About this position

PhD opportunity in radiation physics, infrared methods, thermal sciences, and materials science within the MSCA COFUND doctoral programme Between Earth and Sky.

The project is hosted between ICA Toulouse and the Von Karman Institute, with collaboration between research teams in France and Belgium. The research topic is “Measurement of the Surface Temperature of Materials Exposed to Radiative Flux” and focuses on developing infrared techniques to accurately measure the surface temperature of shield materials used in spaceships. The post also mentions subsonic plasma testing of a miniaturized Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel (COPV) for demise investigations at VKI.

This is a fully funded PhD contract offering international research collaboration, access to high-level scientific facilities, and opportunities for mobility and networking. The work sits at the interface of fundamental research and practical aerospace applications.

Eligibility: applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent. The MSCA mobility rule applies: candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity in France for more than 12 months during the 36 months before the deadline.

Deadline: 23 November 2026. Start date: September 2027.

Apply via the University of Toulouse portal and consult the detailed subject page for full information.
