About this position

BUILDERS Engineering School is offering a PhD in Civil Engineering within the BUILDERS Lab Research Unit in Caen, Normandy, France. The doctoral research addresses the mechanical performance, durability and environmental impact of concrete structures through the development and optimization of fiber-reinforced concretes.

The project will investigate how the nature, dosage, geometry and distribution of fibers affect concrete properties. The doctoral researcher will characterize concrete constituents and fibers using physical, chemical and mechanical methods, formulate fiber-reinforced concretes, and assess compression, tensile, flexural and post-cracking behavior. The work will also examine crack initiation, propagation and opening, fiber-based stress transfer, and the effects of thermal and moisture cycles, aging and aggressive environmental agents.

A further focus is the short- and long-term behavior of materials, including shrinkage, creep and changes in mechanical properties. The researcher will develop or apply numerical models to reproduce material behavior and cracking, comparing simulations with experimental observations. Larger-scale tests on structural elements or prototypes will support validation of laboratory findings and their transfer to real construction applications.

The thesis has a strong industrial dimension through collaboration with a construction-sector company. In-situ testing will compare laboratory results with real implementation and service conditions, including scale effects and manufacturing constraints. The work forms part of the FIBCOP project and is situated within BUILDERS Lab’s cluster on the short- and long-term behavior of materials and structures.

The doctoral researcher will work under the direction of Nassim Sebaibi, Head of the Research Unit, and the supervision of Bechara Haddad, teacher-researcher and coordinator of pole 3. The BUILDERS Lab research environment covers innovative multiphase materials, material transfer and degradation, material and structural behavior, climate adaptation, and maritime and coastal infrastructure resilience, with opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration.

Funding details

The doctorate is supported by other private funding through the FIBCOP project. The advert does not specify a stipend amount, tuition coverage or other financial benefits.

What's required

Applicants should hold a Master's degree or engineering degree in civil engineering, materials science, materials mechanics or a related field. An understanding of research methods, including experimental design and modeling, is expected. Candidates should have analytical skills, experience processing experimental data and the ability to use modeling tools. Teamwork, particularly in inter-institutional collaboration, rigor, autonomy in conducting experiments and managing data, innovation, and problem-solving skills for cementitious materials are desired.
