About this position

IMT Nord Europe, in partnership with Valeo, is recruiting a PhD candidate for a research project on two-phase heat transfer in microchannels for electric vehicle battery cooling.

The project is based in Douai, France, and focuses on the experimental characterization of boiling and condensation phenomena in microchannels, with the goal of improving thermal management systems for next-generation EV batteries. The research also includes high-resolution experimental diagnostics and validation/improvement of CFD models for two-phase flows.

This is a fully funded PhD position with a duration of 36 months. The expected start date is between December 2026 and February 2027. The post is suitable for candidates interested in thermal engineering, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, microchannels, two-phase flow, CFD, and experimental instrumentation/data acquisition.

Eligibility highlights include a Master’s degree or engineering degree in thermal engineering, process engineering, or fluid mechanics, strong knowledge of heat transfer and fluid mechanics, and good English proficiency. Experience with CFD is considered an advantage.

To apply, prepare a CV and the documents requested by the IMT Nord Europe recruitment platform. The application deadline is 6 September 2026.

Funding details
