Offer Description
Teaching and research in chemical engineering, with a preferred focus on electrochemical and/or hydrometallurgical processes. Open to candidates with strong potential in process/chemical engineering in any of the LRGP's areas of expertise (please see research and teaching profiles in the following items).

Skills/Qualifications
Teaching profile:
École Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques (ENSIC) offers a three-year degree course (L3 to M2) in chemical/process engineering, combining scientific and technical expertise with managerial and project management skills. Graduates are leaders in industrial transition, responding to the challenges of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.
The European School of Materials Engineering (EEIGM) offers a five-year programme (levels L1 to M2) to train general engineers in the field of materials, as students or apprentices, with international recruitment, as part of the EEIGM Consortium, which brings together sevenEuropean universities. The EEIGM trains quadrilingual, mobile engineers who master the entire life cycle of materials (polymers, metals,glass, ceramics and composites).
The Chairholder will teach courses, seminars and projects at the ENSIC and EEIGM, helping to train future engineers in the fields of chemica lengineering, if possible electrochemical and/or hydrometallurgical, with a focus on recycling and/or energy, to meet the growing demand from industry. Teaching at ENSIC could include an introduction to electrochemistry in conjunction with the physical chemistry courses, and a course on electrochemical processes with examples of applications (recycling processes, energy processes, valorization of decarbonized hydrogen, etc.). In addition, the ENSIC is setting up an international master's degree in sustainable processes, and the person recruited will be able to participate in this dynamic.
The teaching at the EEIGM will come under the "chemical engineering" discipline and could be part of one of the new courses created by the school since 2023, on materials for energy, mobility and health). For example, they could involve recycling processes in these fields, whether for metals (hydrometallurgy), polymers or complex assemblies of materials. He/she may also be involved in assessing the durability of materials and processes, in particular by life cycle analysis.
The person recruited will be able to take part in other Erasmus Mundus Masters modules in which these schools play a major role (DENSYS and AMASE Masters). He/she will be involved in innovative projects within the students' curricula and will participate in the UL's dynamic in specific research training (ORION project "Oser la Recherche durant la formatiON"), and in the dynamic of the EURECA-PRO European University.
Research profile
The LRGP is a joint CNRS-Université de Lorraine research unit whose general objective is to study processes for transforming matter and energy, either chemically or biologically. The LRGP develops the scientific and technological knowledge needed to design, study, manage and optimise complex processes, integrating changes in scale from the atom (molecular chemistry) to the industrial site. To achieve this, it brings together specialists from different disciplines: process engineering, thermodynamics, chemistry, biology, etc. The LRGP is resolutely committed to themes that concern industry and society, in the context of energy and ecological transition and the circular economy. It is particularly interested in energy and water processes, decarbonisation, recycling of metals and polymers, pollution treatment, process safety, product engineering and biomolecules.
The laboratory has up to 300 members, including around 90 teacher-researchers, 15 CNRS researchers, 45 support staff, around 100 PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, researchers on contract and trainees. It is organised into five research areas and six support services, and is spread over three sites in Greater Nancy (Grandville campus, Brabois ingénierie and IUT Nancy Brabois). The LRGP is recognised academically in France and abroad (IUF, ERC, PEPR, ANR, European and international projects). The laboratory, which is a member of the Carnot Institute ICEEL, also maintains strong partnerships with companies, and has four joint teams or laboratories. It is committed to academic excellence and promotes innovation (patents, start-ups). he Chairholder will carry out his/her research activities at the LRGP (presented later in the document).
The candidate's profile will preferably be in the field of electrochemical and/or hydrometallurgical processes, to complement the teams active in one or other of these areas. He/she will have to develop a project in interaction with teams specialising in electrochemical processes for energy and/or hydrometallurgical processes for metal recycling. He/she will benefit from a favourable environment, given the relations established with other laboratories at the University of Lorraine in this field (LabEx Ressources 21), and bearing in mind that the LRGP is a member of the GDR Prométhée.
The job is also open to any candidate with research experience in one of the laboratory's themes, in the field of process engineering, in line with the disciplines he/she will be teaching. He/she is invited to propose any research project that fits into one of the laboratory's areas of research, or between areas.
He/she will be autonomous in experimentation and modelling and will have the capacity to create new activities, international academic partnerships and industrial partnerships.
Specific Requirements
• Requirements for applicants:
o Hold a doctorate or an equivalent degree (upon recognition by UL Scientific Committee).
In addition, it is recommended:
o To have completed at least 3 years of scientific activity after the PhD thesis.
o For holders of a doctorate in France, to have a significant experience of mobility abroad (at least two years).
• The list of supporting documents to be attached to the application:
Your application file, consisting of the application form entered online, must include the following items:
- An official identity document with a photography;
- A document certifying that you hold a PhD, or an equivalent degree (whose equivalence must be recognized by the University of
Lorraine Scientific Committee);
- The PhD examination report, or a certificate from the institution stating that no examination report has been drawn up;
- An analytical presentation of the works, books, articles, achievements and activities related to the profile of the Junior Professorship
Chair tenure-track position in question, mentioning those that the candidate intends to present at the audition;
- A copy of each of the works, books, articles and achievements mentioned in the analytical presentation and which the candidate
intends to present at the audition, not exceeding six documents.
Administrative documents written in whole or in part in a foreign language must be accompanied by a translation into French, the
conformity of which the candidate certifies on his or her honor. The translation of the analytical presentation is compulsory and the
works, books, articles and achievements in a foreign language must be accompanied by a summary in French. Otherwise, the application
will be declared inadmissible.
Candidates who are or have been for less than eighteen months a teacher-researcher at a level equivalent to that of the post to be filled,
in a higher education institution in a country other than France, must indicate this status.
Applications must be submitted on the Galaxie platform (FIDIS module) according to the calendar available on the University of Lorraine
website.
Any application incomplete by the above-mentioned deadline will be declared inadmissible.
Only those candidates who have been selected by the recruitment committee on the basis of their applications will be invited to the
audition.
*When searching for positions, Junior Professorships will be distinguished from others by the recruitment article (CPJ).
