Job Offers

Feel free to send an email as we are always looking for candidates

  • (2026) A postdoc position (24 months) is available within my research group at CNRS/University Grenoble Alpes (France) and Institute Laue Langevin (France). The work deals with the modeling of heat transport and dispersion in nanoporous materials (FRA/BRA project HTD-POM). This work is related to our recent work on "Thermal Conductivity of a Fluid-Filled Nanoporous Material: Underlying Molecular Mechanisms and the Rattle Effect" (2024). A more detailed presentation can be obtained upon request by email.

  • (2026) A PhD student position (36 months) is available at IFP Energies Nouvelles with C. Nieto-Draghi, C. Chizallet, and T. De Bruin in collaboration with my research group at CNRS/University Grenoble Alpes (France) and Institute Laue Langevin (France). The work deals with the theory and molecular modeling of reactive transport in nanoporous materials. This work is performed within the context of the CARMEN2 Lab that is a common lab between IFP Energies Nouvelles, CNRS and several major universities in France (including Univ. Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble). A more detailed presentation can be obtained upon request by email.
