Fonction Enseignement et recherche

IMT Nord Europe is a public institution of Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT), under the supervision of the French Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty. IMT Nord Europe has 3 main missions: training responsible engineers able to solve the major challenges of the 21st century; carrying out research leading to high-value innovations; and supporting territorial development, in particular by fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. Its objective is to train the engineers of tomorrow, proficient in both digital technologies and industrial know-how. Ideally located at the crossroads of Europe, 1 hour from Paris, 30 minutes from Brussels and 1.5 hours from London, IMT Nord Europe intends to become a major player in the industrial, digital and environmental transformations of the 21st century by combining engineering sciences and digital technologies in both its teaching and its research.

Located on 2 main teaching and research campuses, in Lille and Douai, IMT Nord Europe relies on more than 20,000 m² of laboratories to develop high-level teaching and research excellence in the following areas:

• Energy Environment
• Materials and Processes

The School also has sites in Dunkerque, Valenciennes and Alençon.

The position is open within the CERI Materials & Processes (CERI MP), a research centre positioned on the deployment of the new materials and processes required by the ecological and industrial transitions. CERI MP notably develops expertise in civil engineering, eco-materials, circular economy, bio-based and geo-based materials, recycling, waste valorization, durability of materials, multi-physics testing, modeling and digital processes.

In a context of transformation of the construction sector, BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a major lever for designing, building, operating, renovating and deconstructing buildings in a more sustainable way. This recruitment aims to strengthen IMT Nord Europe's training offer in the field of BIM and to develop an original research activity at the interface between the digital building model, materials knowledge, eco-design, circular economy and the overall performance of buildings throughout their life cycle.

In this context, IMT Nord Europe is recruiting a Lecturer / Assistant Professor whose missions are described below.

Missions:

Under the authority of the Director of CERI Materials & Processes, the position holder will develop teaching and research activities in the field of BIM applied to the sustainable performance of buildings. They will contribute to training engineers capable of using the digital building model and building data to design, optimize, monitor and improve the performance of structures, from the design phase through operation, renovation, deconstruction and the valorization of end-of-life materials.

The position is part of an education-research-innovation integration approach. It should create a strong link between the skills of CERI MP in sustainable construction materials, processes, recycling and material valorization, and the emerging needs of the building sector in terms of BIM, openBIM, life-cycle assessment, performance management and decision support.

• Contribute to the development and coordination of teaching in BIM, sustainable materials and building performance in the engineering and Master's programs;
• Develop a research activity on improving the performance of buildings over their life cycle, integrating the materials, environmental, economic and operational dimensions.

Teaching activities:

The successful candidate will take part in lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions, projects and supervision within the Civil and Environmental Engineering track, the DNM ADMODC – Advanced Design and Management of Durable Constructions, as well as in courses related to BIM, sustainable materials and building performance. They may also contribute to other programs of the School — initial training, apprenticeship or continuing education — according to educational needs.

• Design, deliver and develop engineering- and Master's-level courses on the fundamentals of BIM, the digital building model, openBIM, IFC, BIM coordination and information management;
• Develop applied courses linking BIM, construction materials, eco-design, life-cycle assessment, carbon indicators, energy performance, environmental performance and durability of structures;
• Set up tutorials and lab sessions involving: BIM modeling, data extraction and structuring, BIM-simulation and BIM-LCA coupling, materials information management, renovation and end-of-life scenarios;
