Postdoc: Multi-Scale Hybrid Ice/Hydrate Freezing in Foods

Université Grenoble Alpes; France; Sur place; EUR 28 000 - 39 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Université Grenoble Alpes invites applications for a post-doctoral position at the 3SR Laboratory in Grenoble to develop a multi-scale model for hydrate/ice freezing in foods. The project combines thermodynamics, kinetics, X-ray tomography, and numerical simulations to predict hydrate formation and distribution in porous matrices.

The role requires PhD and expertise in multi-physics modeling, with access to COMSOL Multiphysics.

Qualifications

• PhD in Engineering, Materials or Physics or equivalent.
• Experience with numerical modeling of coupled transport and phase-change phenomena.
• Strong communication and teamwork in a multidisciplinary project.

Responsabilités

• Develop a multi-scale model to simulate mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and phase change in foods.
• Implement models in a finite element code (COMSOL) to define optimal hybrid freezing scenarios.
• Collaborate with experimentalists and partner laboratories to validate simulations.
