JOB DESCRIPTION

The job of research logistician in the field of "Visualization techniques for chemical engineering and materials characterization” within the Research Unit of Chemical Engineering of the Faculty of Applied Science.

Many measurement techniques used in UR Chemical Engineering, and generally in process engineering (chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology) and materials science, but also for example in the fields of soil science, mechanics fluids and medical imaging, are based on the acquisition or reconstruction of digital images. The range of applications and spatial scales involved is very wide: from, for example, fuel cells to urban or industrial sewage sludge, including microfluidic systems or model human or animal organs, for applications, and from the nanometer to a few tens of centimeters for scales. The techniques make it possible in particular to characterize flows, mixing and distribution of phases in homogeneous, but above all heterogeneous media.

Research Activities

• - Support, using visualization techniques, for applied research projects in process engineering and materials science carried out within the dpt/UR or outside as part of academic or industrial collaborations and services;
• - Scientific management of activities linked to advanced visualization techniques available within the UR with a view to optimal exploitation of the equipment (development of measurement protocols, processing and exploitation of data and modeling linked to the intended application) and a diversification of research and consultancy activities;
• - Equipment maintenance and investment planning, including contribution to the drafting of projects related to the use, renewal or expansion of the UR equipment;
• - Organization and administrative management of activities, including the management of internal and external financial flows.

Teaching activities

• Integration of visualization equipments, corresponding data and models into teaching (mainly lectures in the second cycle, master theses and doctoral theses).

Community service activities.

• Promotion of teaching (visit to facilities, production of educational posters and presentations).

Qualifications REQUIRED / PROFILE

• Hold a PhD in Engineering Sciences or equivalent;
• Be an expert in the field of acquisition, processing and exploitation of digital images: X-ray or electrical tomography, visualization by optical or laser technique,…;
• International experience is an advantage.
