Associate Professor in Nuclear Energy production/conversion
Job post no longer accepts applications
Institut Mines-Télécom
IMT Atlantique internationally recognized for the quality of its research, is a leading technological university under the authority of the Ministry of Industry and Digital Technologies, ranked in the three main international rankings (THE, SHANGHAI, QS).
The position is open on the Nantes campus within the Subatech department (and laboratory)[1]. Fully integrated into major worldwide scientific collaborations, at the cutting edge of research, Subatech gravitates around the fields of nuclear, hadronic, particle and astroparticle physics, and radiochemistry. Subatech carries out both fundamental and applied research into energy, environment and nuclear medicine. Mastering the technologies associated with these fields is a key factor in the success of the laboratory's projects. The post will be assigned to the "Nuclear Scenarios" team, which carries out upstream research on nuclear reactors, whether in connection with nuclear data and reactor safety, or with the fuel cycle.
Thematic and research challenges
The current revival of the French nuclear industry is reflected at IMT Atlantique by a strong revival of upstream R&D in the field of nuclear energy. This is being done in the fields of neutronics, reactor physics, innovative thermal and fast neutron reactors, their modelling and simulation, cycle physics, as well as in interdisciplinary approaches based on one or more of these fields. We are looking for a nuclear reactors physicist (in the broadest sense of the term) to carry out research into the study of different molten-salt reactor concepts (electric generator, minor actinide incinerator), the modelling of fuel evolution in French nuclear power plants, incorporating innovative devices such as SMRs, or on the propagation of nuclear and technological data-uncertainties on the calculation of the spent fuel inventory and derived quantities (dose, residual power, source term). This goal can also be achieved by helping to validate specific codes and improve their predictive capabilities.
Education
Located on 3 attractive campuses, IMT Atlantique boasts a strong international dynamic while remaining on a human scale. In its various BAC+5 programs (engineering and masters-DNM), students are confronted with real-life problem situations through a variety of pedagogical approaches. The ambition of IMT Atlantique is to train high-potential young professionals, capable of mobilizing a broad spectrum of skills in real-life situations, in a variety of environments (production, research, business creation, etc.) and socio-economic fields.
Involved both in the core curriculum and in the elective courses, the person recruited will contribute both to his or her "nuclear energy production and conversion" speciality and to cross-disciplinary, interdisciplinary activities or those linked to companies: tutoring of projects/internships, oral presentations, coaching, etc. He/she will be invited to propose new projects, programs and related teaching methodologies, particularly inspired and supported by industrial requirements and partnerships. https://www.imt-atlantique.fr/en/study. She/He will also be involved in our international 'Nuclear Energy' master's programme.
Collective responsibility and involvement in economic development
Particular attention will be focused on the candidate's ability to get involved in the collective life of the school: contributing to, or piloting, cross-disciplinary projects (e.g. on ecological transition), taking on responsibilities (training programs, research projects, teaching or research teams) or participating in bodies such as the teaching committee, school council, social administration committee.
In addition, in an environment of privileged relations with major national and international industrial partners, as well as a dense network of SMEs and start-ups, the teacher-researcher recruited will contribute to the school's reputation and economic development, particularly through the valorization of his/her work by patenting or technology transfer. With 290 permanent faculty member, 2,000 students including 300 PhD students, IMT Atlantique produces 1,000 publications each year and raises 18M€ in research funds.
