Permanent positions
Postdoc & PhD
We always encourage applications from highly motivated, intelligent and hard-working students and postdoctoral fellows. Note that poorly written, obscure, and mass-mailed applications will not be considered. Concerning the PhD opportunities of the lab, only a few of them are dedicated to Soft Matter and/or Biophysics. Depending on the period of the year, you may found some of the open positions below.
Two MSCA PhD scholarship within the European project Edible Soft Matter
Two PhD positions are available within the Edible Soft Matter (ESM) project. Funded by the European Union under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (MSCA DN) programme, ESM is an international, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral network that brings together leading experts in both fundamental and applied research in soft matter and food sciences.
The application deadline is 31st of May 2025 for both scholarships. For more information on the project and on the eligibility criteria, check out the ESM website: https://edible-soft-matter.eu/.

PhD position: Coupled evolution of the physical properties of filled elastomers for smart damage detection
We seek to fill a PhD position at the physics department (Laboratoire Charles Coulomb, U Montpellier), in collaboration with IMP Lyon, on the characterization of dynamical features in filled elastomers as smart tools for early, in-situ, non-destructive detection of fatigue damage. Material failures may have catastrophic consequences, with significant management, repair, and recycling costs. A promising strategy to reduce the environmental impact is to develop new predictive maintenance methods with the aim of extending the operating time. Our project proposes the development of a methodology for the real-time electrical detection of damage in filled elastomers.
The starting date for this position is October 2024, with an application deadline on the 12th of May. More information and contact information can be found in the following PDF file.
