin de proposer des stratégies d’amélioration des infrastructures.

Cette thèse propose d’étudier les vibrations subies en circulant à vélo. Pour ce faire, nous proposons des campagnes de mesures réalisées avec des vélos instrumentés, munis en particulier d’accéléromètres, capteurs de distance laser, de capteurs de puissance de pédalage. Le but de cette analyse sera d’effectuer un bilan énergétique des efforts dissipés pour diverses conditions de route. L’étude se basera sur des mesures comparatives, afin d’isoler les différents facteurs de perte existants (aérodynamique, pente, roulement, vibrations). Cette première partie fournira d’emblée une analyse empirique de la qualité de certains types de revêtement existant pour la circulation à vélo.
Le second objectif est d’obtenir une modélisation physique de la génération desvibrations par la chaussée. Ce travail s’appuiera sur les mesures obtenues, ainsi que la littérature existante sur la dynamique du cycliste et des vélos. Il s’appuiera également sur les travaux dans le domaine de l’étude du bruit généré par les véhicules motorisés, qui s’intéressent à la modélisation des textures de chaussées. In fine, il s’agira de proposer un outil
permettant de simuler les vibrations générées par une chaussée et son effet sur le système mécanique du cycliste et son vélo.

Ce travail de thèse s’inscrit dans un programme de recherche interdisciplinaire sur l’ergonomie d’accès aux ressources cyclables. La personne recrutée travaillera en lien avec une autre thèse en génie urbain et analyse des systèmes de mobilité. La collaboration donnera lieu a des échanges sur les méthodes, données et analyses des deux thèses.

[Contrat doctoral] Elaboration and study of physical properties of graphenic carbon nitrides nanostructures à ICMMO / Université Paris-Saclay et IEMN / Université de Lille

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

The discovery of novel 2D materials with unique electronic band structures has generated significant interest in understanding how modifications in their morphology and elemental composition can influence their physical properties. A major objective in this field has been to develop alternatives to conventional top-down fabrication methods of tailored graphene-based structures, which originally exhibit semimetallic electronic properties. In this context, bottom-up approaches based on on-surface reactions of molecular precursors (e.g., via Ullmann coupling and cyclodehydrogenation) have proven to be highly efficient for the growth of nanostructured one- and two-dimensional graphenic architectures on metal surfaces with tunable electronic properties, ranging from semimetallic to semiconducting behavior. By the same time, advances in solution-phase molecular chemistry also made possible the synthesis of extended 2D conjugated networks.

Building on these advances, the proposed PhD project will focus on the synthesis of suitable molecular precursors, followed by the growth of porous 2D carbon nitride (CxNy) layers using two complementary approaches: traditional wet chemistry (i.e., the Fittig reaction) and UHV-based on-surface synthesis as described above. Particular emphasis will be placed on investigating the atomic structure, chemical composition, electronic and vibrational properties of the resulting CN-based materials, grown or drop-casted on different substrates.

Profil recherché :
The candidate should have a strong interest in experimental work. Knowledge of organic chemistry, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) techniques and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) would be clear advantages for this project. One part of the study will be conducted in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) condition: Substrate's preparation and molecular precursors deposition on these surfaces by molecular beam epitaxy; Elaboration of graphene-based nanostructures via on-surface reaction of the precursors; Exploring their structures at atomic scale, chemical composition and electronic properties with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The candidate will also be responsible for studies at ambient conditions: Synthesis of molecular precursors and their use for the growth of 2D CN-based layers, along with the characterization of both precursor and resulting materials using conventional techniques; Study of their vibrational and optical properties, along with evaluating their suitability for use as active layers in sensors and transistors. The candidate should be able to work both independently and in a collaborative environment (i.e. interact with physicists, chemists and theoreticians). Good communication skills and knowledge of English are required since the candidate will participate in the dissemination of his/her research to the international community: publications in scientific journals, conferences, general public communication, etc.

[Contrat doctoral] THESE - IMPACT DES NUITS CHAUDES SUR LE SOMMEIL ET LA SANTE F/H à CSTB Grenoble

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

La Direction Energie Environnement recherche un(e) doctorant(e) pour une durée de 3 ans dans le cadre du sujet de recherche : Impact des nuits chaudes sur le sommeil et la santé : interactions entre environnement bâti, thermophysiologie du sommeil et stratégies adaptatives des occupants. Le poste est basé à Grenoble.

Dans un contexte de changement climatique, les vagues de chaleur, de plus en plus fréquentes et intenses, dégradent le confort thermique intérieur et la qualité du sommeil. En 2025, le gouvernement a publié le Plan national d’adaptation au changement climatique (PNACC) ainsi qu’une feuille de route interministérielle sur le sommeil. Pourtant, l’impact des fortes chaleurs sur le sommeil reste peu étudié.

Cette thèse s’inscrit au CSTB, en partenariat avec l’INSERM (neurosciences du sommeil) et une chercheuse CNRS en thermophysiologie. Elle vise à identifier, mesurer et modéliser les liens entre microclimat nocturne dans des logements non climatisés et dégradation objectivable du sommeil, en conditions réelles. Elle adopte une approche intégrée croisant microclimat, thermophysiologie, neurosciences du sommeil et comportements adaptatifs (fenêtres, ventilateurs).

Le projet de thèse consiste à développer un protocole de mesure in situ et mener une campagne expérimentale afin de constituer une base de données associant données sur le microclimat intérieur à la chambre, la thermophysiologie du corps humain, le sommeil des occupants et leurs actions adaptatives associées. Cette base de données permettra de construire un modèle prédictif dynamique du sommeil en fonction des conditions intérieures et des comportements des occupants, notamment en situation de surchauffe nocturne.

Ces travaux aboutiront à la création d'un indicateur opérationnel de dégradation du sommeil associés à des valeurs repères (température, humidité, vitesse d’air, bruit, luminosité), valorisables auprès des acteurs du bâtiment à travers des labels ou la future règlementation environnementale.

L’originalité repose sur l’interdisciplinarité (thermique du bâtiment, thermophysiologie, neurosciences, comportements). Les travaux s’inscrivent dans le projet international Annex95 de l’Agence Internationale de l’Énergie.

Vos principales missions seront les suivantes :

Réaliser un état de l’art sur les méthodes de mesure physiologiques (EEG, actimétrie, rythme circadien, etc.) du sommeil et les modèles de sommeil existants
Identifier les méthodes de mesure pertinentes et leurs limites selon les contextes applicatifs et proposer un protocole de mesure et un plan d’expérience
Étudier comment les différentes briques de modélisation (modèles physiologiques, empiriques, data-driven…) peuvent s’articuler entre elles pour construire un modèle cohérent

Profil recherché :
Vous êtes titulaire d'un diplôme de niveau Master ou ingénieur (thermique du bâtiment, data science, bio-ingénierie, neurosciences, modélisation, mathématiques appliquées, statistiques, …). Vous avez une appétence pour le travail expérimental, l’analyse statistique et la modélisation numérique. Vous disposez d'une capacité d'analyse et de synthèse. Vous faites preuve de rigueur, d'autonomie, de curiosité. Vous disposez d'une bonne communication écrite et orale. Vous êtes à l'aise en anglais (écrit, lu, parlé).

[Contrat doctoral] PhD 2026: MXènes fonctionnalisés comme additifs de lubrification avancés à Centre de Mise en Forme des Matériaux (CEMEF)

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Contexte général du projet de recherche :

Les pertes d’énergie liées aux frottements et à l’usure représentent aujourd’hui un enjeu industriel majeur, avec un impact direct sur l’efficacité énergétique et la durée de vie des contacts. Dans ce contexte, le développement de nouveaux additifs de lubrification haute performance constitue un défi scientifique et technologique important. Parmi les nanomatériaux émergents, les MXènes attirent un intérêt croissant grâce à leurs propriétés remarquables : structure lamellaire favorable au glissement, excellente stabilité chimique, forte résistance mécanique et grande capacité de fonctionnalisation. Ces caractéristiques font des MXènes des candidats prometteurs pour réduire les frottements et limiter l’usure dans les systèmes lubrifiés.

Cependant, plusieurs verrous scientifiques doivent encore être levés avant l’intégration des MXènes dans des formulations lubrifiantes performantes. Le premier défi concerne leur dispersion homogène et leur stabilité à long terme dans les huiles, conditions indispensables pour garantir des performances fiables. La compatibilité des MXènes avec les additifs conventionnels utilisés dans les formulations industrielles constitue également un enjeu important. Par ailleurs, le contrôle de la taille et de la morphologie des feuillets est essentiel afin d’assurer une alimentation efficace du contact tribologique et de favoriser la formation de tribofilms protecteurs. La maîtrise de la composition chimique des MXènes représente un autre paramètre clé pour optimiser leurs interactions avec les surfaces en contact. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans cette dynamique et vise à développer des MXènes comme additifs de lubrification haute performance.

Objectifs de la thèse

Durant cette thèse, le/la doctorant(e) combinera différentes approches expérimentales afin de mieux comprendre le comportement tribologique des MXènes utilisés comme additifs de lubrification. Les travaux porteront sur la synthèse et la fonctionnalisation de différentes familles de MXènes, ainsi que sur leur intégration dans des formulations lubrifiantes modèles. Le/la doctorant(e) développera des protocoles de dispersion et de fonctionnalisation chimique visant à améliorer la stabilité des MXènes dans les huiles et à optimiser leurs interactions avec les surfaces en contact.

Les formulations élaborées seront ensuite évaluées à l’aide d’essais tribologiques réalisés dans des conditions contrôlées afin d’étudier leur capacité à réduire les frottements et l’usure. Les mécanismes de lubrification seront analysés à travers une caractérisation approfondie des surfaces et des tribofilms formés pendant les essais. L’objectif sera d’identifier les mécanismes responsables des performances observées et d’établir les relations entre la structure et la chimie des MXènes, leur fonctionnalisation et leur comportement tribologique.

[Contrat doctoral] Predictive design of bistable molecular materials through crystallographic descriptors and supervised machine learning à Institut de Physique de Rennes - CNRS - Université de Rennes

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Decoding molecular switches:

from crystal structure to predictive design

Some materials can switch reversibly between two electronic states under temperature, pressure, or light. These spin-crossover (SCO) and charge-transfer-induced spin-transition (CTIST) compounds hold real promise for applications in molecular memory, sensors, and actuators. But after decades of research, a central question remains open: can we predict, from crystal structure alone, whether a new material will switch and under which conditions?

This PhD project tackles that question directly. You will combine experimental crystallography with supervised machine learning to build a predictive framework linking structural features to macroscopic switching behaviour: transition temperature, hysteresis width, abruptness. This is not a project where you apply an existing method to a standard problem. The descriptors are still being identified. The models are still being built. The database does not yet exist in the form we need. You will be constructing the scientific tools, not just using them.

On the experimental side, you will work hands-on with X-ray diffraction both on laboratory diffractometers and at large-scale synchrotron facilities such as SOLEIL, ESRF, or SPring-8. You will measure and analyse the structural response of materials to temperature, pressure, and light irradiation, and learn to extract meaningful structural information from complex diffraction data. On the computational side, you will engineer crystallographic descriptors: bond lengths, polyhedral distortion indices, packing geometry and train interpretable ML models (tree ensembles, graph neural networks) to predict the transition temperature T_1/2 and hysteresis width ΔT_H. Predictions will be tested against new experimental data in an iterative predict–synthesize–test loop, in collaboration with synthesis partners of the University of Tokyo.

This project sits at the intersection of condensed matter physics, structural chemistry, and data science. By the end of your PhD, you will have developed a rare combination of experimental and computational skills: crystallography, synchrotron science, data curation, and machine learning that opens doors in both academic research and the growing field of materials informatics.

Supervisors

You will be supervised by Laurent Guérin (Institut de Physique de Rennes / IRL DYNACOM, Tokyo, specialist in crystallography, synchrotron and XFEL methods, SCO/CTIST materials. You will work in close collaboration with Jean-Claude Crivello (IRL LINK, CNRS–NIMS, Tsukuba), specialist in atomistic simulations and supervised machine learning for materials science, and with Olaf Stefańczyk (University of Tokyo), specialist in the synthesis and magnetic characterization of transition-metal complexes. This ensures direct access to complementary expertise across crystallography, ML, and synthesis throughout the PhD.

Working environment

The working language is English. Your daily environment at IPR includes researchers, postdocs, and PhD students from a wide range of nationalities and scientific backgrounds. You will present your work regularly at internal and international seminars, attend conferences, and interact directly with beamline scientists during synchrotron campaigns. You will spend extended periods at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba and the University of Tokyo, working directly with collaboratrs on ML development and on synthesis and magnetic characterization.

Profil recherché :
Master’s degree in physics, chemistry, or materials science. Experience in X-ray diffraction and/or Python is a strong plus. Above all, we are looking for someone who wants to take ownership of a scientific question and build something new.

[Contrat doctoral] Etude du lessivage de produits de fission déposés sous forme d’aérosols sur l’enceinte d’un réacteur en cas d’accident grave (Ref Th RES 26-10) à ASNR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Dans le cadre d'un accident nucléaire grave entraînant la dispersion de produits de fission radioactifs, il est crucial de pouvoir prédire les quantités de matière radioactive relâchées hors de la centrale. Des produits de fission fortement radiotoxiques sont susceptibles de se redéposer sur les parois de l'enceinte du réacteur sous forme d'aérosols. Ces derniers peuvent ensuite être entraînés par la condensation de la vapeur d'eau sur les parois et jusqu'aux puisards, contribuant à la contamination des eaux.
Cet entraînement reste encore modélisé de façon simplifiée et cette représentation pourrait être affinée avec de nouvelles données et l'élaboration d'un modèle plus mécaniste. Des expérimentations ont été entreprises, avec des approches analytiques sur des aérosols insolubles [Sun 2025], ou des essais plus intégraux impliquant des aérosols solubles ou insolubles [Gupta 2016, Freitag 2019, Weber 2010, Gupta 2015]. Ces travaux ont mis en évidence l'influence de la taille des aérosols solubles ou la nature de l'écoulement (sous forme de ruissellement) pour les aérosols insolubles. Cependant, l'impact des propriétés du condensat, de la surface ont encore été peu investigués. Les propriétés des aérosols ont également été peu étudiées. Enfin, les interactions entre l'écoulement de l'eau et les propriétés intrinsèques des aérosols peuvent encore être éclaircies. Tous ces paramètres pourraient donc être des points à développer dans ce sujet de thèse.

Mission

Plusieurs volets complémentaires dans la thèse :

1- L'étude du condensat et son comportement sur différentes surfaces. Des propriétés de base telles que la tension de surface seront obtenues en faisant varier certains paramètres du condensat (pH, composition chimique). Plusieurs natures de surface, de rugosités différentes seront envisagées. Ce volet sera effectué à l'aide d'un tensiomètre disponible au laboratoire.

2- La génération des aérosols sur différents types de supports. Suivant le caractère soluble ou insoluble de l'aérosol, différentes techniques de génération seront envisagées : les aérosols solubles seront générés avec un nébuliseur, tandis que les insolubles seront broyés/micronisés avant d'être déposés sur le support. Des générations mixtes solubles/insolubles peuvent également être envisagées par vaporisation et redéposition. Les dépôts d'aérosols seront ensuite caractérisés, par MEB/EDX notamment, afin de contrôler leurs propriétés. Plusieurs natures et rugosités de coupons seront envisagées (acier, béton).

3- Le troisième volet porte sur le montage complet du dispositif d'étude de l'entraînement des aérosols. Un réacteur en verre à double paroi, permettant d'y faire circuler un fluide caloporteur pour maintenir un contraste de température entre la paroi du réacteur et celle des coupons chargés dans le dispositif, sera réalisé à façon. Un support à coupon refroidi avec des serpentins à eau pourra être utilisé pour accentuer encore le contraste thermique. Des premiers essais de conception pourront être réalisés en impression 3D au Fablab de Cadarache. De la vapeur sera ensuite injectée avec un générateur de vapeur dans le réacteur pour se condenser préférentiellement sur la surface du coupon refroidi. Une visualisation directe de la condensation sur le coupon sera réalisée en instrumentant le réacteur avec une caméra. Les aérosols entraînés par la condensation pourront être récupérés en base du réacteur avec un système de prélèvement pour effectuer des analyses chimiques et établir des bilans de lessivage. Plusieurs débits de condensation seront étudiés. Finalement, l'étude ainsi proposée permettra la construction d'un premier modèle paramétrique du lessivage des produits de fission.

[Contrat doctoral] Topological Acoustic Metamaterials for Robust Wave Control à Institut Jean Lamour - CNRS - Université de Lorraine

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Over the past decade, topology has reshaped our understanding of wave physics, extending far beyond condensed matter systems into photonics and acoustics. One of its most striking consequences is the existence of edge, surface, and corner states that remain robust in the presence of defects, disorder, or imperfections.

In acoustics, this conceptual framework is realized through phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials—engineered structures that enable exceptional control over the propagation of mechanical waves. Their macroscopic scale and experimental accessibility make them particularly well suited for investigating fundamental physical phenomena while simultaneously addressing practical challenges. Topological acoustic platforms have already demonstrated robust waveguiding and delay functionalities, and they hold strong promise for the development of phononic circuits resilient to fabrication tolerances. In elastodynamic systems, such approaches enable guided modes that are immune to defects, opening opportunities in optomechanics, acousto-optic devices, and acoustic signal processing. More broadly, they offer new avenues for high-performance sensing, vibration and noise mitigation, energy localization and harvesting, and advanced biomedical ultrasound technologies where robustness and confinement are critical.

This PhD project aims to investigate topological phenomena in acoustic metamaterials through an integrated approach combining design, numerical modeling, and experimental validation. The candidate will focus in particular on extending the concept of bulk–boundary correspondence to realistic and complex systems. The ultimate goal is to develop innovative strategies for controlling sound and vibrations, paving the way toward next-generation phononic devices and systems for signal processing, computing, and ultrasound applications.

[Contrat doctoral] Propriétés interfaciales et viscoélastiques du latex naturel : de la caractérisation microfluidique aux outils de mesure embarqués à Ecole Normale Supérieure

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Le latex naturel d'Hevea brasiliensis est une suspension colloïdale complexe dont le comportement rhéologique conditionne directement la productivité des exploitations et l'efficacité des procédés industriels de transformation du caoutchouc naturel. Malgré son importance économique majeure, la compréhension fondamentale de la rhéologie du latex et de ses propriétés interfaciales reste incomplète. La stabilité colloïdale de cette suspension évolue en effet dans le temps, et dépend fortement du pH, de la force ionique et de la présence d'agents stabilisants tels que l'ammoniaque.

Ce projet de thèse vise à caractériser quantitativement les propriétés viscoélastiques et interfaciales du latex naturel par des approches microfluidiques, depuis l'échelle du laboratoire jusqu'au déploiement sur site. Les objectifs sont organisés en trois axes : (i) la caractérisation en laboratoire des propriétés dynamiques du latex stabilisé à l'ammoniaque, incluant la tension interfaciale dynamique et les modules viscoélastiques, ainsi que l'évolution de ces propriétés lors de la déstabilisation par abaissement du pH ; (ii) le développement de méthodologies microfluidiques adaptées — canaux à géométrie sinusoïdale pour la déformation oscillatoire, expériences de relaxation de gouttes pour la tension interfaciale — en maîtrisant les problèmes de colmatage par dispersion du latex dans des phases huileuses de viscosité contrôlée ; (iii) la conception et la validation d'un dispositif microfluidique portable, basé sur des puces en verre fabriquées par gravure laser femtoseconde assistée par voie humide (FLAE/FemtoPrint), pour une analyse en temps réel sur les sites de saignée, en collaboration avec le CIRAD (Montpellier) et la SAPH (Société Africaine de Plantation d'Hévéas, Toupah, Côte d'Ivoire).

Ce projet s'inscrit dans un cadre CIFRE impliquant Michelin, dont l'intérêt stratégique pour la maîtrise de la qualité et de la variabilité du latex naturel est direct. Il est mené conjointement par le laboratoire CPCV (UMR 8228, ENS Paris / Sorbonne Université / CNRS, Institut Pierre-Gilles de Gennes) et le laboratoire C3M (ESPCI Paris).

Profil recherché :
Le ou la candidate devra être titulaire d'un master 2 ou un diplôme d'ingénieur en physique, chimie, physico-chimie ou instrumentation. Des compétences dans un ou plusieurs des domaines suivants sont attendues : microfluidique, rhéologie ou mécanique des fluides complexes, optique et instrumentation, microscopie. Un intérêt pour les applications industrielles et les enjeux liés aux matériaux biosourcés sera apprécié. Le projet requiert une réelle capacité à travailler à l'interface entre disciplines — entre physique des interfaces, ingénierie microfluidique et contraintes de terrain — ainsi qu'une forte autonomie et un sens de l'initiative. Une expérience en microfabrication ou en manipulation de systèmes colloïdaux constitue un atout. De bonnes capacités de communication écrite et orale en anglais sont indispensables, la thèse donnant lieu à des publications et des présentations dans des conférences internationales. La maîtrise du français est requise pour les interactions quotidiennes au laboratoire. Des déplacements sur site en Côte d'Ivoire sont prévus dans le cadre du volet terrain du projet.

[Contrat doctoral] Méthodologie innovante pour l’étude de la cinétique de dépôt d’aérosols lors de scénarios d’incendie d’intérêt (Th RES26-14) à ASNR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

L’incendie dans les installations nucléaires de base représente l’un des risques majeurs dont les conséquences sont la mise en suspension de particules radioactives et la production de particules de suie, participant au colmatage des filtres à très haute efficacité et pouvant également affecter les équipements électriques importants pour la sûreté.

Afin d’estimer au mieux les conséquences d’un tel accident, des mesures en temps réel du dépôt de suies permettraient de mieux appréhender la dynamique du dépôt. La technologie des capteurs résistifs présente à cet égard, l’avantage de la robustesse à haute température. Cependant, une saturation rapide du capteur a été observée au regard de la durée d’un incendie. Par conséquent, une régénération régulière du capteur résistif est nécessaire pour suivre l’intégralité d’un incendie. Par ailleurs, dans un souci de complémentarité des données, et profitant de la phase de régénération du capteur résistif, une deuxième méthode basée sur la mesure du CO2 émis lors de la régénération du capteur a été introduite.

L’objectif de la thèse proposée est d’approfondir la compréhension de la dynamique du dépôt d’aérosols sur les parois et de finaliser le développement d’un système innovant de quantification en temps réel du dépôt de particules à différentes échelles. L’intérêt sera, in fine, de disposer d’une méthodologie de quantification pouvant être transposable à divers scénarios d’incendie nécessitant la quantification d'un dépôt pariétal.

Après une étude bibliographique, la thèse se déroulera en 3 tâches, depuis les tests à l’échelle laboratoire jusqu’aux tests finaux de validation du suivi dynamique du dépôt pour des incendies à grande échelle.

1ère année : Étude à l’échelle analytique – Caractérisation et modélisation du dépôt L’objectif de cette tâche est de comprendre la dynamique du dépôt sur le capteur résistif à l’échelle analytique (installation sous-ventilée PARIS) et d’acquérir une connaissance des produits de dégradation issus de la combustion de différents matériaux d’intérêt. Elle comprend 2 volets :

Analyse phénoménologique de la formation des microstructures du dépôt Des comportements limitant l’utilisation de la méthode de quantification basée sur la mesure de la réponse électrique du capteur résistif ont été observés pour des mélanges de TBP/TPH (Kort, 2021). L’amélioration de cette méthode passe par une meilleure compréhension de la structure du dépôt et l’établissement d’un lien entre cette formation et le comportement électrique. Pour cela, des observations morphologiques directes des structures de dépôt formées à différents stades de chargement du capteur ainsi qu’une caractérisation électrique des suies seront réalisées.

Validation de la phase de régénération :La deuxième méthode de quantification (Kort, 2022) est basée sur la mesure de la concentration de CO2 émise lors de la phase de régénération du capteur résistif. Cependant, elle a été établie pour des suies principalement composées de carbone. Dans le cas de suies et de particules simulant du plutonium, il convient de qualifier le processus de régénération du capteur qui pourrait être modifié par la présence de ces particules. Des observations du capteur après régénération seront donc effectuées ainsi que diverses caractérisations physico-chimiques des particules produites.

2ème année : Quantification dynamique du dépôt à l’échelle intermédiaire
Cette tâche vise à qualifier et à valider le dispositif de quantification dans des conditions plus réalistes (installation BANCO) avec un débit de ventilation de 300 m3/h. Plus précisément, il s’agira de valider le nouveau système de quantification dans des conditions de dépôt représentatives et d’ajuster le protocole de mesure pour différents types de suies. Les mesures dynamiques obtenues seront confrontées aux masses déposées mesurées par des techniques de référence.

2ème et 3ème année : Validation à l’échelle intégrale
Cette dernière tâche consiste à tester le dispositif de quantification dynamique dans des conditions expérimentales plus représentatives, à échelle de démonstrateur.
Les mesures effectuées seront comparées à des mesures de référence par aspiration et permettront de produire des données inédites pour alimenter les modèles de dépôt dans les codes de calcul incendie.

[Contrat doctoral] Modélisation de la transition ductile-fragile des aciers ferritiques. Application au vieillissement des cuves de réacteurs nucléaires (Ref Th RES 26-15) à ASNR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Depuis le début des programmes nucléaires en Europe, des programmes de surveillance ont été mis en place afin de contrôler la fragilisation de l'acier constituant la cuve du réacteur au fur et à mesure de son exploitation, notamment l'évolution de la température de transition ductile-fragile. Une description complète de la transition ductile-fragile nécessite de modéliser la dispersion des ténacités mesurées ainsi que l'évolution de la ténacité médiane avec la température. Plusieurs Modèles de Zones Cohésives unifiés ont été proposés pour décrire la propagation de fissure dans ce domaine, mais dont les paramètres cohésifs étaient constants pour une simulation donnée : le clivage précédé d'une propagation stable ne peut donc pas être simulé. Ils ne sont également pas en mesure de représenter l'effet d'échelle observable entre éprouvettes de différentes tailles. Une solution pour pallier ces problèmes est donc d'introduire des défauts en utilisant un modèle de zones cohésives probabiliste.

L'objectif de la thèse est donc de modéliser la transition ductile-fragile à l'aide d'un modèle de zones cohésives probabiliste. Ce type de modèle permettra de capter les différents comportements observables dans la zone de transition ductile-fragile, de représenter l'évolution de la ténacité médiane et de la distribution de ténacité en fonction de la température, et d'obtenir l'effet d'échelle observable.

L'objectif est de mettre en place un modèle de zone cohésives probabiliste capable de modéliser le comportement d'aciers ferritiques dans le domaine de transition ductile-fragile en termes de ténacité, modes de rupture et effets d'échelles.
Pour ce faire, il est nécessaire d'implémenter dans le logiciel XPER, et plus particulièrement dans le logiciel LMGC90, la variabilité de paramètres cohésifs dans une zone considérée. La méthode doit être suffisamment générale pour pouvoir être adaptable à d'autres modèles/matériaux.
Dans le cadre de cette thèse, le côté probabiliste du modèle est associé à la présence de défauts dans le matériau. Une étude sera donc faite pour choisir la façon la plus pertinente de modéliser un défaut. Il faut déterminer quel est l'influence d'un défaut sur les paramètres cohésifs par rapport aux paramètres « sains ».
Pour finir, la distribution de défauts à appliquer sera étudiée. Il sera nécessaire de déterminer s'il faut introduire une variabilité de la distribution en fonction de la température ou si le changement de loi d'écoulement plastique est suffisant pour introduire la variation de distribution de ténacité et l'augmentation de la médiane observées.

[Contrat doctoral] Etude de la réactivité sel/bitume par calorimétrie adiabatique et confrontation par approche de dynamique moléculaire en contexte d'incendie (Ref Th RES 26-04) à ASNR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Dans les années 1960, le bitume a été retenu par l'industrie nucléaire française comme matrice d'enrobage pour les déchets radioactifs de faible et moyenne activité issus du retraitement du combustible. Aujourd'hui, les fûts d'enrobés bitumineux représentent près d'un tiers des déchets MA-VL destinés au stockage géologique profond du projet Cigéo. Dans le cadre de l'instruction du dossier d'autorisation par l'ASNR, des besoins ont été identifiés concernant la compréhension de la réactivité chimique entre le bitume et les sels issus de la coprécipitation des radionucléides. La maîtrise des mécanismes d'emballement thermique, en tenant compte des incertitudes liées à la composition, au vieillissement et à l'hétérogénéité des colis, constitue un enjeu majeur de sûreté, notamment en cas d'apport de chaleur externe lors d'un incendie. Des études par calorimétrie différentielle ont permis d'identifier les débuts de réactivité et les énergies libérables, mais des incertitudes persistent quant à la représentativité des conditions réelles. Cette thèse propose d'étudier des enrobés modèles sel-bitume par calorimétrie adiabatique VSP2 afin d'évaluer les effets d'échelle, les températures de début de réactivité (T≤200 °C), les énergies exothermiques et l'influence du vieillissement. Les résultats attendus amélioreront la compréhension des phénomènes thermochimiques dans des conditions représentatives de stockage à long terme et renforceront l'expertise indépendante en sûreté nucléaire.

Méthodologie et organisation des travaux
Première année : développement expérimental et caractérisation initiale
La première année sera consacrée à la mise en place des protocoles expérimentaux nécessaires à l'utilisation d'un calorimètre adiabatique de type VSP2. Le doctorant prendra en main l'instrumentation, définira les procédures expérimentales et développera les méthodes d'analyse des thermogrammes en collaboration avec l'INERIS, reconnu pour son expertise dans la mesure calorimétrique et l'analyse des risques d'emballement thermique.
Parallèlement, des campagnes de caractérisation physico-chimique seront menées avec le CEREMA afin d'évaluer la représentativité des enrobés modèles par rapport aux enrobés industriels. Ces analyses incluront des mesures rhéologiques pour caractériser le comportement mécanique, des observations morphologiques pour décrire la microstructure du matériau et des analyses de spéciation chimique pour identifier les espèces présentes.

Deuxième année : caractérisation de la réactivité thermique
La deuxième année portera sur l'étude approfondie des formulations d'enrobés modèles présentant les comportements thermiques les plus critiques. Les essais en calorimétrie adiabatique permettront de déterminer les températures de début de réactivité, les cinétiques réactionnelles et les énergies libérées. Une attention particulière sera portée à l'influence de facteurs susceptibles d'amplifier la réactivité, tels que la présence de solvants dégradés, les phénomènes d'oxydation, les effets de l'irradiation et les transitoires thermiques.
Les résultats seront analysés dans une perspective d'évaluation des incertitudes afin de renforcer la robustesse des conclusions. Ils seront également comparés aux données obtenues dans la thèse complémentaire menée par PSE-ENV/SPDR/LETIS, permettant ainsi une confrontation croisée des approches expérimentales et une validation des résultats.

Troisième année : modélisation moléculaire et compréhension des mécanismes
La troisième année sera dédiée à la modélisation à l'échelle atomique des interactions bitume-sels. Des simulations de dynamique moléculaire utilisant des champs de forces classiques permettront d'étudier la structure des matrices bitumineuses et de quantifier les interactions énergétiques entre leurs constituants. Ces travaux serviront de base au développement de simulations plus avancées par dynamique moléculaire ab initio de type DFT-MD, intégrant explicitement les interactions électroniques.
Cette approche permettra de modéliser des réactions chimiques complexes en milieu confiné et d'obtenir des données énergétiques précises sur les mécanismes redox. Les résultats contribueront à compléter les observations expérimentales et à améliorer la compréhension des phénomènes responsables de la réactivité thermique des enrobés bitumineux.

[Contrat doctoral] Comportement thermo-hydro-mécanique du béton en accident grave selon une approche poro-mécanique (Th EXP26-3) à ASNR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

L'ASNR assure le contrôle des activités nucléaires civiles en France et exerce des missions de recherche, d'expertise, de formation et d'information des publics dans les domaines de la sûreté nucléaire et de la radioprotection. En particulier, l'ASNR mène des programmes de recherche afin de développer des outils d'expertise permettant d'évaluer la capacité des enceintes de confinement des réacteurs nucléaires à assurer leur mission de confinement des matières radioactives dans différentes conditions d'ambiance dans l'enceinte, notamment résultant d'un accident grave dans le réacteur (pic de pression à 6 bars absolus, température pouvant atteindre les 250°C, conditions saturantes ou partiellement saturées).

Ces programmes de recherche investiguent notamment les modifications des propriétés du béton des enceintes soumis à de telles conditions d'ambiance, en regard de la fonction d'étanchéité vis-à-vis des matières radioactives, caractérisée par un taux de fuite. Ainsi, l'objectif principal de la thèse est de fournir une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes thermo-hydro-mécanique (THM) impliqués dans le comportement du béton soumis à des conditions d'accident grave en utilisant une approche numérique-expérimentale, qui doit aboutir au développement et la validation d'un modèle de comportement poro-mécanique du béton adapté.

Mission

Le doctorant devra s'inspirer des modèles disponibles dans la littérature, notamment ceux développés pour la tenue au feu du béton, pour mettre un place une loi de comportement poro-mécanique du béton adaptée aux sollicitations THM résultant de conditions d'accident grave dans l'enceinte. Les travaux d'adaptation des modèles existants viseront à ne retenir que les phénomènes pertinents et nécessaires. Le doctorant devra porter une attention particulière à justifier tout affaiblissement, à des fins de robustesse numérique, du niveau de couplage des phénomènes physiques en jeu. Ce travail se basera sur une analyse de sensibilité probabiliste aux différents phénomènes en jeu dans le béton à ces conditions accidentelles ; l'objectif étant d'hiérarchiser les phénomènes physiques considérés dans le modèle (via les paramètres associés) selon leur importance vis-à-vis de la réponse attendue dans le domaine de sollicitation visée. Plusieurs méthodes peuvent être appliquées : OAT, SOBOL', Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC), etc.

Le doctorant alimentera son modèle par des résultats d'essais à l'échelle de l'éprouvette. Il bénéficiera des résultats d'essais de sorption/désorption, de perméabilité et de porosité réalisés à l'I2M (Institut de mécanique et d'ingénierie - Université de Bordeaux) et validera sa démarche sur la base d'essais optimisés réalisés par mesures au tomographe neutronique rapide de l'Institut Laue Langevin à Grenoble. Les observables d'intérêt couvriront l'évolution du front de saturation, la perte de masse et l'évolution du réseau poreux (en condition résiduelle après les essais au tomographe), etc. pendant le chargement thermique et en fonction du chargement mécanique appliqué.

La loi de comportement poro-mécanique qui sera proposée devra être implémentable dans le code de calcul de mécanique des structures par éléments finis Cast3M (développé par le CEA), directement ou via le générateur de loi de comportement Mfront.

Le doctorant devra ensuite tester, à l'échelle d'une maquette représentative d'une zone courante d'une enceinte de confinement d'un réacteur de 1300 MWe, la capacité prédictive du modèle poro-mécanique développé. Cette analyse sera menée en confrontant les résultats de simulations aux taux de fuite en air-vapeur mesurés sur la maquette lorsqu'elle est soumise à un chargement de type « accident grave » (programme expérimental COBRA mené par l'ASNR). Le doctorant devra interpréter les écarts au vu des incertitudes inhérentes à l'hétérogénéité du béton et aux incertitudes associées aux conditions d'essais.

Le doctorant développera tout au long de sa thèse une stratégie de validation à différentes échelles (éprouvette, volume de structure représentatif, maquette de structure) du modèle poro-mécanique qui sera proposé.

[Contrat doctoral] Smart Control and Real-time Operation of Photovoltaic Microgrids for Electricity Access in Africa à CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Framework: This PhD is part of the SOMSE project ‘Service-Oriented design and smart energy management of PV Microgrids for Sustainable rural Electrification’ which is led jointly by Imperial College London and the University of Paris-Saclay, CentraleSupélec, CNRS.

The PhD is fully funded, based at the University of Paris-Saclay, CentraleSupélec, GeePs laboratory and supervised by Dr Imen Bahri (Paris-Saclay, expert in energy management and control), Dr Simon Meunier (CentraleSupélec, Paris-Saclay, energy modelling) and Prof. Jenny Nelson (Imperial College London, photovoltaic systems). The PhD will start in Autum 2026.

The PhD will involve strong international collaborations. In addition to close interaction and regular meetings with the Imperial College London (UK) team, partners including the National Renewable Energy Agency (ANER) in Sénégal, the University of Nairobi in Kenya, and Lancaster University (UK) will contribute complementary expertise particularly in institutional frameworks and rural electricity uses. Regular interactions with companies, funders, and policymakers are also planned. The PhD student will benefit from research visits at Imperial College London and in Africa to work closely with local stakeholders.

Description: More than 500 million people in sub-Saharan Africa still lack access to electricity, which significantly constrains socio-economic development. The rapid decline in photovoltaic (PV) costs has enabled the deployment of standalone PV microgrids as a promising low-carbon solution for rural electrification. However, their long-term economic viability often remains limited, as they typically power low-revenue domestic loads and rely heavily on costly battery storage to address the mismatch between solar generation and demand.

Expanding PV microgrids to supply electricity for wider community services (e.g., water, health) and productive uses (e.g., milling, small-scale artisanal activities) introduces loads that better align with solar generation profiles. Many of these uses can also generate higher revenues, thereby improving the economic viability of PV microgrids. In addition, they are often compatible with demand-side strategies such as load shifting, enabling consumption to be scheduled during periods of high solar availability.

The development of real-time energy management strategies for PV microgrids is key to fully leveraging these new services, as it enables a better coordination between available solar generation and electricity demand. By dynamically scheduling flexible uses and anticipating solar resource variability, such approaches can reduce reliance on battery storage, improve overall system efficiency and lifetime and decrease the cost of electricity provision.

The aim of this PhD is to develop advanced control and energy management strategies for PV microgrids integrating communal and productive electricity uses in rural contexts. The project will combine machine-learning-based solar irradiance forecasting adapted to low-connectivity environments, advanced control techniques (such as robust and predictive control), and smart scheduling of electricity uses. The work will also explore service-level flexibility, leveraging physical buffers such as water tanks or cold storage to decouple energy use from service delivery.

A major challenge will be to ensure that the proposed methods remain robust to uncertainty (e.g., forecast errors, variable demand) while being implementable on low-cost, resource-constrained systems. The developed approaches will be experimentally validated in the laboratory and tested through case studies in Kenya and Senegal, demonstrating their impact on costs, performance, and service provision.

Additional information about the PhD will be provided during the interview.

Open science, Impact & Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) : To maximise accessibility, Python will be the primary computational tool used throughout the PhD, all developments will be shared in open-source and dissemination activities for local stakeholders will be carried out. The PhD will deliver openly available advances for PV microgrid planning and operation, provide actionable insights to microgrid designers and operators and support evidence-based decision-making for policymakers. The PhD directly contributes to UN SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and supports associated goals, including SDG 6 (Clean Water), SDG 3 (Good Health) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), by enabling access to essential services through sustainable energy systems.

[Contrat doctoral] Magneto-Mechanical Coupling under Rotational Magnetization: From Multi-Scale Modeling to Non-Destructive Stress Evaluation in Ferromagnetic Steels à INSA Lyon

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Residual and applied stresses strongly influence the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic steels through magnetoelastic coupling. Classical magnetic techniques (e.g., Barkhausen noise, incremental permeability) under unidirectional configurations provide indirect stress indicators but are limited by anisotropy and irreversible domain-wall mechanisms [1].

Recent advances, such as Magnetic Rotational Permeability (MRP [2]), reveal that rotational magnetization enables access to alternative magnetization processes (notably 90° domain wall motion, coherent rotation), offering new routes for stress-sensitive magnetic signatures.
However, the quantitative link between the measured electrical response (induced voltage, complex impedance) and the mechanical stress state remains only partially understood. Bridging this gap requires a combination of accurate constitutive equations (for instance based on multi-scale magneto-mechanical approaches), advanced simulation (for instance based on the finite element method), multiphysical characterization of materials and precision instrumentation.

The objectives of the PhD project are :

_ Exploit a multi-scale model for magneto-mechanical coupling in steels under rotational magnetization conditions, linking local stress to domain-scale magnetic energy and macroscopic magnetic permeability.

_ Implement the coupled constitutive equations using GetDP [3] or COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate the rotational magnetization under stress.

_ Develop and optimize rotational magnetization-based eddy-current instrumentation capable of detecting small stress-induced magnetic variations in the near-surface region.

_ Design coils and excitation protocols optimized for surface stress sensitivity (by controlling field amplitude, frequency, and penetration depth).

_ Implement MRP measurements under controlled stress (uniaxial and residual).

_ Validate the model with experimental MRP data.

_ Identify and calibrate magnetic indicators correlating with residual stress.

_ Establish a quantitative correlation between electrical signatures (complex voltage, permeability tensor) and mechanical stress distribution in the top layer of steels.

_ Propose non-destructive testing procedure for stress quantification using rotational magnetization.

[Contrat doctoral] MITIS (MITs pour l’Isolation Intelligente des aimants Supraconducteurs) à Université Lorraine

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Contexte scientifique

Les grands aimants supraconducteurs sont au cœur de technologies critiques telles que la fusion, les accélérateurs, le stockage magnétique de l’énergie et certains systèmes électriques de forte puissance. Leur densité d’énergie et leur performance reposent sur une maîtrise fine des phénomènes électromagnétiques, thermiques et de protection en régime transitoire.

Les systèmes d’isolation conventionnels restent essentiellement passifs. S’ils assurent une séparation électrique robuste, ils peuvent aussi limiter les chemins de redistribution du courant et d’évacuation thermique lors d’un quench (transition locale de l’état supraconducteur à l’état résistif). Dans ce contexte, le concept de smart insulation vise à introduire une fonctionnalité supplémentaire dans l’isolant, afin qu’il participe activement à la protection du système.

Verrou scientifique et opportunité

Parmi les familles de matériaux candidates, les oxydes de vanadium (VxOy) présentent un intérêt particulier en raison de leurs transitions métal-isolant, de leurs propriétés thermoélectriques et de la possibilité d’ajuster leur comportement par la composition, la microstructure et le procédé d’élaboration. L’enjeu consiste à identifier des compositions et des architectures compatibles avec les contraintes des aimants supraconducteurs, puis à démontrer leur intérêt à l’échelle matériau, composant et système.

La thèse se situe ainsi à l’interface entre science des matériaux, supraconductivité appliquée, électrothermie et modélisation multiphysique. Elle a pour ambition d’établir un lien direct entre synthèse, caractérisation, intégration et validation fonctionnelle d’un concept de smart insulation pour aimants supraconducteurs.

Objectifs de la thèse

L’objectif général est de développer et d’évaluer une nouvelle génération d’isolants intelligents à base d’oxydes de vanadium pour la protection active des aimants supraconducteurs.

identifier les compositions VxOy les plus pertinentes pour une activation électrique ou électrothermique dans la fenêtre de température d’intérêt ;
élaborer et optimiser les matériaux en jouant sur la synthèse, la densification, la microstructure et les interfaces ;
mesurer les propriétés structurales, microstructurales, électriques et thermiques nécessaires à l’évaluation du concept ;
intégrer les matériaux retenus dans des démonstrateurs représentatifs de smart insulation ;
injecter les propriétés mesurées dans des modèles électrothermiques et multiphysiques afin de quantifier leur impact sur la protection des aimants.

Programme de recherche envisagé

Le travail doctoral pourra s’articuler autour de quatre axes complémentaires :

Axe 1. Synthèse et sélection matériau. Exploration de différentes compositions VxOy et de différentes voies d’élaboration, par exemple traitements thermiques sous atmosphère contrôlée, voies hydrothermales ou procédés de densification adaptés.
Axe 2. Caractérisation structurale, microstructurale et fonctionnelle. Les matériaux élaborés seront étudiés par diffraction des rayons X, microscopies, analyses thermiques et mesures de transport électrique et thermique en fonction de la température.
Axe 3. Mise en forme et intégration dans des démonstrateurs. Les composés retenus seront intégrés sous une forme compatible avec un usage réel : couches fonctionnelles, interfaces actives ou coupons représentatifs de smart insulation.
Axe 4. Modélisation multiphysique et validation système. Les propriétés mesurées seront introduites dans des modèles analytiques et numériques afin d’évaluer l’effet du matériau sur la redistribution du courant, l’échauffement local, la tension de bobine et la protection globale en régime de quench.

Profil recherché :
Le ou la candidate devra disposer d’une solide formation en science des matériaux, physique de la matière condensée, génie électrique, génie des procédés ou domaine voisin. Un goût prononcé pour le travail expérimental et interdisciplinaire sera particulièrement apprécié. une expérience en synthèse de matériaux inorganiques ou en caractérisation physicochimique ; une familiarité avec les mesures électriques et thermiques en fonction de la température ; un intérêt pour la modélisation multiphysique, la supraconductivité appliquée ou les matériaux fonctionnels ; de bonnes capacités de rédaction scientifique, d’autonomie, de rigueur et de travail en équipe.

[Contrat doctoral] Corrélations et intrication de photons pour la spectroscopie quantique avancée à Institut d'électronique de microélectronique et de nanotechnologie

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Contexte scientifique

L’essor et le développement des technologies quantiques reposent sur notre capacité à contrôler, générer et manipuler les états quantiques de particules suivant les concepts d’intrication et de superposition et ainsi former des bits quantiques ou Qubits. Ces piliers constituent un socle pour le développement des capteurs quantiques, de protocoles de communication sécurisés, de systèmes de cryptage. La mise en place et le développement de telles applications a ainsi entrainé une course aux émetteurs « parfaits », i.e. des émetteurs capables de produire de façon déterministique des photons uniques indiscernables ou des paires de photons intriqués.

Des photons uniques peuvent être produits par des processus non linéaires dans des matériaux, notamment des sources déterministes basées sur des points quantiques semi-conducteurs et des sources probabilistes via la conversion paramétrique spontanée (SPDC) ou le mélange à quatre ondes spontané (SFWM). Les sources à points quantiques présentent des avantages en termes de pureté et de luminosité, mais elles rencontrent des défis significatifs pour des applications pratiques, tels qu'une accordabilité spectrale limitée, un couplage dispositif-fibre avec pertes et la nécessité d'un refroidissement cryogénique. À l'inverse, les sources SPDC et SFWM sont intéressantes grâce à leur fonctionnement à température ambiante, la haute qualité des photons générés et des coûts de préparation et de maintenance relativement faibles. Les flux importants de paires de photons générés par les SPDC permettent d’envisager l’utilisation de ces sources pour le développement de techniques de spectroscopie utilisant l’intrication, e.g. réalisation d’imagerie quantique.

Objectifs de la thèse

Le projet de thèse vise à développer une plateforme expérimentale permettant caractériser finement les sources de photons unique ou de paires de photons mais également de développer de nouvelles techniques de spectroscopies, basées sur l’intrication en polarisation, pour améliorer ces caractérisations (temps d’acquisition, amélioration du rapport signal/bruit).

Dans un premier temps, les propriétés d’émission de nanoparticules semiconductrices colloïdales individuelles seront explorées par spectroscopie optique confocale à différentes températures (de 1.5 K à 300 K) et sous champs magnétique intense (< 9T). Nous nous intéressons également aux corrélations de photon pour caractériser les sources de photons (photons unique, cascade de photons,…) et ensuite aux propriétés de ces flux de photons (indiscernabilité, intrication/corrélations) via des expériences de type Hong-Ou-Mandel.

Dans un second temps, les paires de photons issues d’une source SPDC ou de cascade radiative de quantum dots seront utilisées pour développer une spectroscopie de type « heralded » afin d’améliorer le rapport signal/bruit et obtenir une résolution temporelle accrue.

Profil recherché :
Formation : Master 2 (ou équivalent) en physique, optique quantique, nanophotonique ou science des matériaux. Compétences : Connaissances solides en optique quantique, spectroscopie et manipulation de photons uniques. Expérience en laboratoire (montage expérimental, caractérisation optique, cryogénie). Maîtrise des outils d’analyse de données (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW). Qualités personnelles : Autonomie, rigueur et goût pour le travail expérimental. Capacité à travailler en équipe et à communiquer en anglais (écrit et oral).

[Contrat doctoral] AI-based cryo-EM approach to develop and evaluate small proteins to regulate the master regulator of cellular homeostasis (joint PhD with the University of Melbourne) à Sorbonne University, IMPMC-UMR 7590

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

This project focuses on VCP/p97, a key protein that acts as a master regulator of cellular homeostasis by extracting and unfolding damaged or unwanted proteins for processing and removal [1]. Defects in VCP/p97 function are linked to several neurodegenerative and muscle diseases, while in cancer cells VCP/p97 activity is often exploited to cope with the unusually high burden of misfolded and abnormal proteins. VCP/p97 is also hijacked by many viruses to support key stages of viral infection, including entry, replication, and manipulation of host cell pathways.

In this project, a PhD student will apply AI‑based protein design approaches and leverage advanced computational tools to design small, custom‑made protein binders that can attach to VCP/p97 and alter its conformational dynamics and molecular function. The project will build on the MDSPACE image analysis software [2], and its application to characterising VCP/p97 dynamics [3], to analyse cryo‑electron microscopy (cryo-EM) datasets of VCP/p97 and VCP/97–ligand complexes. This will enable obtaining detailed maps of conformational states associated with mini-protein engagement, allowing assessment of how designed binders control VCP/p97 conformational dynamics. By combining computational protein design with biochemical experiments and high‑resolution cryo-EM, the project aims to reveal how these binders reshape the structure and behaviour of VCP/p97. This work will improve our understanding of how essential protein machines are regulated in cells and may help inform future strategies for selectively targeting proteostasis pathways in neurodegenerative disease, cancer, and viral infection.

[Contrat doctoral] Development of methods for cryo-EM image analysis and protein docking to elucidate binder-induced conformational changes (PhD cotutelle with the University of Melbourne) à Sorbonne University, IMPMC-UMR 7590

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

This PhD project aims to develop advanced software solutions for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data analysis, modeling conformational heterogeneity, and identifying optimal binding candidates, by integrating image analysis and docking across multiple structural states. The new tools will be validated through their application to VCP/p97 data, a key protein that plays a central role in cellular homeostasis by extracting and unfolding damaged or unwanted proteins for their degradation [1]. The project will build on the image analysis software MDSPACE, which produces detailed maps of the conformational states of biomolecular complexes from cryo-EM images [2,3].

MDSPACE will be used to obtain a detailed map of the conformational states of VCP/p97, induced by nucleotide binding and miniprotein engagement. In parallel, a new docking software, MDSPACEdock, will be developed to enable rapid docking of potential ligands across the full conformational ensemble obtained by MDSPACE, rather than a single static structure. This multi-state docking approach will be based on a scoring function combining shape complementarity and approximate binding free energy in order to rank binding candidates while accounting for structural flexibility. By applying MDSPACEdock to wild-type VCP/p97 conformations obtained by MDSPACE from cryo-EM images, the project will identify the main binding candidates as well as their preferred binding conformations, thereby providing mechanistic insight into ligand–VCP recognition.

More broadly, the project will deliver computational tools and workflows for biomolecular conformational analysis from cryo-EM integrated with ligand selection, which will be applicable to other dynamic protein complexes.

[Contrat doctoral] Non-Hermitian Topological Acoustic Metamaterials for Robust Wave Control à Institut Jean Lamour - CNRS - Université de Lorraine

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

The paradigm of topology has profoundly impacted condensed matter physics in recent years. This paradigm has been successfully extended to photonics and acoustics. A key outcome is the emergence of topologically protected edge, surface, and corner states, which exhibit remarkable robustness against defects and disorder.

This framework has been enabled by phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials which are engineered structures offering unprecedented control over wave propagation. In acoustics, their macroscopic nature and experimental accessibility provide an ideal platform to explore novel wave phenomena while targeting concrete technological applications. Topological acoustic systems already enable robust waveguiding, delay lines, and offer strong potential for phononic circuits immune to fabrication imperfections. In elastodynamics, they support defect-immune guided modes relevant for optomechanics, on-chip acousto-optic modulation, and acoustic information processing. More broadly, these concepts open perspectives for high-performance sensing, vibration and noise control, energy localization and harvesting, as well as advanced biomedical ultrasound technologies where robustness and wave confinement are essential.

The topology of Hermitian systems is now well established. Introducing gain, loss, or non-reciprocity leads to non-Hermitian physics where topology is more delicate. However non-Hermitian systems exhibit phenomena that have no equivalent in Hermitian systems.

The objective of this PhD is to explore the interplay between topology and non-Hermiticity in acoustic metamaterials through the design, modeling, and experimental realization of novel structures supporting higher-order topological states and non-Hermitian skin effects. The candidate will develop active control strategies based on gain/loss engineering and non-reciprocity, and investigate generalized bulk-boundary correspondence in realistic systems. Ultimately, this work aims to establish new paradigms for manipulating sound and vibrations, with impact on phononic technologies, acoustic signal processing, computing, and next-generation ultrasound systems.

[Contrat doctoral] Développement de nouvelles approches pour la réparation d’outils de coupe destinés au béton. à Université Bourgogne Europe, Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne, UMR CNRS 6303

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

Contexte et objectifs :

Les fabricants d’outils de coupe investissent significativement dans la recherche et le développement afin d’adapter leurs produits aux exigences de différents secteurs, notamment celui du béton, tout en maîtrisant leur « empreinte matières » dans une logique d’économie circulaire. Les besoins d’une plus grande précision, de temps de cycle réduits, et de qualité de perçage sont les principales améliorations recherchées, avec une contrainte de réparabilité permettant de limiter l’impact environnemental. Dans cette perspective, le Laboratoire Commun NARCA souhaite répondre à un ensemble de besoins techniques, scientifiques et industriels autour de la problématique de la réparation d’outils de coupe basée sur des procédés innovants. Le laboratoire ICB et l’entreprise DIAGER mettront en commun leurs connaissances et savoir-faire en s’appuyant sur l’expertise du laboratoire ICB en matériaux et procédés ainsi qu’en durabilité des matériaux, et celle de DIAGER dans le développement et la fabrication d’outils de coupe à haute valeur ajoutée. Ce Labcom se concrétisera par la mise en place de procédés éprouvés pour la réparation des outils de coupe (forets) commercialisés par l’entreprise DIAGER. Ces procédés s’appuieront sur des techniques avancées de métallurgie des poudres, combinées à de moyens de modélisation et à des de tests de contrôle robuste. Des solutions basées sur l’Intelligence Artificielle (IA) et l’Internet des Objets (IoT) viendront soutenir le développement de ces procédés. Elles permettront d’apporter une aide à la décision en facilitant le choix du couple matériau/procédé le plus adapté en fonction des caractéristiques spécifiques à chaque foret à réparer.

Travaux de recherche doctorale :

Le travail de thèse porte sur la mise au point de procédés de réparation destinés aux gammes d’outils de coupe dédiés au secteur du béton. Un verrou important relève de la nature des matériaux concernés par la réparation : acier sur acier (queue et tête des pics et burins et queue de forets) ou acier/WC-Co sur acier (tête WC-Co des forets). L’objectif

sera de proposer, à terme, une solution industrialisable intégrant toutes les précautions nécessaires à la fabrication d’un foret reconditionné. Le travail de thèse est organisé en deux volets principaux :

V1 : Etude comparative de différents procédés de rechargement

Ce volet permettra d’identifier le ou les procédés de rechargement susceptibles de répondre aux contraintes relatives au type de réparation acier sur acier. L’analyse comparative portera sur les procédés PTA (Plasma Transferred Arc), CS (Cold Spraying) et WAAM/WLAM (Wire Arc/Laser Additive Manufacturing). S’ajoutera la nécessité pour l’industriel de maitriser les coûts et de diminuer l’impact environnemental. Le recours aux procédés basés sur l’utilisation de poudres offre la possibilité de tirer profit des rebuts de fabrication. Le département PMDM (Procédés Métallurgiques, Durabilité, Matériaux) du laboratoire ICB dispose d’une installation d’atomisation qui permet une revalorisation de ces rebuts afin de les transformer en poudre destinée aux procédés de réparation par projection thermique utilisés lors de cette thèse.

V2 : Optimisation d’assemblage acier/carbure

Le travail de reconditionnement des outils implique aussi une optimisation d’un procédé d’assemblage acier/carbure déployé cher DIAGER, dont le principal verrou est imputable aux problématiques de formation d’interfaces chimiquement complexes. Ce volet vise alors à comprendre et maîtriser les phénomènes interfaciaux qui prévalent (diffusion élémentaire, précipitation d’oxydes/carbures/secondes phases …) lors de la réparation des têtes de forets (WC-Co/acier). Ce volet fera l’objet d’une attention particulière dans le cadre de cette thèse.

[Contrat doctoral] Quantum electrodynamics for relativistic quantum chemistry à Laboratoire de Chimie Théorique, Sorbonne Université & CNRS

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

As part of the collaborative mathematics/chemistry project MaQuI, we are hiring a PhD student (3
years) to work on questions related to quantum electrodynamics (QED) applied to quantum chemistry.
QED is, in principle, the most fundamental and precise physical theory to incorporate relativistic
effects in quantum chemistry. However, practical methods for performing systematic calculations
based on this theory for realistic molecular systems do not yet exist.
The project aims to develop new electronic structure methods, in particular within the framework
of density functional theory (DFT), based on a variational formulation of QED.
The work may involve several complementary aspects:
• Theoretical and formal developments to derive new electronic structure methods from QED;
• More applied methodological developments, including the treatment of renormalization in a finite
basis;
• Software implementation and development, integrating the newly developed methods into quan-
tum chemistry codes.

Working Environment: The PhD student will be hosted at the Laboratory of Theoretical Chemistry, Sorbonne University and CNRS (4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris). The PhD student will work primarily with Julien Toulouse (Sorbonne University and CNRS) and in collaboration with mathematicians Mathieu Lewin (CNRS and Université Paris Dauphine–PSL) and Éric Cancès (École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, CNRS and Institut Polytechnique de Paris).

Starting Date: From 01/10/2026

Profil recherché :
Master degree in theoretical chemistry or physics (or a related field such as applied mathematics), with strong skills in quantum mechanics and a keen interest in interdisciplinary interactions with mathematicians.

[Contrat doctoral] Caractérisation des mécanismes radiolytiques dans les systèmes eau tritiée – zéolithe en condition d’entreposage à CEA/Saclay

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

Contexte scientifique et enjeux

La gestion des effluents tritiés constitue un enjeu majeur pour les installations nucléaires, en particulier pour les activités liées au tritium au sein du CEA de Valduc. Ces installations génèrent des effluents liquides sous forme d’eau faiblement tritiée, dont la faible activité volumique ne permet pas une valorisation directe. Leur stockage sous forme liquide posant des contraintes opérationnelles fortes, une stratégie alternative consiste à immobiliser cette eau par adsorption dans des matrices solides de type alumino-silicates, notamment des zéolithes 4A, conditionnées en conteneurs étanches.

Dans ce contexte, la compréhension fine des phénomènes physicochimiques se produisant au cours de l’entreposage à long terme est cruciale. En particulier, l’auto-radiolyse de l’eau tritiée confinée dans les pores nanométriques des zéolithes génère des espèces gazeuses (H₂, O₂) et des intermédiaires réactifs dont le comportement reste encore partiellement compris. Ces processus conditionnent directement la sûreté du stockage.

Les travaux menés ces dernières années ont permis des avancées significatives. Des observations expérimentales ont notamment mis en évidence un phénomène inattendu de recombinaison des gaz radiolytiques (H₂ et O₂) lorsque la zéolithe est partiellement hydratée (en dessous d’un seuil d’environ 13 %). En parallèle, des approches de modélisation (DFT, dynamique moléculaire, Monte Carlo cinétique) ont permis de mieux comprendre les sites d’adsorption, la mobilité des espèces et leur probabilité de rencontre dans la matrice poreuse. Ces études suggèrent l’existence d’un seuil critique d’hydratation au-delà duquel la diffusion des gaz devient fortement limitée, ce qui impacte directement les mécanismes réactionnels.

Cependant, ces travaux reposent majoritairement sur des systèmes idéalisés, éloignés des conditions réelles d’entreposage. Par ailleurs, les modèles développés restent encore peu contraints par des données expérimentales directes sur les mécanismes réactionnels en milieu confiné.

Objectifs de la thèse

L’objectif principal de cette thèse est de replacer l’expérimental au cœur de l’étude de la radiolyse confinée, afin de réduire l’écart entre approches fondamentales et conditions opérationnelles.

Le projet s’articule autour de trois axes principaux :

1. Caractérisation des matériaux réels de stockage
Une étude approfondie de la zéolithe utilisée industriellement sera menée. Ce matériau, sous forme de billes incorporant un liant (probablement argileux), présente une complexité structurale encore peu explorée. L’objectif sera d’en déterminer les propriétés structurales, texturales et chimiques, ainsi que leur influence sur l’adsorption de l’eau.

2. Simulation expérimentale de la radiolyse en conditions confinées
Des systèmes modèles seront développés en laboratoire, basés sur l’adsorption d’eau non tritiée dans les zéolithes, puis soumis à irradiation externe afin de reproduire les effets de la radiolyse du tritium. Ces expériences permettront de suivre la formation, l’évolution et les interactions des espèces radiolytiques dans un environnement contrôlé mais représentatif.

3. Identification des mécanismes réactionnels à l’échelle moléculaire
Un ensemble de techniques avancées sera mis en œuvre pour sonder le système de manière in situ et multi-échelle :

La RMN multinoyaux (¹H, ²⁹Si, ²⁷Al, ²³Na, ¹⁷O) permettra d’accéder aux environnements chimiques de la charpente, de l’eau confinée et des produits de radiolyse. L’utilisation d’eau enrichie en ¹⁷O offrira une sensibilité accrue aux interactions eau–zéolithe.
La résonance paramagnétique électronique (RPE) permettra de détecter et de caractériser les espèces radicalaires transitoires (par exemple HO^•), potentiellement impliquées dans les mécanismes de recombinaison.

Retombées attendues

Les résultats attendus sont à la fois fondamentaux et appliqués :

Une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes de radiolyse en milieu confiné, au cœur des problématiques de chimie sous rayonnement et d’effets de confinement.
L’identification des paramètres clés contrôlant la formation, la diffusion et la recombinaison des espèces gazeuses.
La production de données expérimentales originales permettant de contraindre et d’améliorer les modèles prédictifs développés précédemment (DFT, DM, KMC).
Des recommandations concrètes pour optimiser les conditions d’entreposage de l’eau tritiée (taux d’hydratation, formulation des matériaux, conditions de stockage).

Environnement scientifique

La thèse se déroulera principalement au sein du laboratoire NIMBE (UMR CEA–CNRS 3685) à Paris-Saclay, reconnu pour son expertise en physicochimie des matériaux, chimie sous rayonnement et caractérisations multi-échelles. Le doctorant bénéficiera d’un environnement expérimental de pointe et d’un encadrement pluridisciplinaire.

Le projet s’inscrit dans une collaboration étroite avec le CEA de Valduc, qui apportera son expertise sur le tritium, ses composés et les problématiques industrielles associées au stockage. Des interactions régulières entre les équipes permettront d’assurer une forte cohérence entre recherche académique et enjeux opérationnels.

Profil recherché :
Le (la) candidat(e) doit avoir des bases solides en chimie physique, chimie des matériaux et en techniques magnétiques (RMN et RPE). Le (la) candidat(e) doit posséder de la rigueur, de la curiosité, du goût pour l’expérimentation, l’instrumentation et du sens critique.

[Stage] « Etude de l’ablation de matériaux plastiques par un arc électrique » à Laboratoire LAPLACE UMR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

Introduction

Les plasmas d’arc se rencontrent dans de nombreuses applications et systèmes. Dans les systèmes on peut noter ceux de protection tels que les disjoncteurs basse tension et les parafoudres. Lors de leur fonctionnement un arc électrique est créé conduisant à la présence d’un gaz ionisé à haute température (" 10kK). Cet arc se déplace sous l’action de différentes forces vers une chambre de coupure sur des durées de l’ordre de la milliseconde. Nous nous intéressons ici au cas d’un parafoudre avec une onde impulsionnelle de courant 8/20ms suivie d’un courant de suite de l’ordre de " 100A. En se déplaçant, le plasma à haute température vient « lécher » les parois plastiques du boitier engendrant un milieu gazeux ensemencé de vapeurs organiques. Ces vapeurs ont pour conséquences principales de changer les propriétés du milieu et ainsi de modifier la tension du système et d’augmenter la vitesse de déplacement. Dans les études théoriques engagées ces dernières années sur les parafoudres y compris dans la communauté scientifique, ces vapeurs ne sont pas prises en compte. Le stage consistera donc à mettre en place les briques essentielles à leur incorporation dans les modélisations.

Sujet Proposé

Après une étude bibliographique (Jalon 1) pour se familiariser avec les systèmes de parafoudre, l’étudiant rassemblera les données (propriétés thermodynamiques, coefficients de transport, propriétés radiatives) relatives au POM (matériau organique constituant le boitier) (Jalon 2). Dans une configuration simplifiée, il utilisera les outils de l’équipe pour représenter un plasma d’arc confiné par des parois (Jalon 3). Il élaborera une prise en compte du bilan au niveau du POM (essentiellement flux par conduction et par rayonnement) et proposera un modèle d’érosion (Jalon 4). La composante radiative étant prépondérante la méthode DOM ou hybride devra être mise en œuvre et les caractéristiques du milieu comparées à celles obtenues par la méthode du coefficient d’émission nette (Jalon 5). Les bases du modèle de vaporisation seront implémentées (Jalon 6). Le milieu sera de l’air plus ou moins ensemencé en POM suivant l’intensité mise en jeu. L’étudiant pourra s’appuyer sur l’expertise de l’équipe AEPPT et des ingénieurs de chez CITEL.

Possibilité de poursuire en thèse

Ces travaux se poursuivront sur une thèse en collaboration avec la société CITEL.

[Stage] « Influence des vapeurs métalliques sur le déplacement de l’arc » à Laboratoire LAPLACE UMR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

Introduction

De nos jours, il existe plusieurs types de configurations technologiques dont le fonctionnement implique la génération d’un plasma thermique par arc électrique établi entre deux électrodes. C’est le cas des torches à plasma thermique ainsi que des dispositifs de coupure du courant transitoire : les disjoncteurs à haute et basse tension et les parafoudres. Dans le cas particulier de la coupure basse tension et des éclateurs à gaz (parafoudre), les enjeux concernent : l’augmentation de la tension de l’arc et son extinction le plus rapidement possible par limitation du courant.

Dans la littérature, la majorité des études théoriques et expérimentales sur la coupure basse tension est dédiée à l’étude des phénomènes physiques liés au déplacement de l’arc et à sa segmentation au niveau de séparateurs métalliques. Cependant, une faible importance est accordée aux effets que pourrait engendrer l’émission de vapeurs métalliques issues de l’érosion ou de l’ablation des électrodes par l’arc électrique.

La conception de dispositifs de coupure performants repose sur la compréhension des phénomènes physiques liés au déplacement de l’arc mais également à la compréhension de l’influence de l’interaction de l’arc avec les électrodes impliquant l’émission de vapeurs métalliques. Ces vapeurs métalliques viennent ensemencer le milieu plasma changeant ainsi ses propriétés. Du fait de leur faible potentiel d’ionisation, ces vapeurs métalliques ont tendance à augmenter la conductivité électrique du plasma facilitant ainsi les phénomènes de claquages de l’arc au niveau des zones en proche voisinage des électrodes. Ces phénomènes de claquage peuvent avoir un impact non négligeable sur le déplacement de l’arc pouvant parfois même compromettre le bon fonctionnement du dispositif. L’étude et la compréhension de leur influence sur les caractéristiques du plasma demeurent donc indispensables.

Sujet Proposé

La première partie du stage sera consacrée à une étude bibliographique (approches théoriques et expérimentales) sur les travaux relatifs à l’influence des vapeurs métalliques sur le comportement d’un arc dans l’air. Une synthèse des conclusions principales sera fournie.

Dans un second temps, l’étudiant(e) se familiarisera avec les outils de modélisation de l’équipe AEPPT (Icem et Fluent). L’apprentissage s’effectuera via une configuration d’arc libre qu’il s’agira de reproduire. Au préalable l’étudiant devra se familiariser avec la méthode des volumes finis.

La dernière partie du stage sera consacrée à l’étude de l’influence des vapeurs métalliques sur une configuration simplifiée constituée de deux rails parallèles.

Si le temps le permet, l’étudiant(e) participera à des compagnes expérimentales permettant de mettre en évidence les vapeurs métalliques et leur influence sur le comportement du plasma.

Possibilité de poursuire en thèse : Oui

[Autre] Rowland Fellowship à Harvard University - Rowland Institute at Harvard, FAS

Thu, 21 May 2026 17:53:09 +0200

The Rowland Institute at Harvard seeks outstanding early-career experimentalists in all fields of science and engineering. The Rowland Fellowship provides an opportunity to establish an independent program in the rich intellectual environment of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

To qualify, applicants should currently be in the process of either completing their PhDs and/or have received their PhD after May 1, 2025. Fellows must have completed their doctoral degree prior to starting their Fellowship term.

Edwin Land founded the Rowland Institute of Science in 1980 to foster high-risk, creative research. In 2002, we became the Rowland Institute at Harvard when we joined the University with the mission of advancing the early careers of experimental scientists and engineers. In 2024 we moved from our original building to main campus to be closer to collaborators and university resources. In our founder’s tradition, we are particularly interested in supporting scholars who have the potential to establish a ground-breaking research program in a field that bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries. Previous Rowland Fellows have gone on to extremely successful careers, mostly in academia, but also in industry and as founders of startup companies.

The benefits of a Rowland Fellowship include:

Fellows will have full principal investigator rights and will establish their labs in an interdisciplinary and interactive environment, in the rich intellectual environment of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Fellows will be provided with dedicated laboratory space, and ancillary spaces as needed (ex. tissue culture); generous start-up funding for capital equipment, depending on the Fellow’s research program; a yearly budget starting at $225,000 for general operations (lab supplies, travel, etc.) and the hiring of personnel (postdoctoral fellows, postbacs, undergraduates); and, a salary that begins at $89,999 per year with full Harvard benefits.
Fellows may have the opportunity to teach undergraduates during their Fellowship, to enable contact with students (ideally in an active research setting, rather than in a classroom), both to help Fellows recruit talented students to their labs and to provide teaching experience that will help them in any career they choose.
Staff scientists and engineers are available to work directly with Rowland Fellows to design and fabricate new experimental set-ups. Shared research equipment is available at facilities within the Institute and also throughout Harvard University (e.g. the Center for Nanoscale Systems, and the Bauer Life Science Core Facility).
Fellows will receive mentoring to develop a productive lab culture, support for scientific writing and budgeting, alongside ongoing support for career development throughout the Fellowship period, including leadership training and access to Harvard’s Core for Mentorship Excellence. The Fellowship lasts up to five years, with a flexible start date; incoming 2027 Rowland Fellows will have start dates July – December 2027.

How to Apply

Only applications submitted through the Harvard Careers website will be considered for the position.

Application Information

Applicants should upload the following materials:

a 250 word “elevator pitch” to describe your research goals to a general audience,
a Statement of Research (three page limit including references), describing your research proposal and, if relevant, a summary of any recent work that supports the planned experiments,
a curriculum vitae (CV),
a Vision Statement (one page limit) to describe how your personal values and experiences in academia inform your plan for a productive and supportive culture within your group,
and, contact information for three or four references (automated emails will be sent requesting letters of recommendation direct to your references that includes their submission deadline.)

Deadline

2027 Rowland Fellowships: The deadline for applications is Saturday, August 1, 2026 at 11:59PM EDT.

Timeline for the Rowland Fellowship application process:

Applications are due August 1, 2026
- Letters of recommendation are due August 15, 2026
September 2026: applicants who do not meet the eligibility criteria will be notified by email.
October 2026: Candidates are contacted for a first-round Zoom interview, and unsuccessful candidates will be notified by email.  
November 2026: Finalists come to the Institute for a two day interview.
- Day 1: Candidates participate in a symposium, and give a brief presentation on both past and proposed research.
- Day 2: Candidates will interview with current Rowland Fellows, Rowland staff, and the admissions committee.
December 2026: Selection decisions are made and finalists are informed

Some notes about applications:

Your application need not be completed and submitted in one sitting; you can log back in at a later time to make additions and changes.
When your application is completed and submitted, instructions will automatically be sent to these referees about submitting their letter of recommendation, with a deadline of two weeks. (You might want to alert your referees earlier via email that the automated letter request is coming, so that they have more time to complete it.)
Once completed and submitted, you cannot revise your materials. If you do need to submit a revised version after submittal but before the deadline, please email rf@g.harvard.edu and we will reactivate your account so you can submit the revised version.
Please declare use of AI tools in your application and describe their use. Importantly, their use should not replace your original thinking. The required materials seek to elicit responses that reflect your personal experience and unique motivations and should be written in your own voice. Hence, caution is advised against using AI-generated materials as-is: admissions committees can often sense AI-written materials because they lack personal nuance and can be rather vague in the details.

Eligibility

To qualify for the 2027 cycle, applicants should currently be in the process of either completing their PhDs and/or have received their PhD after May 1, 2025. Fellows must have completed their doctoral degree prior to starting their Fellowship term.
Your proposed research must be experimentally focused in any field of science or engineering – including physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, neuroscience, etc.
The program accepts applications from such a broad range of fields that the research conducted by current and past Fellows can be used as a guide, but should not be considered restrictive! We choose Fellows based on the best proposed science at the time of submission. That said, we cannot support human subjects research or clinical research of any type, as our fellowship is designed to enable Fellows from multiple disciplines to share overlapping laboratory spaces.
We encourage applicants from the broader scientific community; candidates can apply from any accredited academic institution whether in the United States or internationally.
US Citizens and non-citizens are eligible for appointment as Rowland Fellows. The staff at the Rowland Institute and Harvard University can assist you in the visa process if needed.
Please email rf@g.harvard.edu if you have questions regarding eligibility or the application.

Tue, 12 May 2026 17:53:16 +0200

The sixth application round for the German-Israeli Max Planck-Weizmann Postdoctoral Programme will end on 1st July 2026

The Max Planck Society (MPG) and the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) jointly offer outstanding postdoctoral researchers in the fields of life sciences, natural sciences and social and human sciences a prestigious four-year appointment in a unique research environment.

Max Planck-Weizmann Postdoctoral Programme

About the programme

The cooperation between the MPG and the WIS offers talented researchers the opportunity to participate in innovative projects, benefit from the expertise of two renowned institutions and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective subjects. The German-Israeli Max Planck-Weizmann Postdoctoral Programme thus supports scientific cooperation and interdisciplinary research in both countries.

Highlights of the programme

Duration: The Max Planck-Weizmann Postdoctoral Programme is designed for four years, with half of the time spent at the MPG and half at the WIS. The recommended time distribution between the institutes should not be less than one year. In exceptional cases, a shorter period at one institution may be considered, provided there is scientific justification and upon the committee's approval. The country split allows the postdocs to benefit from the expertise and resources of both institutions and to gain a comprehensive and broad research experience. Over four years, the postdocs will be able to conduct in-depth research and complex experiments, and thus publish relevant contributions in their respective fields.

Position: The selected candidates will receive a four-year appointment, which will allow them to fully concentrate on their research projects. The employment contracts are concluded according to German guidelines and take into account the postdoc's level of experience. Successful candidates will be assigned to pay grade 13 of the TVöD (German Public Sector Collective Agreement), subject to meeting the applicable personal and contractual requirements.

The individual levels are as follows:

Level 2: 67,311.33 € per year

Level 3: 72,800.84 € per year

In exceptional cases, it may be possible to enter at level 1 (62,489.15 € per year), depending on the candidate's previous work experience.

Global Research Collaboration: The selected postdocs have the opportunity to collaborate with leading scientists of the MPG and the WIS. This programme fosters a global research network that promotes the exchange of ideas, expertise and diverse perspectives.

Travel and conference funds: Scientific networking and dissemination of research results are important. Under the programme, postdocs receive up to 3000 euros per year for conferences, workshops and seminars that enable them to present their work, exchange ideas with peers and make important professional contacts.

Full benefits package: the selected postdoctoral fellows will receive a full benefits package including relocation expenses, health, nursing, pension and unemployment insurance, as well as access to institutional resources and state-of-the-art research facilities.

Housing allowance: Employees are eligible for a housing allowance during their stay at WIS in Israel.

Application process

Applicants for the joint MPG-WIS postdoctoral programme should note the following:

The PhD degree or doctorate should have been obtained no more than 4 years ago.
Contact researchers at the MPG (participating Max Planck Institutes from the Biological and Medical Section [BMS], the Human Sciences Section [HSS], and the Chemistry, Physics and Technology Section [CPTS]) and the active project in which researchers from both institutions can serve as joint hosts.
Submit a detailed CV including your academic background, research experience, list of publications, awards and other relevant information on your research area.
Each application requires at least three letters of recommendation (one of which should come from the doctoral supervisor, if possible). These letters should be from people who are familiar with your research and can assess your potential as a postdoctoral researcher in your field.
Letters of support from the MPG and WIS guest scientists (this can be a joint letter), including assurance of co-financing by the institute for the duration of the stay at the MPI. The position of the Postdoc will be financed 50 percent by central funds for the time at the MPI, the other half should be financed by institute funds.
Project outline explaining the research project and its collaborative nature between MPG and WIS (limited to two pages).
A statement of the planned division between the institutes (MPG and WIS) for the duration of the four years. This should indicate at which institute (MPG or WIS) you will start your four-year assignment.

After you have completed the questionnaire and clicked on "Submit Application", you will receive an email confirming your application. Please note: This email also contains links for each of the reviewers you have indicated. You can send each reviewer his/her own link with which he/she can access the system and submit the letter of recommendation.

[Autre] Chief Executive Officer à American Astronomical Society

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:53:10 +0200

Founded in 1899, the American Astronomical Society (AAS) is the leading professional organization for astronomers and astrophysicists in North America, dedicated to advancing the discovery and understanding of the universe. With a membership of roughly 9,000 individuals, the Society brings together researchers, educators, students, science professionals, and amateur enthusiasts from across astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science, and closely related disciplines, as well as colleagues in fields such as physics, mathematics, geology, and engineering.

Central to the AAS mission is supporting the professional lives of astronomers at every career stage. The Society organizes a well-defined annual cycle of scientific meetings and conferences that serves as the primary convening platforms for the field. This includes both a winter meeting, held annually and representing the largest gathering of astronomers worldwide, as well as a summer meeting that offers a more focused forum featuring lengthy oral sessions on specific topics. Together with a robust series of topical conferences organized in partnership with the Society’s scientific divisions, these meetings provide essential opportunities for sharing new research, building collaborations, and engaging in dialogue around emerging challenges and opportunities facing the astronomical sciences. Complementing this convening role, AAS provides a broader suite of professional and workforce support services, including the AAS Job Register, professional skills workshops, and targeted programming designed to support career development across academic, industry, and nonacademic pathways.

The AAS also publishes many of the field’s most influential peer-reviewed journals and community resources, including The Astronomical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal Letters, The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, The Planetary Science Journal, and Research Notes of the AAS, and has transitioned its journals program to a fully open-access model with support mechanisms to promote equitable participation in scholarly publishing. Separately, the AAS owns and publishes Sky & Telescope, a flagship magazine serving amateur astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts worldwide.

Additionally, as the field’s principal advocate to the federal government, the AAS maintains a sustained and influential public policy program. The AAS engages Congress and federal agencies on issues affecting astronomical research, education, and the scientific workforce, with a particular focus on research funding, science policy, and the responsible use and protection of the space environment. Through direct advocacy, congressional briefings, coalition partnerships, and structured opportunities for member participation, the Society aims to amplify the voice of the astronomical community and helps shape policy decisions critical to the long-term vitality of the field. In parallel, the AAS connects members and partners to education and public engagement efforts, serving as a conduit for coordinated community action that advances teaching and scientific literacy, broadens participation in astronomy and astrophysics, and strengthens connections between research and the public.

Together, these activities position the AAS as the central institution shaping the scientific, professional, and policy landscape of the astronomical sciences. Deeply member-oriented by design, the Society’s work is guided by a significant volunteer structure, including elected leaders, divisions, committees, and working groups, which reflect the breadth of the community and extend the AAS’s reach well beyond its staff. Through its convenings, publications, career resources, and advocacy, the AAS seeks to influence the culture of astronomy, domestically and internationally, ensuring the field is well-positioned to address future challenges.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

As a nonprofit, nonpartisan scientific society, the American Astronomical Society (AAS) is headquartered in Washington, DC with an office in Cambridge, MA. The Society is supported by a professional staff of forty-six employees. In 2025, the AAS reported overall revenues of approximately $23.4M, with an annual operating budget of $20.5M. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees and the Strategic Assembly, a leadership body responsible for setting the Society’s long-term strategy. The Board of Trustees is led by President Dr. Dara Norman and President-Elect, Dr. Marcel Agüeros.

Amid a period of rapid change across the scientific and research enterprise, the AAS seeks a strategic,mission-driven Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to serve as an inspiring advocate for the discipline, the Society, and its members, ensuring that the astronomical field is effectively championed within an increasingly complex research, education, and policy environment. Partnering closely with the Board of Trustees, the CEO will help shape and advance the Society’s vision, develop organizational strategy, and support the public policy structure in a way that strengthens the field while elevating the AAS’s visibility and impact – particularly through its leadership in education and public engagement and its ability to connect these efforts to foster community-wide action. The CEO will supervise, coordinate, and direct the activities, programs, and staff of the AAS—including all financial, administrative, and programmatic operations such as meetings, publications, educational and member services, and partnerships. The CEO will also serve as a key spokesperson to members, policymakers, funders, media, and allied organizations.

Durée : 5.5 mois

1) Contexte & objectifs

- Les CSR montrent une forte variabilité (plastiques, papiers/cartons, textiles, fraction fine, etc.) et un enjeu majeur de déchloration/qualité des produits.

- Comparer la pyrolyse en réacteur fermé et lit fluidisé éclaire l’effet du temps de séjour des vapeurs et de la température sur rendements, composition des gaz/huiles, et qualité du biochar.

- Des zéolithes (ex. HZSM-5 modifiée) sont pertinentes pour aromatisation/déchloration des huiles issues de CSR ¹.

Objectifs spécifiques

Recherche biblio : Cartographier la composition de CSR et leurs produits de pyrolyse (huiles/gaz/char)².
Caractérisation multi-techniques (ATG (proximate–ultimate), bombe calorimétrique, DRX, FTIR, SEM-EDS, porosité BET…).
Travail expérimental : Expérimenter en réacteur fermé et en lit fluidisé : prétraitements (dont déchloration), effets T et temps de séjour des vapeurs (VRT), et étude catalytique sur zéolithe modifiée.

2) Programme de travail

2.1. Recherche bibliographique (sem. 1–3)

CSR/SRF : définitions & classes (EN 15359), variabilité, contaminants (Cl, métaux) ; filières d’usage.
Prétraitements/déchloration (lavage, Ca(OH)₂, traitements thermiques) & catalyse zéolithique (HZSM-5, versions nano/hiérarchiques, dopages).

[Contrat doctoral] Modelling the impact of rock fractures, alteration, and mineral composition on rock properties in deep geothermal context à Université de Lyon / ENTPE

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 17:53:05 +0200

Context:

The propose study addresses socio-economic and environmental challenges of using soil and subsoil resources, particularly in the context of the energy transition. Nowadays, a key focus is on deep geothermal energy, which relies on the ability of underground rock formations to store and transmit thermal fluids effectively. High-enthalpy geothermal systems depend on the quality of reservoir rocks, which is governed by, for instance, their porosity, fracture structure, permeability, and fluid circulation. All of which are influenced by the rock structure and mineral composition, as well as its possible evolution. This is particularly the case for rock-fluid interaction in porous or fractured rocks, possibly leading to rock damage, alteration, and porosity/mineral variation (e.g. dissolution, precipitation, etc.). For instance, the precipitation of minerals (e.g. clay) tends to reduce hydraulic permeability, affecting fluid circulation and the efficiency of geothermal systems.

Objectives and method:

The main objectives of the research are to:
- Integrate fracture structure and mineral composition into the assessment of hydromechanical rock
properties.
- Model the evolution of mineral content due to alteration processes.
- Predict the impact on reservoir behaviour and geothermal production at larger scales.

To achieve this, the study will develop a theoretical and numerical multiphysical (TH(MC)) model that links microstructural properties to macroscopic rock behaviour. This geomechanics and rock mechanics work will be realised using finite element modelling approaches (e.g. Comsol MultiPhysics).

Profil recherché :
Candidate profile: Candidates can apply for a 3-year PhD scholarship at University of Lyon (ENTPE engineering school, LTDS laboratory, Lyon, France).

The 3-year project will give the applicant opportunities to develop various technical skills (advanced numerical methods, poromechanics, elastoplasticity, damage approach, etc.) and to integrate a dynamic geomechanics network having a large experience in numerical modelling. The successful applicant will use and improve coupled non-linear finite element models, based on experimental data. The ability to communicate orally and write in English is required and international mobility is encouraged.

[Contrat doctoral] DevSecMLOps: Security-by-Design for Trustworthy Machine Learning Pipelines à IRIT, Université de Toulouse

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 17:53:05 +0200

Context

Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) has become essential to managing the lifecycle of machine learning (ML) models, enabling continuous delivery, automation, and reproducibility. However, the rapid adoption of MLOps has advanced more quickly than the integration of robust security practices. Traditional software security practices—such as static analysis, dynamic scans, and vulnerability assessments—are well established, but ML pipelines present additional unique security concerns [1] [2]. For instance, ML systems face risks like adversarial attacks, model poisoning, training data compromise, drift, and injection attacks [3]. Additionally, privacy and compliance challenges—such as protecting personally identifiable information (PII) during data ingestion and model training—introduce further complexity that traditional security methods often overlook [4]. This suggests that machine learning models require security controls tailored to their lifecycle, from data collection to training, deployment, and monitoring. Current MLOps practices lack comprehensive built-in security mechanisms tailored to ML-specific risks and are fragmented: they either target specific threats, lack end-to-end traceability across the pipeline, or introduce prohibitive overhead that undermines the agility promised by MLOps. This has given rise to the emerging field of DevSecMLOps, which aims to extend the principles of DevSecOps [5, 6] to machine learning systems, ensuring both agility and security in AI-based applications.

The core problem is therefore the absence of a unified, systematic, and pipeline-wide approach to integrate security-by-design into MLOps pipelines. We lack frameworks that can:

Embed security requirements explicitly into ML workflows from the start,

Continuously enforce and monitor these requirements across all pipeline stages, and

Adapt to evolving threats without slowing down the pace of deployment.

Without such an approach, organizations risk deploying AI systems that are performant but fragile, exposing them to critical security and privacy breaches.

Objectives

The PhD will investigate the foundations and practical mechanisms of DevSecMLOps. The specifics of security in MLOps will mainly concern privacy. Users of ML-based solutions are legitimately concerned about the future of their data (e.g., where it is stored and who has access to it), and data anonymization is a key concern. The other facet of security (e.g., who is responsible in the event of a security problem?, how to ensure that ML models are robust against attacks and cannot be used maliciously) will also have to be taken into account. The research will focus on embedding security requirements directly into ML workflows, ensuring that threats such as data poisoning, adversarial manipulation, and privacy leakage are anticipated and mitigated early. It will also explore AI-driven automation to support continuous security checks, balancing the rigour of security with the agility of continuous delivery. The expected result is a methodological and technical framework that operationalizes security for ML pipelines, enabling organizations to deploy AI systems that are both performant and trustworthy.

Mission

The PhD candidate will conduct a comprehensive study of vulnerabilities across ML lifecycles, identify the security issues associated with current MLOPs practices, and analyze how existing DevSecOps principles can be extended to MLOps. The candidate will design security-by-design mechanisms tailored to ML workflows, from data ingestion and preprocessing to model training and deployment. These mechanisms should be developed, while acknowledging that those systems evolve rapidly. The candidate will also explore the use of machine learning for automating security checks, generating adversarial tests, and detecting pipeline anomalies. Finally, the proposed solutions will be validated through industrial case studies (from Softeam Group), demonstrating their effectiveness in mitigating threats while maintaining reproducibility and delivery speed.
