6 Environment "University of North Carolina" PhD scholarships at Nantes Université in France

Phd in Material Sciences - Immobilisation of volatile waste from nuclear energy in high-pressure materials: experimental approach on glass and glass-ceramics

of radioactive waste that is dangerous for people and needs to be incorporated into immobilisation matrices that remain stable over geological time in natural environment. In the nuclear energy cycle

PhD in geosciences - What is the influence of episodes of intense rain on the speciation of remobilized metals and their fate?

technological developments lead to a diversification of the metals necessary for industrial development, causing an unprecedented increase in releases of metals in the environment. Metals are considered toxic

PhD in Earth and Planetary Science - Aeolian processes as morphologic agent on Pluto, a comparative study

on Titan). On the other hand, from known atmospheric and surfaces conditions, scaling laws can be applied to predict aeolian bedforms characteristics for various planetary environment, assuming the processes

PhD in solid state chemistry - Designing layered mixed anion compounds for water-splitting photocatalysis

(layered) and the mixed anion environment (acentric character and internal electrical field). The selected compounds will be characterized in particular by X-ray diffraction (on powder and single crystals

PhD position Intermittent computing as an emerging paradigm

extracted from their environment. Intermittently operating devices present numerous technological challenges in various domains (electronics, IT, etc.). Among the interesting challenges, we can highlight the

PhD in Earth Science - Characteristics of quaternary fault activities in the Armorican Massif using geomorphology and geophysical techniques

and quantify their thickness. Finally, the PhD. candidate will perform paleo-seismological trenching to look for deformation in the quaternary deposits. Environments and collaborations: the LPG (Nantes
