About this position

?? What if you could make invisible fractures... visible?

PhD opportunity to push the frontiers of ceramic materials research, where science meets imaging at the micrometer scale. This isn’t just a PhD—it’s a deep dive into the real-time 3D world of how materials break under extreme heat.

?? PhD Position Open – Experimental Imaging of Fracture in Ceramics
?? CNRS – PPRIME Institute (Poitiers, France)

In the heart of the EU-funded THEFRAMIC project, you'll develop groundbreaking experimental setups to observe how microcracks grow and interact during thermal shock events. Using X-ray tomography, digital volume correlation, and high-speed thermal tests, your work will help shape the digital twins of ceramic fracture behavior.

?? If you’re passionate about:

Cracking complex mechanical problems (pun intended),

Working with cutting-edge imaging tools (think synchrotrons like SOLEIL and ESRF),

Collaborating with global leaders like Saint-Gobain and SAFRAN...

…then this PhD might just be your next chapter.

?? Eligibility: MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or Physics.
?? Bonus: curiosity, experimental drive, and a love for seeing the unseen.
?? Start: Fall 2025
?? Mobility, mentoring, and industry connections included.

?? Ready to shape the future of ceramic design?
