[Contrat doctoral] Spéciation et devenir de l’OBT dans les écosystèmes terrestres : approche intégrée par fractionnement géochimique, FTMS, scintillation liquide et modélisation radiol à CEA

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Contexte :

Le tritium, isotope radioactif de l’hydrogène est largement présent dans l’environnent tant dans l’atmosphère que dans l’hydrosphère, sous forme principalement d’eau tritiée (HTO). En raison de sa similitude chimique avec l’hydrogène stable, il participe aux grands cycles biogéochimiques et interagit étroitement avec les organismes vivants. A travers des processus métaboliques fondamentaux, tels que l’hydratation et la photosynthèse, le tritium peut être incorporé dans la matière organique, conduisant à la formation de tritium organiquement lié (TOL ou OBT pour Organically Bound Tritium).

Contrairement au tritium sous forme libre, caractérisé par une dynamique rapide d’échange avec l’eau corporelle, le TOL présente une rétention plus prolongée dans les tissus biologiques. Cette spécificité confère au TOL des propriétés radiobiologiques particulières, notamment un potentiel d’exposition interne accru lié à sa demi-vie biologique plus longue et à son incorporation dans des composés organiques stables. Par conséquent, le TOL est désormais considéré comme un paramètre clé dans l’évaluation de l’impact radiologique associé aux rejets de tritium issus des installations nucléaires.

Dans ce contexte, la caractérisation du TOL dans l’environnement constitue un enjeu scientifique et méthodologique majeur. Le choix du compartiment environnemental étudié — qu’il s’agisse des sols, des végétaux ou des sédiments — apparaît déterminant, dans la mesure où chaque matrice présente des capacités distinctes d’incorporation, de transformation et de rétention du tritium. La distinction entre bioaccumulateurs et bio-indicateurs, ainsi que les processus écophysiologiques qui leur sont associés, influencent directement les concentrations mesurées et leur représentativité. Cette variabilité, encore difficile à quantifier de manière robuste, introduit des incertitudes significatives dans l’interprétation des données et, par conséquent, dans l’évaluation globale de l’impact environnemental du tritium. Dans cette perspective, il est essentiel de mieux comprendre les mécanismes gouvernant la formation et la distribution du TOL dans les différents compartiments de l’environnement, afin d’améliorer la pertinence des approches de surveillance et de renforcer la fiabilité des évaluations radiologiques.

Les activités industrielles et nucléaires, historiques ou futures notamment dans les domaines de la gestion des déchets radioactifs et de la fusion nucléaire, , soulèvent des enjeux majeurs en matière de radioprotection et d’évaluation des risques environnementaux. Parmi les radionucléides d’intérêt, le tritium organiquement lié (TOL) occupe une place particulière en raison de sa persistance dans les écosystèmes et de son potentiel de transfert au sein des réseaux trophiques.

Malgré les avancées récentes, les mécanismes gouvernant l’incorporation du tritium dans la matière organique et sa répartition entre les différentes fractions organiques demeurent encore imparfaitement compris. Cette méconnaissance constitue une limite importante à la prédiction des comportements écotoxicologiques et des doses associées à l’exposition interne, en particulier pour le biota et les compartiments environnementaux complexes.

Dans ce contexte, ce projet de recherche propose une approche intégrée visant à améliorer la compréhension de ces processus. Celle-ci repose sur la combinaison du fractionnement géochimique de la matière organique, de l’analyse moléculaire à très haute résolution par spectrométrie de masse Orbitrap, et de la modélisation des transferts environnementaux du tritium. L’objectif vise à réduire les incertitudes associées à la dynamique du Tritium organiquement lié (TOL) et à renforcer la robustesse des évaluations de risques radiologique.

Objectifs de la thèse :

Le tritium est l’un des radionucléides les plus rejetés dans l’atmosphère et contribue de manière significative à la dose annuelle reçue par les populations locales, principalement via l’ingestion de produits alimentaires issus de la production locale. Dans ce contexte, ce projet de recherche vise à étudier et évaluer les niveaux d’activité du tritium organiquement lié (TOL) dans les compartiments environnementaux, afin de :

Evaluer l’impact radiologique associé aux activités passées, notamment en lien avec les rejets historiques de tritium.
Anticiper les impacts radiologiques liés aux activités futures en intégrant les processus physiologiques et écologiques, et en identifiant les niveaux d’iso-activités au seun des différents compartiments environnementaux (sols, végétaux, chaîne trophique).

Pour atteindre ces objectifs globaux, le projet s’articule autour de quatre axes complémentaires :

1. Objectif analytique : Quantifier et spatialiser les activités en TOL dans les différents compartiments environnementaux étudiés.

Déterminer les niveaux d’activité du tritium organiquement lié (TOL) dans les sols et les végétaux (feuilles, racines, cultures), en s’appuyant sur la technique scintillation liquide afin d’assurer une quantification précise des activités (Bq/kg).
Établir des cartes d’iso-activités afin de visualiser la distribution spatiale du tritium organiquement lié (TOL) et d’identifier les zones d’intérêt ou sensibles, notamment les zones agricoles et les écosystèmes vulnérables.
Évaluer la contribution des rejets historiques associés aux installations nucléaires et aux événements accidentels, ainsi que les impacts potentiels des activités futures(notamment les projets de fusion nucléaire, et les stratégies de gestion des déchets), en intégrant les principales voies d’exposition humaine en particulier l’ingestion et l’inhalation.

2. Objectif géochimique : Caractériser la spéciation moléculaire de TOL afin de mieux comprendre ses formes d’association au sein de la matière organique et sa distribution entre les différentes fractions géochimiques.

Procéder au fractionnement de la matière organique des échantillons (végétaux, sols) à l’aide de techniques d’extraction accélérée par solvant (ASE) et de chromatographie semi-préparative (SPE/colonnes), afin d’isoler les principales fractions organiques, notammant les fractions lipidiques, hydrophiles, et macromoléculaires (telles que les acides humiques, polysaccharides).
Identifier les compositions moléculaires associées au tritium organiquement lié (OBT) par spectrométrie de masse ultra-haute résolution (Orbitrap), en ciblant les principales familles de composés organiques, notamment les lipides, les protéines et les substances humiques.
Corréler les profils moléculaires obtenus avec les activités mesurées afin d’identifier les fractions organiques jouant un rôle de réservoirs ou de vecteurs de transfert du tritium organiquement lié(TOL).

3. Objectif modélisation : Développer et appliquer des approches de modélisation permettant de prédire les impacts radiologiques et éco-toxicologiques associés au tritium organiquement lié (TOL) Développer un modèle de transfert environnemental intégrant :

Les données de spéciation moléculaire (Orbitrap).
Les activités mesurées (scintillation liquide).
Les paramètres écophysiologiques (ex. : métabolisme végétal, dégradation de la matière organique).

Proposer des scénarios prédictifs relatifs aux activités futures intégrant notamment les effets des changements climatiques et de nouveaux rejets rejets potentiels et définir des seuils d’iso-activités pertinents pour l’évaluation et la gestion du risque radiologique.

4. Objectif appliqué : Développer des outils méthodologiques et opérationnels destinés à améliorer la gestion, la surveillance et la régulation des impacts associés au tritium organiquement lié dans l’environnement.

Standardiser une méthodologie innovante combinant ASE, SPE et Orbitrap, afin de garantir une analyse reproductible du tritium organiquement lié (TOL) dans différents contextes, notamment les sites contaminés et les études de biodisponibilité

[Contrat doctoral] Elaboration and study of physical properties of graphenic carbon nitrides nanostructures à ICMMO / Université Paris-Saclay et IEMN / Université de Lille

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

The discovery of novel 2D materials with unique electronic band structures has generated significant interest in understanding how modifications in their morphology and elemental composition can influence their physical properties. A major objective in this field has been to develop alternatives to conventional top-down fabrication methods of tailored graphene-based structures, which originally exhibit semimetallic electronic properties. In this context, bottom-up approaches based on on-surface reactions of molecular precursors (e.g., via Ullmann coupling and cyclodehydrogenation) have proven to be highly efficient for the growth of nanostructured one- and two-dimensional graphenic architectures on metal surfaces with tunable electronic properties, ranging from semimetallic to semiconducting behavior. By the same time, advances in solution-phase molecular chemistry also made possible the synthesis of extended 2D conjugated networks.

Building on these advances, the proposed PhD project will focus on the synthesis of suitable molecular precursors, followed by the growth of porous 2D carbon nitride (CxNy) layers using two complementary approaches: traditional wet chemistry (i.e., the Fittig reaction) and UHV-based on-surface synthesis as described above. Particular emphasis will be placed on investigating the atomic structure, chemical composition, electronic and vibrational properties of the resulting CN-based materials, grown or drop-casted on different substrates.

Profil recherché :
The candidate should have a strong interest in experimental work. Knowledge of organic chemistry, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) techniques and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) would be clear advantages for this project. One part of the study will be conducted in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) condition: Substrate's preparation and molecular precursors deposition on these surfaces by molecular beam epitaxy; Elaboration of graphene-based nanostructures via on-surface reaction of the precursors; Exploring their structures at atomic scale, chemical composition and electronic properties with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The candidate will also be responsible for studies at ambient conditions: Synthesis of molecular precursors and their use for the growth of 2D CN-based layers, along with the characterization of both precursor and resulting materials using conventional techniques; Study of their vibrational and optical properties, along with evaluating their suitability for use as active layers in sensors and transistors. The candidate should be able to work both independently and in a collaborative environment (i.e. interact with physicists, chemists and theoreticians). Good communication skills and knowledge of English are required since the candidate will participate in the dissemination of his/her research to the international community: publications in scientific journals, conferences, general public communication, etc.

[Contrat doctoral] Synthèse d’un biolubrifiant à partir d’une huile végétale : étude cinétique et performance à Universté de Rouen Normandie

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Le développement industriel est un des responsables des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et du réchauffement climatique. Pour respecter la loi de transition énergétique pour la croissance verte et atteindre la neutralité carbone à l’horizon 2050, les industriels se sont tournés vers le développement des énergies issues des ressources renouvelables ou du nucléaire. Pour le domaine des lubrifiants, la recherche actuelle se concentre sur la mise au point d’huiles biodégradables et écologiques. Ces lubrifiants sont indispensables pour la réduction d’usure des surfaces en mouvement.

Le remplacement des lubrifiants issus de matières fossiles par des matières biosourcées est l’alternative la plus prometteuse. Néanmoins, la composition hétérogène de ces matières renouvelables, disposant de moins bonnes propriétés physico-chimiques, pose un problème pour leur utilisation. En effet, ces huiles végétales sont composées d’une large variété de constituants possédant des doubles liaisons dans leur chaîne carbonée facilitant leur oxydation. Leur utilisation nécessite une modification de leurs propriétés physico-chimiques par différents procédés chimiques.

L'objectif de cette étude est de déterminer, à partir d’une analyse expérimentale, les conditions nécessaires à l’obtention d’un biolubrifiant conforme aux normes en vigueur, suivi d’un travail de modélisation des cinétiques chimiques et des transferts de matière. Dans un second temps, il s'agit d'évaluer les risques d'emballement du procédé en déterminant l'élévation de température du milieu réactionnel en mode adiabatique (ΔTad) ainsi que le temps disponible avant d'atteindre la vitesse maximale de la réaction (TMR).

Ce projet permettra d’étoffer l’expertise du laboratoire dans le domaine de la détermination des paramètres cinétiques et énergétiques associés aux procédés innovants et présentant une probabilité d’accident thermique. Ils permettront également de tester les milieux structurés d’intensification du procédé dans la réduction du coût énergétique. Cette technique d’intensification a été déjà utilisée dans l’époxydation de l’huile végétale [1].

Le candidat recherché est de formation génie chimique ou chimie industrielle et a un diplôme d’ingénieur ou équivalent. Des compétences en modélisation chimique et procédé sont nécessaires.

[Contrat doctoral] Etude de la réactivité sel/bitume par calorimétrie adiabatique et confrontation par approche de dynamique moléculaire en contexte d'incendie (Ref Th RES 26-04) à ASNR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:05 +0200

Dans les années 1960, le bitume a été retenu par l'industrie nucléaire française comme matrice d'enrobage pour les déchets radioactifs de faible et moyenne activité issus du retraitement du combustible. Aujourd'hui, les fûts d'enrobés bitumineux représentent près d'un tiers des déchets MA-VL destinés au stockage géologique profond du projet Cigéo. Dans le cadre de l'instruction du dossier d'autorisation par l'ASNR, des besoins ont été identifiés concernant la compréhension de la réactivité chimique entre le bitume et les sels issus de la coprécipitation des radionucléides. La maîtrise des mécanismes d'emballement thermique, en tenant compte des incertitudes liées à la composition, au vieillissement et à l'hétérogénéité des colis, constitue un enjeu majeur de sûreté, notamment en cas d'apport de chaleur externe lors d'un incendie. Des études par calorimétrie différentielle ont permis d'identifier les débuts de réactivité et les énergies libérables, mais des incertitudes persistent quant à la représentativité des conditions réelles. Cette thèse propose d'étudier des enrobés modèles sel-bitume par calorimétrie adiabatique VSP2 afin d'évaluer les effets d'échelle, les températures de début de réactivité (T≤200 °C), les énergies exothermiques et l'influence du vieillissement. Les résultats attendus amélioreront la compréhension des phénomènes thermochimiques dans des conditions représentatives de stockage à long terme et renforceront l'expertise indépendante en sûreté nucléaire.

Méthodologie et organisation des travaux
Première année : développement expérimental et caractérisation initiale
La première année sera consacrée à la mise en place des protocoles expérimentaux nécessaires à l'utilisation d'un calorimètre adiabatique de type VSP2. Le doctorant prendra en main l'instrumentation, définira les procédures expérimentales et développera les méthodes d'analyse des thermogrammes en collaboration avec l'INERIS, reconnu pour son expertise dans la mesure calorimétrique et l'analyse des risques d'emballement thermique.
Parallèlement, des campagnes de caractérisation physico-chimique seront menées avec le CEREMA afin d'évaluer la représentativité des enrobés modèles par rapport aux enrobés industriels. Ces analyses incluront des mesures rhéologiques pour caractériser le comportement mécanique, des observations morphologiques pour décrire la microstructure du matériau et des analyses de spéciation chimique pour identifier les espèces présentes.

Deuxième année : caractérisation de la réactivité thermique
La deuxième année portera sur l'étude approfondie des formulations d'enrobés modèles présentant les comportements thermiques les plus critiques. Les essais en calorimétrie adiabatique permettront de déterminer les températures de début de réactivité, les cinétiques réactionnelles et les énergies libérées. Une attention particulière sera portée à l'influence de facteurs susceptibles d'amplifier la réactivité, tels que la présence de solvants dégradés, les phénomènes d'oxydation, les effets de l'irradiation et les transitoires thermiques.
Les résultats seront analysés dans une perspective d'évaluation des incertitudes afin de renforcer la robustesse des conclusions. Ils seront également comparés aux données obtenues dans la thèse complémentaire menée par PSE-ENV/SPDR/LETIS, permettant ainsi une confrontation croisée des approches expérimentales et une validation des résultats.

Troisième année : modélisation moléculaire et compréhension des mécanismes
La troisième année sera dédiée à la modélisation à l'échelle atomique des interactions bitume-sels. Des simulations de dynamique moléculaire utilisant des champs de forces classiques permettront d'étudier la structure des matrices bitumineuses et de quantifier les interactions énergétiques entre leurs constituants. Ces travaux serviront de base au développement de simulations plus avancées par dynamique moléculaire ab initio de type DFT-MD, intégrant explicitement les interactions électroniques.
Cette approche permettra de modéliser des réactions chimiques complexes en milieu confiné et d'obtenir des données énergétiques précises sur les mécanismes redox. Les résultats contribueront à compléter les observations expérimentales et à améliorer la compréhension des phénomènes responsables de la réactivité thermique des enrobés bitumineux.

[Contrat doctoral] Quantum electrodynamics for relativistic quantum chemistry à Laboratoire de Chimie Théorique, Sorbonne Université & CNRS

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

As part of the collaborative mathematics/chemistry project MaQuI, we are hiring a PhD student (3
years) to work on questions related to quantum electrodynamics (QED) applied to quantum chemistry.
QED is, in principle, the most fundamental and precise physical theory to incorporate relativistic
effects in quantum chemistry. However, practical methods for performing systematic calculations
based on this theory for realistic molecular systems do not yet exist.
The project aims to develop new electronic structure methods, in particular within the framework
of density functional theory (DFT), based on a variational formulation of QED.
The work may involve several complementary aspects:
• Theoretical and formal developments to derive new electronic structure methods from QED;
• More applied methodological developments, including the treatment of renormalization in a finite
basis;
• Software implementation and development, integrating the newly developed methods into quan-
tum chemistry codes.

Working Environment: The PhD student will be hosted at the Laboratory of Theoretical Chemistry, Sorbonne University and CNRS (4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris). The PhD student will work primarily with Julien Toulouse (Sorbonne University and CNRS) and in collaboration with mathematicians Mathieu Lewin (CNRS and Université Paris Dauphine–PSL) and Éric Cancès (École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, CNRS and Institut Polytechnique de Paris).

Starting Date: From 01/10/2026

Profil recherché :
Master degree in theoretical chemistry or physics (or a related field such as applied mathematics), with strong skills in quantum mechanics and a keen interest in interdisciplinary interactions with mathematicians.

[Contrat doctoral] Caractérisation des mécanismes radiolytiques dans les systèmes eau tritiée – zéolithe en condition d’entreposage à CEA/Saclay

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

Contexte scientifique et enjeux

La gestion des effluents tritiés constitue un enjeu majeur pour les installations nucléaires, en particulier pour les activités liées au tritium au sein du CEA de Valduc. Ces installations génèrent des effluents liquides sous forme d’eau faiblement tritiée, dont la faible activité volumique ne permet pas une valorisation directe. Leur stockage sous forme liquide posant des contraintes opérationnelles fortes, une stratégie alternative consiste à immobiliser cette eau par adsorption dans des matrices solides de type alumino-silicates, notamment des zéolithes 4A, conditionnées en conteneurs étanches.

Dans ce contexte, la compréhension fine des phénomènes physicochimiques se produisant au cours de l’entreposage à long terme est cruciale. En particulier, l’auto-radiolyse de l’eau tritiée confinée dans les pores nanométriques des zéolithes génère des espèces gazeuses (H₂, O₂) et des intermédiaires réactifs dont le comportement reste encore partiellement compris. Ces processus conditionnent directement la sûreté du stockage.

Les travaux menés ces dernières années ont permis des avancées significatives. Des observations expérimentales ont notamment mis en évidence un phénomène inattendu de recombinaison des gaz radiolytiques (H₂ et O₂) lorsque la zéolithe est partiellement hydratée (en dessous d’un seuil d’environ 13 %). En parallèle, des approches de modélisation (DFT, dynamique moléculaire, Monte Carlo cinétique) ont permis de mieux comprendre les sites d’adsorption, la mobilité des espèces et leur probabilité de rencontre dans la matrice poreuse. Ces études suggèrent l’existence d’un seuil critique d’hydratation au-delà duquel la diffusion des gaz devient fortement limitée, ce qui impacte directement les mécanismes réactionnels.

Cependant, ces travaux reposent majoritairement sur des systèmes idéalisés, éloignés des conditions réelles d’entreposage. Par ailleurs, les modèles développés restent encore peu contraints par des données expérimentales directes sur les mécanismes réactionnels en milieu confiné.

Objectifs de la thèse

L’objectif principal de cette thèse est de replacer l’expérimental au cœur de l’étude de la radiolyse confinée, afin de réduire l’écart entre approches fondamentales et conditions opérationnelles.

Le projet s’articule autour de trois axes principaux :

1. Caractérisation des matériaux réels de stockage
Une étude approfondie de la zéolithe utilisée industriellement sera menée. Ce matériau, sous forme de billes incorporant un liant (probablement argileux), présente une complexité structurale encore peu explorée. L’objectif sera d’en déterminer les propriétés structurales, texturales et chimiques, ainsi que leur influence sur l’adsorption de l’eau.

2. Simulation expérimentale de la radiolyse en conditions confinées
Des systèmes modèles seront développés en laboratoire, basés sur l’adsorption d’eau non tritiée dans les zéolithes, puis soumis à irradiation externe afin de reproduire les effets de la radiolyse du tritium. Ces expériences permettront de suivre la formation, l’évolution et les interactions des espèces radiolytiques dans un environnement contrôlé mais représentatif.

3. Identification des mécanismes réactionnels à l’échelle moléculaire
Un ensemble de techniques avancées sera mis en œuvre pour sonder le système de manière in situ et multi-échelle :

La RMN multinoyaux (¹H, ²⁹Si, ²⁷Al, ²³Na, ¹⁷O) permettra d’accéder aux environnements chimiques de la charpente, de l’eau confinée et des produits de radiolyse. L’utilisation d’eau enrichie en ¹⁷O offrira une sensibilité accrue aux interactions eau–zéolithe.
La résonance paramagnétique électronique (RPE) permettra de détecter et de caractériser les espèces radicalaires transitoires (par exemple HO^•), potentiellement impliquées dans les mécanismes de recombinaison.

Retombées attendues

Les résultats attendus sont à la fois fondamentaux et appliqués :

Une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes de radiolyse en milieu confiné, au cœur des problématiques de chimie sous rayonnement et d’effets de confinement.
L’identification des paramètres clés contrôlant la formation, la diffusion et la recombinaison des espèces gazeuses.
La production de données expérimentales originales permettant de contraindre et d’améliorer les modèles prédictifs développés précédemment (DFT, DM, KMC).
Des recommandations concrètes pour optimiser les conditions d’entreposage de l’eau tritiée (taux d’hydratation, formulation des matériaux, conditions de stockage).

Environnement scientifique

La thèse se déroulera principalement au sein du laboratoire NIMBE (UMR CEA–CNRS 3685) à Paris-Saclay, reconnu pour son expertise en physicochimie des matériaux, chimie sous rayonnement et caractérisations multi-échelles. Le doctorant bénéficiera d’un environnement expérimental de pointe et d’un encadrement pluridisciplinaire.

Le projet s’inscrit dans une collaboration étroite avec le CEA de Valduc, qui apportera son expertise sur le tritium, ses composés et les problématiques industrielles associées au stockage. Des interactions régulières entre les équipes permettront d’assurer une forte cohérence entre recherche académique et enjeux opérationnels.

Profil recherché :
Le (la) candidat(e) doit avoir des bases solides en chimie physique, chimie des matériaux et en techniques magnétiques (RMN et RPE). Le (la) candidat(e) doit posséder de la rigueur, de la curiosité, du goût pour l’expérimentation, l’instrumentation et du sens critique.

[Stage] « Influence des vapeurs métalliques sur le déplacement de l’arc » à Laboratoire LAPLACE UMR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

Introduction

De nos jours, il existe plusieurs types de configurations technologiques dont le fonctionnement implique la génération d’un plasma thermique par arc électrique établi entre deux électrodes. C’est le cas des torches à plasma thermique ainsi que des dispositifs de coupure du courant transitoire : les disjoncteurs à haute et basse tension et les parafoudres. Dans le cas particulier de la coupure basse tension et des éclateurs à gaz (parafoudre), les enjeux concernent : l’augmentation de la tension de l’arc et son extinction le plus rapidement possible par limitation du courant.

Dans la littérature, la majorité des études théoriques et expérimentales sur la coupure basse tension est dédiée à l’étude des phénomènes physiques liés au déplacement de l’arc et à sa segmentation au niveau de séparateurs métalliques. Cependant, une faible importance est accordée aux effets que pourrait engendrer l’émission de vapeurs métalliques issues de l’érosion ou de l’ablation des électrodes par l’arc électrique.

La conception de dispositifs de coupure performants repose sur la compréhension des phénomènes physiques liés au déplacement de l’arc mais également à la compréhension de l’influence de l’interaction de l’arc avec les électrodes impliquant l’émission de vapeurs métalliques. Ces vapeurs métalliques viennent ensemencer le milieu plasma changeant ainsi ses propriétés. Du fait de leur faible potentiel d’ionisation, ces vapeurs métalliques ont tendance à augmenter la conductivité électrique du plasma facilitant ainsi les phénomènes de claquages de l’arc au niveau des zones en proche voisinage des électrodes. Ces phénomènes de claquage peuvent avoir un impact non négligeable sur le déplacement de l’arc pouvant parfois même compromettre le bon fonctionnement du dispositif. L’étude et la compréhension de leur influence sur les caractéristiques du plasma demeurent donc indispensables.

Sujet Proposé

La première partie du stage sera consacrée à une étude bibliographique (approches théoriques et expérimentales) sur les travaux relatifs à l’influence des vapeurs métalliques sur le comportement d’un arc dans l’air. Une synthèse des conclusions principales sera fournie.

Dans un second temps, l’étudiant(e) se familiarisera avec les outils de modélisation de l’équipe AEPPT (Icem et Fluent). L’apprentissage s’effectuera via une configuration d’arc libre qu’il s’agira de reproduire. Au préalable l’étudiant devra se familiariser avec la méthode des volumes finis.

La dernière partie du stage sera consacrée à l’étude de l’influence des vapeurs métalliques sur une configuration simplifiée constituée de deux rails parallèles.

Si le temps le permet, l’étudiant(e) participera à des compagnes expérimentales permettant de mettre en évidence les vapeurs métalliques et leur influence sur le comportement du plasma.

Possibilité de poursuire en thèse : Oui

Étudiant(e) en Master 2 ou en dernière année d'Ecole d'Ingénieur dans les domaines de la Physique, des Plasmas, de la Mécanique des fluides, de la simulation multi-physique - Connaissance en langage C - Mécanique des fluides - Physique fondamentale – Connaissance de la physique des plasmas appréciée

In 2024 we moved from our original building to main campus to be closer to collaborators and university resources. In our founder’s tradition, we are particularly interested in supporting scholars who have the potential to establish a ground-breaking research program in a field that bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries. Previous Rowland Fellows have gone on to extremely successful careers, mostly in academia, but also in industry and as founders of startup companies.

The benefits of a Rowland Fellowship include:

Fellows will have full principal investigator rights and will establish their labs in an interdisciplinary and interactive environment, in the rich intellectual environment of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Fellows will be provided with dedicated laboratory space, and ancillary spaces as needed (ex. tissue culture); generous start-up funding for capital equipment, depending on the Fellow’s research program; a yearly budget starting at $225,000 for general operations (lab supplies, travel, etc.) and the hiring of personnel (postdoctoral fellows, postbacs, undergraduates); and, a salary that begins at $89,999 per year with full Harvard benefits.
Fellows may have the opportunity to teach undergraduates during their Fellowship, to enable contact with students (ideally in an active research setting, rather than in a classroom), both to help Fellows recruit talented students to their labs and to provide teaching experience that will help them in any career they choose.
Staff scientists and engineers are available to work directly with Rowland Fellows to design and fabricate new experimental set-ups. Shared research equipment is available at facilities within the Institute and also throughout Harvard University (e.g. the Center for Nanoscale Systems, and the Bauer Life Science Core Facility).
Fellows will receive mentoring to develop a productive lab culture, support for scientific writing and budgeting, alongside ongoing support for career development throughout the Fellowship period, including leadership training and access to Harvard’s Core for Mentorship Excellence. The Fellowship lasts up to five years, with a flexible start date; incoming 2027 Rowland Fellows will have start dates July – December 2027.

How to Apply

Only applications submitted through the Harvard Careers website will be considered for the position.

Application Information

Applicants should upload the following materials:

a 250 word “elevator pitch” to describe your research goals to a general audience,
a Statement of Research (three page limit including references), describing your research proposal and, if relevant, a summary of any recent work that supports the planned experiments,
a curriculum vitae (CV),
a Vision Statement (one page limit) to describe how your personal values and experiences in academia inform your plan for a productive and supportive culture within your group,
and, contact information for three or four references (automated emails will be sent requesting letters of recommendation direct to your references that includes their submission deadline.)

Deadline

2027 Rowland Fellowships: The deadline for applications is Saturday, August 1, 2026 at 11:59PM EDT.

Timeline for the Rowland Fellowship application process:

Applications are due August 1, 2026
- Letters of recommendation are due August 15, 2026
September 2026: applicants who do not meet the eligibility criteria will be notified by email.
October 2026: Candidates are contacted for a first-round Zoom interview, and unsuccessful candidates will be notified by email.  
November 2026: Finalists come to the Institute for a two day interview.
- Day 1: Candidates participate in a symposium, and give a brief presentation on both past and proposed research.
- Day 2: Candidates will interview with current Rowland Fellows, Rowland staff, and the admissions committee.
December 2026: Selection decisions are made and finalists are informed

Some notes about applications:

Your application need not be completed and submitted in one sitting; you can log back in at a later time to make additions and changes.
When your application is completed and submitted, instructions will automatically be sent to these referees about submitting their letter of recommendation, with a deadline of two weeks. (You might want to alert your referees earlier via email that the automated letter request is coming, so that they have more time to complete it.)
Once completed and submitted, you cannot revise your materials. If you do need to submit a revised version after submittal but before the deadline, please email rf@g.harvard.edu and we will reactivate your account so you can submit the revised version.
Please declare use of AI tools in your application and describe their use. Importantly, their use should not replace your original thinking. The required materials seek to elicit responses that reflect your personal experience and unique motivations and should be written in your own voice. Hence, caution is advised against using AI-generated materials as-is: admissions committees can often sense AI-written materials because they lack personal nuance and can be rather vague in the details.

Eligibility

To qualify for the 2027 cycle, applicants should currently be in the process of either completing their PhDs and/or have received their PhD after May 1, 2025. Fellows must have completed their doctoral degree prior to starting their Fellowship term.
Your proposed research must be experimentally focused in any field of science or engineering – including physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, neuroscience, etc.
The program accepts applications from such a broad range of fields that the research conducted by current and past Fellows can be used as a guide, but should not be considered restrictive! We choose Fellows based on the best proposed science at the time of submission. That said, we cannot support human subjects research or clinical research of any type, as our fellowship is designed to enable Fellows from multiple disciplines to share overlapping laboratory spaces.
We encourage applicants from the broader scientific community; candidates can apply from any accredited academic institution whether in the United States or internationally.
US Citizens and non-citizens are eligible for appointment as Rowland Fellows. The staff at the Rowland Institute and Harvard University can assist you in the visa process if needed.
Please email rf@g.harvard.edu if you have questions regarding eligibility or the application.

[Stage] Étude multi-échelle de la pyrolyse des CSR : caractérisation des matières, influence du temps de séjour et optimisation catalytique à Étude multi-échelle de la pyrolyse des CSR : caractérisation des matières, influence du temps de séjour et optimisation catalytique

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 17:53:05 +0100

Matière à valoriser : Combustibles Solides de Récupération

Réacteurs utilisés : réacteur fermé (batch) vs. Réacteur à lit fluidisé

Etablissement : INSA Rouen France

Gratification : environ 640€ par mois

Durée : 5.5 mois

1) Contexte & objectifs

- Les CSR montrent une forte variabilité (plastiques, papiers/cartons, textiles, fraction fine, etc.) et un enjeu majeur de déchloration/qualité des produits.

- Comparer la pyrolyse en réacteur fermé et lit fluidisé éclaire l’effet du temps de séjour des vapeurs et de la température sur rendements, composition des gaz/huiles, et qualité du biochar.

- Des zéolithes (ex. HZSM-5 modifiée) sont pertinentes pour aromatisation/déchloration des huiles issues de CSR ¹.

Objectifs spécifiques

Recherche biblio : Cartographier la composition de CSR et leurs produits de pyrolyse (huiles/gaz/char)².
Caractérisation multi-techniques (ATG (proximate–ultimate), bombe calorimétrique, DRX, FTIR, SEM-EDS, porosité BET…).
Travail expérimental : Expérimenter en réacteur fermé et en lit fluidisé : prétraitements (dont déchloration), effets T et temps de séjour des vapeurs (VRT), et étude catalytique sur zéolithe modifiée.

2) Programme de travail

2.1. Recherche bibliographique (sem. 1–3)

CSR/SRF : définitions & classes (EN 15359), variabilité, contaminants (Cl, métaux) ; filières d’usage.
Prétraitements/déchloration (lavage, Ca(OH)₂, traitements thermiques) & catalyse zéolithique (HZSM-5, versions nano/hiérarchiques, dopages).
Produits de pyrolyse de CSR (techniques utilsiées (GC-MS,..), familles chimiques majeures, gaz légers, qualité des chars).
Réacteurs : identifier les réacteurs les plus utilisés pour le traitement de CSR
Conditions opératoires : Etudier l’effet du temps de séjour des vapeurs et la température du réacteur sur la distribution produite.

2.2. Caractérisation des échantillons (sem. 2–6)

Échantillons et analyses :

- ATG/DTG (N₂) 25-800 °C, 5°C/min → profils de dévolatilisation, paramètres cinétiques

- Proximate/ultimate (cendres, volatils, C-H-N-S-Cl), analyse des chlore & soluble.

- Morphologie/porosité : BET, SEM-EDS (impuretés, Cl-rich domains), DRX (carbonates/halogénures), FTIR.

2.3. Étude expérimentale (sem. 5–16)

Prétraitements (en fonction de la partie biblio)

1. Déchloration en amont (prétraitement du CSR)

- Lavage à l’eau ou eau alcaline (Ca(OH)₂, NaOH, NaHCO₃) : permet d’extraire une grande partie du chlore soluble (NaCl, KCl) avant pyrolyse → moins de chlore passe dans l’huile/charbon.

- Traitement thermique doux (200–300 °C) : volatilisation partielle du HCl lié au PVC avant pyrolyse principale.

Ces techniques ne déchlorent pas directement l’huile, mais réduisent fortement sa teneur en Cl à la source (Pour plus d’information, voir article Chen et al. (2022)³.

2. Déchloration in situ pendant pyrolyse

- Ajout de sorbants basiques (CaO, Ca(OH)₂, MgO, dolomie) dans le lit : fixation du chlore sous forme de CaCl₂/MgCl₂ solides, donc moins de chlore volatil vers l’huile.

- Vaporisation de l’HCl par une torrefaction (entre 200-300°C)

- Utiliser des catalyseurs zéolithiques (HZSM-5, dopée Ni/Zn) : favorisent la formation d’aromatiques légers, tout en réduisant la fraction chlorée dans les goudrons/huiles (pour plus d’information, voir article de Cueto et al.(2023)¹.

Travail expérimental

- Réacteur fermé (batch) :masse utilisée de l’ordre de 1-2g, débit d’azote environ 200mL/min, et température entre 450–650 °C

- Lit fluidisé (sable, Zéolithes, CaO, MgO...., 0.2–0.5 mm) : 1-2g/min, température entre 450–650 °C.

Tous ces paramètres sont à ajuster en fonction de la littérature (partie 1).

Analyses des produits

Gaz : micro-GC / GC-TCD-FID ; éventuellement FTIR (par sac d’échantillonnage).

Huiles : GC-MS + GC-FID (familles chimiques)....

Biochar : BET, SEM-EDS, DRX, FTIR, suivi Cl et métaux.
