Doctoral, post-doctoral and internship opportunities
Ph.D. Opportunities
The "High-Voltage Processes" team at the SIAME laboratory at the University of Pau and the Pays de l'Adour is seeking a student for a Ph.D. position starting in October 2026.
The successful candidate will work on the DOéBât project (Energy Optimization Approach for Buildings), funded by the PSGAR CERENA (Regional High-Ambition Scientific Programs) of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the CARNOT ISIFOR Institute, which aims to propose a new methodology that optimally combines the automation of building energy management with consideration of residents’ practices and how they evolve.

Presentation of the SIAMELaboratory for applied sciences in mechanics and electrical engineering
The SIAME laboratory is a research team of the University of Pau and the Pays de l'Adour whose research is carried out in the field of Engineering Sciences.
The unit is structured in 4 teams:
- Complex and energetic flows (EE),
- Geomaterials and structures for civil engineering (GS),
- Wave / Structure Interaction (IVS),
- High Voltage Processes (PHT).
The research is based on experimental expertise, modelling and numerical simulations.
The laboratory is a member of the research federations IPRA and MIRA, of the Carnot ISIFOR Institute.
One of the Laboratory's major assets is its long-standing partnership activity, which is reflected in the participation of teams in three joint research laboratories (SAGE, KOSTARISK and UPPA - Nobatek/INEF4).
The University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour has defined two values that guide its research activity:
- Reconciling science and society for a reasoned progress
- To act within a territory.
For the period 2022-2026, these values are broken down into five interdisciplinary missions focused on societal issues.
The research work and projects of SIAME researchers contribute to 4 of these 5 interdisciplinary missions.
|
Mission 1 (blue): |
Adapting coastal, forest and mountain ecosystems to make them more resilient |
|
Mission 2 (green): |
Reconciling development, a secure environment and preserved biodiversity |
|
Mission 3 (pink): |
Organizing energy subsidiarity at the territorial level |
|
Mission 4 (purple): |
Represent and build the territories of the future |
Even if the positioning is very marked within the teams (for example: mission 4 for the GS team, mission 1 for the IVS team, missions 2 and 3 for the EE team), our overall analysis shows a good balance on these missions.
