Postdoctoral Position available at the Joint CNRS-MIT unit in the department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at MIT (2 years)

Job Description
The joint CNRS-MIT Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a new project in the area of bitumen. The project is a jointly led by Prof. Franz Ulm (MIT), Prof. Roland Pellenq (CNRS/MIT) and Dr. Thibaut Divoux (CNRS/MIT) and will have collaborations with Prof. Renal Backov (Univ. Bordeaux) and industry (Ferrovial). The main goal of the project is to gain insight on the micro-porosity of asphaltic materials, gather information on the pore size distribution and the structure of the porous network, and determine its implications on the mechanical properties of asphalt pavement with the goal to improve their strength and durability. The position will be based in Cambridge at MIT, for 2 years. This position is to be filled as soon as possible.

Requirements
* Ph.D. in area of mechanical engineering, materials science engineering, physics or related disciplines
* Candidates are expected to have expertise in experimental soft matter, mechanical tests and programming language such as Matlab or Python
* Candidates with additional experience in micro- or nano-indentation, rheology, electronic microscopy, Atomic Force microscopy will have an added advantage
* Good command of written and spoken English
* Ability to collaborate, work in teams and interact with industrial collaborators

Interested candidates should email to tdivoux@mit.edu the following documents:

(1) a personal CV (including a publication list)
(2) a concise research statement outlining research experience and interests
(3) contact information for 3 professional references

Non-tenured Lecturer position at ESPCI PARIS for the 2017-2018 academic year
———————————————————————————————————

ESPCI, Paris is urgently recruiting a non-tenured Lecturer for the 2017-2018 academic year. The profile includes teaching and research activities. Teaching can be performed in English.

* Teaching activity: Supervision of practical work in C programming (first year of engineering studies), programming with Matlab (2nd year of engineering studies).
The teaching is often structured as a research project involving molecular dynamics or acoustics applications. It is taught in small groups with highly motivated students. Teaching duties are very concentrated in the year and can often be performed within a six week window, leaving the rest of the year free for research. It is pretty light (130h) and does not require much preparation for someone with computer science skills.

* Research can be associated with the Gulliver or Langevin laboratory in the fields of statistical mechanics, hydrodynamics, active matter, elasticity, biophysics, waves.
The laboratory has active theoretical and experimental groups. http://www.gulliver.espci.fr/

Applicants should hold a PhD in physics. A statistical physics background in out of equilibrium physics and/or condensed matter physics is welcome. A good knowledge of programming is a must.
