PROFESSOR IN METALLURGY

À propos de nous

The Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris (MINES Paris) is one of the most prestigious engineering schools in France and the leading school in terms of the volume of industry-oriented research. The Ecole des Mines de Paris trains general engineers through an innovative, multidisciplinary educational experience, in which the engineering sciences and the human and social sciences are closely linked. This dual culture is further strengthened by its membership of PSL University, which is ranked in the top 50 in international rankings, and provides a genuine opportunity to enrich one's career path.

Mines Paris is a public institution of a scientific, cultural and professional nature (EPSCP), under the supervision of the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty.

Mission

Your environment :

The Centre des Matériaux (https://www.mat.minesparis.psl.eu/): around 60 staff members and 100 students (master and PhD programs, postdocs). It is organized into three research teams and six technical platforms, focusing on manufacturing processes and the resulting mechanical behavior of materials, using both experiments and modeling.

Your challenges and responsabilities :

As a member of the GEM research team, you drive and supervise multiscale studies of relationships between processing, microstructure, and in-service properties. You focus on physical and chemical mechanisms that govern microstructural evolutions, either during processing or in service.

You train and supervise PhD students regarding the analysis of physical phenomena (such as thermal history, phase transformations, residual stresses and strains) that govern the genesis of microstructures, during both manufacturing and post-processing.

Your favorite research tools: microstructural characterizations such as microscopy and XRD; experimental, theoretical and numerical tools dedicated to thermokinetics of phase transformations.

You develop your own research, in close collaboration with the economic world, you publish in best-ranked journals and dedicated international conferences. You build and coordinate local, national and international research projects addressing microstructural evolutions and in-service properties.

You actively participate to the academic network (national research clusters) and to the international scientific influence of the laboratory.

You coordinate, practice and develop teaching focusing on physical metallurgy and phase transformations, on new dedicated to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students. You supervise academic projects, interns, as well as PhD students. You participate to enrolment of students, and to the management of teaching activities. You develop the executive education offer, especially, in metallurgy and materials science.

Profil
