Offer Description
Position description:
Missions :
This interdisciplinary project aims at developing a new type of membrane and process for seawater desalination. It will be divided into 4 axes: the production of ZnO nanowire membranes, their surface functionalization, the study of their resistance to biofouling, and studies of membrane life cycle and process performance. Building on our preliminary results, the candidate will carry out the program described above in collaboration between the LMGP, G-Scop and Liphy laboratories.
Scientific and technical activities :
-Production of self-supporting membranes made of inorganic nanowires
-Surface functionalization of these membranes to control their wettability
-Characterization of membranes -Study of biofilm formation on membrane surfaces during use
-Study of biofilm degradation efficiency by photocatalysis
-Comparative life-cycle analysis of membranes produced and marketed reverse osmosis membranes, and assessment of seawater desalination process yields.
Related activities :
-Supervision of students (Master ...)
-Dissemination and presentation of results (publication of articles and presentations at international conferences)

Skills/Qualifications
Skills
The candidate must have an experimental profile in materials science.
Experience in life cycle analysis is desirable but not essential. -Knowledge of materials science, particularly sol-gel and liquid solution chemistry.
-Proficiency in experimental materials characterization techniques (SEM, XRD, AFM, etc.)
-Experience in measuring surface wettability properties and photocatalysis
-Rigor, autonomy and interdisciplinarity
-Fluency in English and excellent presentation and writing skills
Specific Requirements
