Offer Description

The chair aims to design and manufacture eco-sourced, bio-sourced, or low environmental footprint materials or structures. The areas of intervention include the characterization of these materials, mechanical engineering, and the development of new processes with reduced environmental impact. The objective is to reduce carbon impact and the consumption of natural resources. Research will take place in one of the three laboratories in Grenoble:
• 3SR is recognized for its research in mechanical sciences applied to materials and structures, particularly eco-materials/structures (bio-sourced or geo-sourced) for diverse applications such as the environment, transportation, energy, health, and defense. It uses multi-scale and multi-physical methods combining experimental, theoretical, and numerical mechanics. It also develops advanced technologies for 3D imaging in mechanics (X-ray and neutron tomography) in collaboration with ESRF, ILL, and SOLEIL.
• LRP stands out for its expertise in the rheology of complex fluids, soft matter, and process engineering. It conducts research on the processes of elaboration, shaping, and characterization of eco-materials and bio-sourced materials. The approach is experimental, supplemented by modeling. The applications are in industrial sectors such as biorefining, food processing, the environment, and health.
• LTM is a joint research unit partnered with CEA-LETI and specializes in micro and nanotechnologies applied to microelectronics. It is distinguished by its unique positioning using 300mm CMOS technologies in a research and development center that addresses societal challenges related to the environment, energy, health, and the Internet of Things. Its synergy with microelectronics allows it to stay at the forefront of innovation and respond to new technology needs that are environmentally friendly.

The laboratories aim to develop expertise in eco-materials/structures and/or eco-processes for their production. Research will be carried out in disciplines related to the mechanics and/or physicochemistry of materials (in both solid and fluid states), structures, civil engineering, process engineering, nanotechnologies, and electronics. This approach allows for a comprehensive exploration of ecological materials, from their design to their manufacturing processes, while focusing on reducing environmental impact.

The project focuses on the physicochemistry and/or mechanics of materials and structures, nanotechnologies, and electronics, with a priority on eco-materials with a low environmental footprint. Objectives include the development of materials derived from plant biomass that are easily recyclable and biodegradable, such as those based on cellulose, wood, straw, or bamboo. It also includes geo-sourced materials and structures with a low environmental impact. The project aims to design new processes for the production and shaping of these materials by controlling the organization and orientation of the building blocks. It strives to reduce energy consumption by optimizing manufacturing processes. The project explores innovative solutions to limit the use of critical materials in microelectronics (e.g., replacing lead in PZT and reducing the use of fluorinated gases for plasma etching). The work will be valorized through technology transfer.

Candidates must propose a teaching project (28 hours of lectures or 42 hours of practical or directed work) related to the theme of the junior professor chair Ecomat. The teaching will be conducted within the programs offered by the academic partners of the site, particularly master's level courses, and all pedagogical methods will be considered. This teaching project will be discussed and finalized after the recruitment process with the academic oversight of the laboratories, specifically the University Grenoble Alpes. Through the numerous GDR and GIS in which the targeted laboratories are involved (for example, GDR BOIS, DUMBIO, FIBMAT…), thematic schools will also be set up to train both young and experienced researchers in concepts related to eco-materials/structures and/or eco-processes.

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project's socio-economic and cultural eco-system.

holders of a doctorate or a PhD or equivalent degree or applicants who have gained scientific. There is no restriction on the age or nationality of applicants. All CNRS positions are accessible to people with disabilities, with special arrangements for tests made necessary by the nature of the disability.
