About this position
PhD opportunity in bio-based and earth-based construction materials at BUILDERS École d’ingénieurs, Lyon, France. The project focuses on the influence of drying on the mechanical and hygrothermal behaviour of cob and lightweight earth walls. It is hosted by BUILDERS Lab in collaboration with LTDS – ENTPE.
The research topic sits at the intersection of civil engineering, materials science, mechanics of materials, environmental science, and physics. The work involves characterizing raw materials, developing cob and lightweight earth formulations, producing experimental samples and wall-scale specimens, and studying drying/wetting effects on thermo-hydro-mechanical properties. The project also includes monitoring dimensional changes, cracking, shrinkage, settlement, and creep, as well as developing multi-scale modelling approaches.
This is a PhD opening with a start date in November 2026 and a duration of 36 months. The position is based in Lyon, France and offers a salary of €2,173 gross per month. The post is aimed at candidates with a Master’s degree or engineering diploma in civil engineering, materials science, mechanics of materials, or a related field. Interest in bio-based and earth-based materials is important; experimental skills are expected, and numerical modelling, finite elements, or multi-scale methods are a plus.
Applicants are asked to prepare a CV and cover letter and send them to the supervisors named in the original offer.
