The group leads and develops a rich ecosystem of partner schools, economic, academic, and institutional partners, key players in education, research, and economic development.

Mines Saint-Étienne, a graduate school of the Institut Mines-Télécom, is responsible for education, research, innovation, industrial transfer, and scientific culture dissemination. With 2,500 students, 500 staff, and a budget of €50m, it has three campuses dedicated to the industry of the future, health and well-being, and digital sovereignty and microelectronics. It is ranked in the top 15 graduate engineering schools in France and the top 500 universities worldwide.

The 2023-2027 strategy of Mines Saint-Etienne is in line with that of Institut Mines Telecom. It aims to support the ecological, digital, and generational transitions and educate the people involved, as well as support national and European sovereignty in microelectronics and digital technology.

To support this strategy, Mines Saint-Etienne is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher.

Job Description:

The project, Phosphogypsum Processing to Critical Raw Materials (PG2CRM), is a European Union-funded project spearheaded by EMSE. The objective is to develop an innovative process for Rare Earth Elements (REEs) recovery from Phosphogypsum (PG). The focus will be on the comprehensive use of PG, recovering REEs from it, and using the remaining gypsum matrix as an inexpensive material in construction or sound insulation.

In this context, the chemical engineering research center of Mines Saint-Etienne, SPIN, is in charge of the process of sustainable extraction and purification of REEs from PG, with the final goal of demonstrating an integrated pilot line. Special focus will be paid to waste reduction, management, and valorization along the process.

The present job offer is a 12-month postdoctoral contract, which will take place in the laboratory of Mines Saint-Etienne.

Key Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will be responsible for translating and implementing the processes developed in the laboratory setting onto a pilot scale.

As part of the PG2CRM project within the PEG-SPIN laboratory, the candidate will exploit experimental data collected at the laboratory scale, providing essential specifications for the implementation of thermodynamic modeling. This project aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding and effective management of the multitude of processes, phenomena, and mechanisms associated with the extraction of REEs.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in a relevant field, such as Chemical Engineering or Process Engineering. They will have a strong background in heat and mass transfer simulation, design, construction, and commissioning of industrial prototypes, and proficiency in CAD 3D & 2D software.

Why Join Us:

Institut Mines-Télécom is characterized by a scientific environment of excellence, a group with entities throughout France, and a commitment to fair treatment of all applicants. Mines Saint-Etienne is distinguished by a privileged working environment, first-rate experimental and digital resources, significant contract research activity, and a centre for scientific, technical, and industrial culture - La Rotonde - which is unique in France.
