About this position
PhD opening in actinide chemistry, nuclear chemistry, and materials science at the Unité de Catalyse et de Chimie du Solide (UCCS), Lille, in partnership with Orano. The project builds on the CIMEND team’s work on actinide/lanthanide co-conversion and focuses on an innovative thermal denitration (TDN) wet-route co-conversion process for uranium + lanthanide (Nd/Ce) surrogates.
The research aims to understand oxide mixture homogeneity and how it affects pellet properties in the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle, with relevance to MOx fuel fabrication and powder metallurgy. The post explicitly notes that the work involves hands-on handling of uranium-bearing materials and waste management.
This is a 36-month PhD contract with a minimum salary of €2,300/month. The post requires Doctorat-level entry. The deadline is 17 August 2026 at 23:59, and the start date is listed as 05/10/2026.
Apply via the CNRS candidature portal using the provided application link. If you are interested in nuclear chemistry, actinide chemistry, materials processing, and fuel-cycle research, this is a relevant doctoral opportunity in France.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
