Call for candidates for an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship in the field of Macroscopic Physics, Energetics and Physics of fluids and materials

IRPHE as host institution

IRPHE is a research institute in fundamental macroscopic physics in Marseille. Research projects typically involve combined experimental, numerical and theoretical studies of complex systems where stability and nonlinear effects play a role in their self-organisation, dynamics or structuration. Applications of its research concern many fields ranging from industrial flows and processes to health and biological systems, geophysical and astrophysical flows, and the environment.

IRPHE is also active in European programs such as (ERC) and (MSCA) and would welcome applications from excellent researchers within its axis “Energy and Materials”.

Research projects in our group focus on the interplay between energetical processes and mechanical deformations or flows. The energy transfer can be either from chemical reaction, like in combustion where hydrogen-air flame instabilities are studied, or from phase transition, like solidification of solutions with particles, or from mechanical stress, like shell deformations under gravity and heterogenous media fragmentation with propagation of cracks. The analysis are based on the observation of the dynamics in controlled situations allowing quantitative measurement and modelling.

Keywords

Chemical reaction, combustion, phase transition, materials deformation and fragmentation.
