Offer Description
Founded in 1843, IMT Mines Alès currently has 1,400 students (including 250 foreign students) and 380 staff members. The school has three high-level scientific and technological research and teaching centers working in the fields of materials and civil engineering (C2MA), the environment and risks (CREER), and artificial intelligence and industrial and digital engineering (CERIS). It has 12 technology platforms and 1,600 partner companies.
The ISOAR team (Systems and Organization Engineering for Risky Activities) currently has eight teachers/researchers (including four professors and five HdR) and more than 16 doctoral students.
These professors/researchers develop tool-based methods to support and assist a group of multi-disciplinary actors involved in engineering or reengineering projects for systems known to be complex. These may be critical infrastructures (e.g., for the production of goods and services), socio-technical systems (e.g., companies), or technical systems (e.g., mechatronic products). These projects involve and engage these stakeholders in terms of accountability and control of various types of risks (e.g., project, product, process, environmental, economic, or regulatory). This generally leads to a need for collaboration, mutual understanding, modeling and simulation, iterative and confident progress, justification, and decision support. To this end, the ISOAR team is promoting a research focus on model-based engineering (MBE) and model-based system engineering (MBSE).
The CERIS ISOAR team, in collaboration with the I2M laboratory at ENSAM Bordeaux, is at the forefront of research on product-service systems (PSS). As part of the P3S4ALL project, the objective is to develop decision-making tools for the implementation of sustainable economic models based on the functional economy.
You will actively contribute to the P3S4ALL (Sustainable Product-Service System for All) project, which focuses on the simulation and design of sustainable PSS systems. Your main tasks will include:
- Three-dimensional modeling and simulation of PSS scenarios.
- Development of indicators for evaluating sustainable PSS solutions and reconfigurable systems.
- Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams from the LSR and I2M laboratories to integrate simulation and optimization approaches.
- Participation in the creation of an intelligent simulation tool for testing different product/service combination scenarios and evaluating their environmental and economic viability.
- Drafting of technical reports and promotion of results (publications, conferences).
