Job Description : The Applied Mechanics Department of the FEMTO ST Institute, has been involved in the hydrogen storage theme for 20 years, on issues related to mechanics and materials science. The recruitment aims at reinforcing the human resources for the HYperStock project. The HYperStock project is one of the 7 targeted projects of the PEPR - Decarbonized Hydrogen (France 2030) which aims to consolidate the French scientific leadership in the field of storage and distribution of hydrogen under high pressure. Reducing the carbon impact of compressed hydrogen transport and storage solutions requires action on the materials used, by integrating the way they are obtained, the transformation processes, and their recyclability. This project aims to establish a "materials in a severe H2 environment" reference system, coupled with selection methodologies, and is divided into two main families of materials

• Non-metallic materials (elastomers, thermosets, thermoplastics and composites)
• Metallic materials (steels, aluminum alloys...

Profile : The candidate must have a Master's degree in mechanics or materials science and a proven taste for experimentation as well as knowledge of modeling. Specific skills in polymeric materials will be appreciated. Rigor, autonomy, teamwork and good communication skills (written and oral) in French and English are expected from the candidate. A strong sensitivity to sustainable development and life cycle analysis will be particularly appreciated and valued.
