Missions
Researcher in the physics and mechanics of soft materials to develop and supervise experimental research on the flow of cohesive granular media.
Activities
Predicting powder flows remains a major challenge for many industries. While our understanding of dry granular materials has progressed significantly, the presence of adhesive interaction forces in powders makes their behaviour more complex. The recruitment of this post-doc is part of the European ERC project CohPa aimed at improving our understanding and modelling of powder flows. The post-doc will be responsible for developing experiments in different flow configuration (incliend plane, rotating drums), with a focus on instabilties and phase transitions that may occur. The postdoc will also be responsible for supervising students.
Skills
A knowledge influid mechanics and solft matter physics will be welcome.
A taste for experimental development in close collaboration with numerical and teoretical people.
Ability to supervise students.
Ability to work in a team.
Work Context
The post-doctorate will take place within the SOFT axis of the IUSTI laboratory, a collaborative team working on the physics of complex matter, from granular media to bio-inspired systems. https://iusti.cnrs.fr/la-recherche-a-liusti/milieux-divises-et-fluides-complexes-axe-mdfc/
The project will be carried out in close collaboration with the International Laboratory IRL-CNRS, IFADyFE in Buenos Aires, and the group of F. Rocha.
