Quotité de travail : Complet
Rémunération : 2 571,89 €
Niveau d'études souhaité : BAC+5
Expérience souhaitée : Indifférent
BAP : B - Sciences chimiques et Sciences des matériaux
Emploi type : Ingenieure ou ingenieur en science des materiaux / caracterisation
Missions
The proposed research is part of a bilateral Franco-German project (ANR-DFG AIIM, 2022-2025) aimed at predicting the stability of intermetallic phases as AB2 Laves phases through a detailed description of their crystallographic structure, including the occupation of sites by individual mixing atoms. Artificial intelligence (AI) modeling of data calculated by density functional theory (DFT) will be used for this purpose.
Activités
The successful candidates will investigate the structural stability of topologically close-packed (TCP) phases, also known as Frank-Kasper (FK) phases. Theses intermetallic phases are important for the design of superalloys and light-weight steels that play a key role in the energy efficiency of power generation and transport. She / He will conduct high-throughput density-functional theory calculations as basis for constructing machine-learning models that explore the technologically required complexity of crystal structures and chemical compositions.
Compétences
The candidate must hold a engineer school diploma with a research profile of researcher in Material science or related disciplines (Physic/chemistry of the solid state). He/She need to have interest and background in several broad fields including theoretical methods such as programming, electronic-structure calculations, machine-learning techniques.
Contexte de travail
This work is part of an international collaborative project (PRCI), entitled Artificial Intelligence for Intermetallic Materials (AIIM), funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) in France and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in Germany.
The researcher will work at ICMPE (Thiais) under the supervision of Jean-Marc Joubert and Celine Barreteau, CNRS researchers, in collaboration with Regis Gauthier (University of Rennes) and Jean-Claude Crivello, LINK, Tsukuba (Japan).
