PhD thesis topic: Time-dependent properties of polymer glasses under pressure: from physical aging to microstructural complexity

Candidate profile We are looking for a motivated candidate with: • an MSc (Master 2) or engineering degree in physics, materials science, polymer science, or a related field; • a strong interest in experimental work (careful measurements, progressive autonomy, good laboratory practice); • an interest in glassy materials, molecular dynamics, physical aging and/or semi-crystalline polymers; • the ability to analyze data and write scientific reports/papers (basic programming skills are a plus: Python/Matlab, etc.); • good scientific English (reading and writing).
