PhD in Nonlinear Acoustics for Characterization of Ceramic Matrix Composites ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab in France

ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab is offering a PhD position focused on the use of nonlinear acoustics for the characterization of ox/ox ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). The research will involve training in mechanics, acoustics, materials science, or non-destructive testing (NDT), with a strong emphasis on experimentation, modeling, and data analysis. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in advanced materials characterization and the application of nonlinear acoustic techniques to composite materials. The project is supervised by Jesús N. Eiras, a Research Engineer at ONERA, and is based in Châtillon, Île-de-France, France. Applicants are encouraged to have a background in relevant fields and a passion for hands-on research and analytical work. The position is advertised under the reference MAS-DMAS-2026-15, and further details can be found on the ONERA thesis and post-docs portal. Funding details are not specified in the announcement. Interested candidates should apply through the official ONERA application system and are encouraged to share the opportunity within their networks.
