ENGLISH VERSION

Joining Mines Saint-Étienne means committing to an institution where science and innovation build a more sustainable future. A school of excellence where everyone has the opportunity to reveal their full potential and contribute to meeting the challenges of tomorrow.

Ranked among the best engineering schools in France and recognized worldwide, our school, a member of the Institut Mines-Télécom, trains the talents of tomorrow while actively contributing to meeting major industrial, digital and environmental challenges. With us, you join a community of 500 employees, 2,500 students, and participate in an ambitious project: combining academic excellence, cutting-edge research and positive societal impact.

The Institut Mines-Télécom brings together the French Grandes Ecoles around major industrial, digital, energy and ecological challenges. With its 8 public Grandes Écoles and 2 subsidiary schools, it is the first public institute dedicated to engineers and managers. Together, we imagine and build a sustainable future, by training the actors who will shape tomorrow's transitions.

At Mines Saint-Étienne, our research centers are the beating heart of our School.

Designed as true hubs of innovation, our five Training and Research Centers articulate their expertise around major industrial, environmental, societal and technological issues.

Their mission? Imagine the world of tomorrow by combining academic excellence and concrete impact.

Do you dream of a clean, efficient and sustainable industry? The SPIN center makes this its priority.

Energy, environment, industrial processes... we design systems to producebetter, with less.

The goal? Limit environmental impact, reduce energy consumption and boost efficiency.

🔧 In a rapidly changing world, our teams deploy their scientific creativity to support theindustry of the future. 

Et vous, prêt·e à innover à nos côtés ?

🎯 Ce que nous attendons de vous

As a doctoral student, you are at the heart of our research and innovation missions and, to a lesser extent, our teaching missions. You will be assigned to the SPIN – LGF center (Georges Friedel Laboratory, UMR CNRS 5307). Within this center, you combine scientific passion and societal impact.

The SPIN center (Industrial and Natural Process Science), which will be heavily involved in the thesis, is developing, within Mines Saint-Etienne, its expertise in the field of Process Engineering applied to dispersed systems: grains, particles, drops, bubbles, porous media. He also has skills in sensor and instrumentation development.

CO2 capture and storage technologies are key technologies for the decarbonization of the industrial sector. Offshore storage has already demonstrated its feasibility, but onshore storage seems necessary to increase storage capacity while reducing CO2 transport. However, the proximity of these sites to populations makes their deployments uncertain and raises questions relating to social acceptability.

Long-term monitoring of CO2 storage sites, required by the European CCS directive, constitutes an opportunity to strengthen transparency and local acceptance of storage by engaging stakeholders in the acquisition and interpretation of data. However, current monitoring systems do not make it possible to carry out in-situ measurements, if
