Internship M2 - Advanced Dynamic Simulation Methods for Multi-Physical Meta-Structures
Contract type : Internship agreement
Level of qualifications required : Graduate degree or equivalent
Fonction : Internship Research
About the research centre or Inria department
The Inria Centre at Rennes University is one of Inria's eight centres and has more than thirty research teams. The Inria Centre is a major and recognized player in the field of digital sciences. It is at the heart of a rich R&D and innovation ecosystem: highly innovative PMEs, large industrial groups, competitiveness clusters, research and higher education players, laboratories of excellence, technological research institute, etc.
Context
The position will be hosted by the I4S team, a joint research team between Inria and Université Gustave Eiffel. The I4S team has offices at:
- Rennes, on the Beaulieu Scientific Campus (Av. Général Leclerc, 35042 Rennes)
- Nantes, on the Université Gustave Eiffel Campus (All. des Ponts et Chaussées, 44340 Bouguenais)
Assignment
Innovative architected - smart or functional - structures (i.e. meta-structures) are the locus of various vibrational or acoustic phenomena which require in-depth understanding, predicting and harnessing in civil and aerospace engineering. Their multi-physical nature raises theoretical, computational and phenomenological challenges which are currently the subject of frontier research. The recruited intern will be part of an Inria Exploratory Action, aiming to leverage state-of-the-art modelling strategies developed within the group, to unveil multi-physical meta-structures for dynamic control. The candidate will delve into wave physics, structural dynamics, finite elements and computational fluid dynamics.
Main activities
Two research tracks are proposed depending on the candidate's background and affinities.
Track 1: Computational wave mechanics
Track 2: Computational fluid dynamics
Details for both MSc tracks are available at: https://team.inria.fr/i4s/job-offers/
To succeed, the candidate must have:
- Outstanding problem-solving ability,
- Good track record (incl. English proficiency), showing background in subjects such as mechanics, physics or mathematics and a good computer/scientific programming literacy (e.g. Python, Matlab or Julia),
- A conscientious, self-motivated mindset and desire to pursue a scientific career.
Application procedure:
Field: "CV" — Upload a detailed curriculum vitae.
Field: "Recommendation" — Recommendation letters are not required. Instead, please upload your most recent academic transcripts (or M1 transcripts, if applicable).
Field: "Motivation" — To help us get to know you better, we ask you to upload a very short text file (.txt or .pdf):
- Indicating your preference between "Track 1" and "Track 2" and your preferred hosting location: "Rennes" or "Nantes",
- Telling, in 100 words or less, how you would like to embody the core values of a scientist.
