About this position
CEA is advertising a postdoctoral position in modelling, CFD, and experimental development of an innovative absorption injector in France, based at CEA LITEN – INES Site, Le Bourget-du-Lac. The project covers the full research cycle from physical modelling to prototype development and experimental validation.
The postdoc will work on simplified 0D thermodynamic and hydrodynamic models, advanced multiphase and multi-species CFD simulations, injector prototype design and manufacturing, and operation of an experimental test bench for thermo-hydraulic characterisation. The role also includes analysing results, validating numerical models against experiments, publishing in international journals, and contributing to patent applications.
Relevant academic areas include Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, CFD, multiphase flows, energy systems, and experimental thermal/fluid systems. Experience with absorption systems, ammonia-water mixtures, injectors/ejectors, or phase-change phenomena is beneficial. A PhD is required, along with strong English and the ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary research environment.
This is a research-intensive postdoc focused on sustainable cooling and energy transition technologies, with access to advanced numerical and experimental facilities and opportunities for publications and patents.

What's required
A PhD in Energy Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Process Engineering, or a related field is required. The candidate should have a strong background in thermodynamics and energy systems, multiphase flows and fluid mechanics, CFD and numerical modelling, experimental thermal or fluid systems, scientific programming, and data analysis. Experience with absorption systems, ammonia-water mixtures, injectors/ejectors, or phase-change phenomena is an advantage but not mandatory. Good written and spoken English is essential, and the researcher should be creative, proactive, able to work independently, and comfortable in a multidisciplinary environment.
