ERC Advanced Grant AdG-2021 Project HotCores Revealing the unknown planet within the Earth
20 March 2024. We are looking for one PhD fellowship, to start work in the fall of 2024. The research will involve laboratory- and synchrotron-based deformation of metallic alloys using a new apparatus recently delivered to the lab. The candidate will be in charge of calibrating the instrument and study the microstructural response of metallic alloys as a function of applied deformation, and temperature, up to the alloy’s melting temperature. The candidate will have access to the local, staffed electron microscopy facility for characterizing the sample states prior and after the mechanical tests. Tests will be performed in the Lille High Pressure Laboratory and at synchrotrons.
3 March 2024. He will work with Nadège Hilairet and Julien Chantel to test new means to combine deformation experiments and post-mortem characterization in the laboratory.
20 November 2023. The ERC HotCores project aims is looking for two post-doctoral fellows, to start work in 2024. Both positions will be first available for 1 year and extendable for a second year, paid according to French standards for post-doctoral fellowships, including all associated social benefits. The first position will involve laboratory-based visco-elasticity measurements on metallic alloys using a new apparatus that was recently delivered to the lab. The second position will be dedicated to visco-elasticity measurements at high pressure and high temperature using a custom-built dynamic diamond anvil cell with heating capabilities.

6 September 2023. Hélène Ginestet, our first PhD student on the HotCores project, is attending the summer school on matter at extremes organized in Banyuls sur Mer, France, 4-8 september 2023.
