About this position
This postdoctoral position is based at the Centre Science des Matériaux et des Structures (SMS), within the Laboratoire Georges Friedel, a joint research unit with the CNRS at the Ecole nationale supérieure des mines de Saint-Etienne. The researcher will join a materials science environment focused on the relationships between processing, microstructure, and properties, with access to advanced preparation and characterization tools and a multi-scale materials-by-design approach.
The project, VARIMA (VAlorisation des Résidus d'Incinération en Matériaux Avancés), addresses the valorization of mineral dusts generated by municipal waste incineration. While metals are already recovered and recycled, large quantities of mineral residues are still typically landfilled. The postdoctoral researcher will investigate pathways to transform these residues into advanced inorganic materials.
The work combines two development routes: a geopolymer route and a powder metallurgy route. The materials produced will be studied through extensive physicochemical and microstructural characterization, as well as assessment of their use properties, including mechanical performance, thermal behavior, and leaching resistance.
The position also involves using platform instruments such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, ICP-MS, thermal analysis, and laser granulometry to characterize and direct each dust fraction toward the most suitable processing route. During the second year of the fixed-term contract, the postdoctoral researcher will contribute to an impact study related to the developed processes.
The role sits at the interface of fundamental materials research, industrial partnership, and waste-to-materials innovation.
