Postdoctoral researcher – 3D numerical simulation of resin infusion in natural fibre composites

Ecole nationale supérieure des mines de Saint-Etienne · State civil service

En français : Post-doctorant·e – Simulation numérique 3D de l'infusion de composites à fibres naturelles

This job in plain words

This 12-month postdoctoral position is based in Saint-Étienne. It aims to model in 3D how resin flows through flax fibre composite parts, as part of the ANR LINEN project with several researchers from Mines Saint-Étienne.

Open to non-civil servants
