MINES ParisTech-CEMEF, a leading research laboratory in France, is offering a number of exciting doctoral and post-doctoral research fellowship opportunities for the 2024/2025 academic year.
These prestigious fellowships span various thematic research areas and are open to talented international students looking to advance their academic careers.
About the MINES ParisTech-CEMEF Fellowships
Every year, CEMEF provides post-doctoral opportunities focused on complex physical and digital themes within its core research domains.
These projects aim to either deepen knowledge and techniques relevant to industrial contexts or explore more upstream, exploratory topics.
The diversity in the post-doctoral proposals stems from the scientific multidisciplinarity of CEMEF’s research teams. As a CEMEF research fellow, you will join and actively participate in one of the center’s research teams. While collaborating with the team, you will also have the autonomy to independently manage the research related to your specific project.
CEMEF provides fellows with the necessary computational and material resources to successfully complete their research.
Research Areas & Courses Available
CEMEF’s research activities cover a broad range of topics related to materials science, industrial transformation processes, and their practical applications. Some of the key research areas include:
- Material forming and processing (metals, polymers, composites)
- Multiscale and multiphysics modeling
- Microstructure evolution during processing
- Thermomechanical behavior of materials
- Process optimization and control
- Innovative manufacturing processes
Specific post-doctoral projects are proposed throughout the year based on industrial partnerships and ongoing research initiatives. Recent project examples include modeling of recycled PET resins in bottle blowing, optimization of fan blade manufacturing, multiscale modeling of lubrication in aluminum rolling, and more.
