Fully Funded PhD in Mixed-Anion Thermoelectric Materials at CRISMAT – ENSICAEN CRISMAT – ENSICAEN in France

CRISMAT – ENSICAEN (ENSICAEN – CNRS – University of Caen Normandy) is recruiting a fully funded PhD student for a 36-month project on mixed-anion thermoelectric materials in Caen, France. The project focuses on the synthesis of new thermoelectric materials, crystal structure determination, and characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD/DRX), electron microscopy, and spectroscopy. The doctoral research will also include measurements of electrical and thermal properties and the correlation betw...

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, offers a PhD position focused on in situ neutron diffraction for green steel and functional metal oxides. The successful candidate will join the diffraction group at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), working with powder diffractometers D1B and D20, which are specialized for time-resolved in situ investigations of solids, phase transitions, and chemical reactions. The project centers on elucidating reaction pathways for hydro...
