The University of Tours, in collaboration with CNRS and INSA Centre Val de Loire, is offering a fully funded PhD position in the GREMAN laboratory, focusing on molecular dynamics simulations of the influence of ferroelectric topological structures on thermal conductivity. The research will explore how domain walls and their orientations in ferroelectric materials, particularly perovskites like BaTiO3, affect thermal transport properties. The project will use advanced simulation techniques to stu...

A fully funded PhD position is available at the University de Lorraine (Archives Henri Poincaré, Nancy, France) in the philosophy of science, focusing on explanatory progress and degrees of understanding in mathematical and mathematized sciences. The doctoral research will investigate how explanations and understanding of scientific phenomena can be gradably improved, especially when these phenomena are described by established theories, laws, or models and explored using mathematical methods. C...

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity to work on the development of acousto-plasmonic biosensors through a joint supervision (cotutelle) program between the Institut Jean Lamour (IJL) at University of Lorraine, France, and the Laboratoire Nanotechnologies Nanosystèmes (LN2) at University of Sherbrooke, Canada. The project is supported by the French Space Agency (CNES) and focuses on the design, simulation, fabrication, and characterization of hybrid acousto-plasmonic metasurfaces for hig...

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity for international joint supervision between the Institut Jean Lamour (IJL) at University of Lorraine (France) and the Laboratoire Nanotechnologies Nanosystèmes (LN2) at University of Sherbrooke (Canada). The research focuses on the development of hybrid acousto-plasmonic metasurfaces for high-sensitivity, label-free cell biosensing, combining surface acoustic waves (SAWs), localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), and photothermal effects into a m...

This PhD opportunity at ESPCI Paris - PSL focuses on the development of innovative electrochemical microelectrode arrays for the treatment of seawater to capture and valorize CO2, contributing to the energy transition and negative-emission strategies. The project, supervised by Prof. Loïc Assaud and Dr. Alexandr Oshchepkov, is based at the Institute of Porous Materials of Paris (IMAP) and the Institute of Chemistry Biology Innovation (CBI), leveraging advanced laboratory infrastructure and inter...

This fully funded PhD position at the University of Rennes (IETR, UMR CNRS 6164) in France focuses on the analysis and design of advanced electromagnetic (EM) periodic structures—such as metasurfaces and dichroic devices—for next-generation space applications. The project is a collaboration between IETR, CNRS, and the French Space Agency (CNES), and aims to push the boundaries of electromagnetic design for satellite communications and Earth observation systems. The research will address the chal...

The GREMAN laboratory at the University of Tours, in collaboration with CETHIL and international partners, is offering a PhD position focused on molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the influence of ferroelectric topological structures on thermal conductivity. The research will center on perovskite materials such as BaTiO3, exploring how domain wall number and orientation, temperature, and system geometry (bulk, thin film, membrane, super-lattice) affect thermal transport properties. Th...

An exciting fully funded PhD position is available in the field of experimental fluid dynamics, microfluidics, geophysics, and geosciences at the Institut des Sciences de la Terre d’Orléans (ISTO), University of Orleans, France.
