Postdoctoral Position: Chemical and Structural Evolution of Altered Nuclear Glasses
University of Grenoble, France
A postdoctoral position is available for the study of nuclear glass corrosion. The project is based on a detailed analysis of the chemical and structural evolution of glass interfaces that have been altered by aqueous fluids, which typically leads to the formation of altered surface layers and in situ secondary phases. The successful candidate will initially examine simple fluid-glass interfaces, followed by more complex interfaces involving glass-metal and metal-clay systems associated with simulated nuclear glass sequestration. The methodology to be used includes focused ion beam milling (FIB) for the preparation of ultrathin TEM foils, followed by micrometer to nanometer-scale chemical mapping using such techniques as TOF-SIMS and TEM (HRTEM, EFTEM, STEM-HAADF, EDX). The use of state-of-the-art high spatial resolution techniques applied to cross-sectional thin sections prepared by FIB should lead to novel results allowing for the development of more refined models describing nuclear glass corrosion and sequestration.

PhD
Location not specified
In the last 10 years microfluidics has revolutionized chemical and biological analysis, leading to high throughput DNA screening, and portable devices for toxic agents' detection. With many of these technologies now at the commercial stage, the challenge is to take full advantage of the unique effects of miniaturization by going to the nanoscale. This will lead to implantable lab-on-a-chip that continuously monitors vital health markers, delivers drugs, dramatically improving quality of care.
This project will focus on the key enabling technologies to achieve these objectives, chip miniaturization and the ability to control liquid flow at the nanoscale. You will design and fabricate a nanofluidic lab-on-a-chip to quantitatively investigate, using electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, the behaviour of liquids confined in nanometre scale channels. You will synthesize carbon nanotubes with different chemistry and surface properties to investigate how to control liquid transport through them.

PhD studies - Research Assistant
Leuven, Belgium
PhD studies at K.U.Leuven, combined with Research Assistant position at Department MTM, K.U.Leuven, in the Composite Materials Group www.mtm.kuleuven.be/Research/C2/poly.
The project offers full funding of a 4-year PhD program.
Project description: Micro-meso-macro homogenization of the fatigue degradation of textile reinforced composites
Damage model for fatigue of textile reinforced composites is developed at the micro-level. By integration of these micromechanical fatigue damage models into the finite element simulations of the unit cell of the textile composite, it is possible to calculate the degradation of the homogenized elastic properties of this unit cell. By comparison of these results with the predictions of phenomenological fatigue damage models at the meso-level, the material constants of these latter models can be determined in a physically more correct and more generic manner. The models will be implemented in software tools.
Note for non-EU applicants: the work can start with a delay of few months due to Belgian residence formalities.
NB: the funds do NOT allow hiring a post-doc.
