Offer DescriptionDescription:We are looking for candidates interested in applying for the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship and joining our research group at La Rochelle University, a member of the European university EU-CONEXUS, in France, in 2024.About the university:La Rochelle Université is widely recognized internationally at the highest level in training and research, following disciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches, around a unique signature in France and abroad on the mart Urban Coastal Sustainability” (LUDI in french).The LUDI Institute focuses its efforts on the scientific niches in which La Rochelle Université has already gained international recognition and will extend them in an interdisciplinary and systemic vision.The LUDI Institute also aims to respond to a major societal and economic challenge by targeting studies on the quality of life of populations living in coastal areas strongly impacted by global climate change.Thus, the environmental transition is addressed from the perspective of integrated coastal zone management. The issues associated with the energy transition are addressed in close relation to the notions of sustainable construction and transport. Digital transformation, a major challenge in the evolution of our societies, is a strong element in the rapprochement of the so-called “hard” sciences and the humanities. The human and social sciences, at the heart of the LUDI Institute, are working on what “living in an urbanised coastline” means, combining the themes of the environment, sustainable construction and transport, and digital technology with a view to the livability and comfort of coastal urban spaces. This desire to provide answers to the challenges of tomorrow is also reflected in the support provided to public policies and in a strong European presence through the EU-CONEXUS European University.About the group:Hydrogen embrittlement has been the primary focus of the PI's group for over a decade. And many works have been performed experimentally as well as numerically at different scales in time and space. The hydrogen embrittlement team has set up the hydrogen embrittlement axis. There were 15 PhD theses supported and completed and 8 are in progress on this topic. This subject is of interest to many industrials who are partners through PhD allocations, post-doc or internships such as Vallourec, IFP renewable energy, Technip, CETIM, EDF, Safran, AREVA, Naval Group, Arcelor ... Also, many French government projects ANR were obtained by the team within this scope as well as international collaboration projects (USA, Canada, Japan, Europe). The working group has developed experimental knowledge with innovative test benches with(out) mechanical stresses making it possible to explore the impact of metallurgical heterogeneities on the transport and segregation of hydrogen through experimental measurement. The characterization approach includes electrochemical technics, microscopy, and mechanical. In order to better understand the meaning of experimental values extracted from global flow and / or dosing measurements, we have developed analytical and numerical tools (FEM, ab ignition, DFT) integrating scale transitions.Your Profile
