About this position
PhD opportunity in Physics, Chemistry, and Materials Science at CNRS / IPCMS, Strasbourg, France.
This PhD project is hosted by the Institut de physique et chimie des matériaux de Strasbourg (IPCMS), a joint research unit of the CNRS and the University of Strasbourg, within the CARMEN Joint Research Laboratory. The research focuses on the structural transformations of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and related multimetallic materials for thermal energy storage. The project combines materials synthesis, thermal treatments, advanced characterization, and data analysis.
The successful candidate will work in the “Nanomaterials and Electron Microscopy” team and collaborate with partners including LCMCP and IFP Energies Nouvelles. The work will use in situ electron microscopy, electron tomography, and complementary techniques such as XAS, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. A major theme is understanding phase transformations, crystal defects, atomic disorder, and reversibility during thermal cycling. The project also mentions the development of AI / machine learning methods for data processing and analysis.
Eligibility highlights: PhD or equivalent in Physics or Chemistry; basic French; no prior research experience required in the listed fields. The position is a 36-month funded PhD starting 1 Nov 2026.
Application deadline: 24 Oct 2026, 23:59 UTC.
How to apply: Use the CNRS vacancy page to submit your application. A Euraxess application/view page is also linked in the post. Apply before the deadline.
