Delignified & Densified Wood: Towards a novel architected bio-based material with high specific mechanical properties

3SR and CERMAV laboratories are looking for a candidate for a 12-month post-doctorate on Delignified & Densified Wood: Towards a novel architected bio-based material with high specific mechanical properties

Descriptif

Context: The proposed offer is part of a CNRS research project which includes two academic partners from CNRS and Univ. Grenoble Alpes, i.e., 3SR lab and CERMAV. The recruited person will work within a research group of four senior researchers (C. Dano, Y. Nishiyama, L. Orgéas, S. Rolland du Roscoat) from these labs and one PhD student, experts in the fields of mechanics of materials, 3D imaging and glycoscience.

Location: the postdoc project will be mainly located at 3SR Lab, a solids mechanics research lab of the CNRS and the Univ. Grenoble Alpes (Grenoble, France, https://3sr.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/), with strong interactions with CERMAV. Some of the experiments will be carried out at the European Synchrotron Research Facilities (ESRF, Grenoble), i.e., for mechanical tests with 3D in situ imaging using the X-ray tomographs of the BM18/BM05 beamlines.

Duration and starting date: 12 months, October/November 2024

Salary: around 2800€/month
