Job Description
Thesis Subject
A fully funded 36-month PhD position is available jointly between the University of Bordeaux (France) and UCLouvain (Belgium), offering a unique opportunity to pursue cutting-edge research in materials discovery in the frame of the ERC Synergy project GEMPROMISE.
The PhD project focuses on the high-throughput (HT) synthesis of a specific family of materials, with a strong emphasis on the development of HT characterization methods, such as X-Ray diffraction or still absorption spectroscopy, and on the development of methodologies for the analysis of the associated results assisted by DFT/machine learning.
The candidate will spend most of the time in Bordeaux with a stay of 3 months in Louvain-la-Neuve (M6 to M9) and will be co-supervised by Cyril Aymonier and Gian-Marco Rignanese. She/he will evolve in the unique environment of the ERC GEMPROMISE project.
Applicants should have a strong background in solid-state chemistry and materials science (i.e., Master's degree in solid-state chemistry, materials science or related field), with good knowledge in crystallography/crystallochemistry and some good programming (especially in Python) and machine learning skills would be appreciated. Applicants should also have a good command of English.
Your Work Environment
Created in 1995, the Bordeaux Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry (ICMCB) focuses its research on Solid State Chemistry, Materials Science and Chemistry and Process: designing, preparing, shaping and characterizing materials in order to discover, control and optimize specific functions. The ICMCB carries out fundamental research on model materials and/or materials with potential applications.
The ICMCB is a UMR with an average of 280 agents (permanent and non-permanent), with 3 tutelles, hosted by the CNRS and in total ZRR. The position is located in a sector covered by the Protection of Scientific and Technical Potential (PSTP), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that the arrival of the agent be authorized by the competent authority of MESR.
