School presentation :
Grenoble-INP – Ense3, UGA is a general engineering school within the Grenoble INP-UGA institution. Its aim is to train engineers over a three-year period to contribute their knowledge, expertise, and skills to the energy and environmental transitions taking place in professions, sectors, and uses of water and energy.
Teaching Profile:
The position is part of the fluid mechanics teaching program, which is included throughout the engineering curriculum of many ENSE3 courses: first-year core curriculum, Hydraulics, Structures, and Environment (HOE), Mechanics and Energy (ME), Nuclear Energy Engineering (IEN), Energy Systems and Markets (SEM), the international master’s degree in Civil, Hydraulic, and Environmental Engineering (HCE), the international master’s degree in Fluid Mechanics and Energetics (FME), and the apprenticeship program. In these programs, fluid mechanics courses are taught during the first semesters of fundamental studies, then specialized studies, depending on the program and associated professions. The successful candidate will be required to teach both types of courses. A solid background and specialization in fluid mechanics for the environment is desirable.
Fluid mechanics and hydraulics courses are based on numerous practical work aimed at developing a wide range of skills associated with experimentation (sensors and measurements, observation, modeling, bias and uncertainties, presentation of results, writing, etc.). The experimental equipment is largely grouped together within an experimental teaching platform with technical support.
The successful candidate will be expected to make a specific commitment to this practical work so that, during the first few years in the role, updating the educational objectives and course descriptions in close collaboration with the relevant course coordinators and platform managers. Technological knowledge and the ability to liaise with FABLAB are also welcome.
Initially, the successful candidate will be able to start with fundamental and cross-disciplinary courses and, depending on their skills, more specialized courses. For example, he or she could teach maritime hydraulics (waves, coastal erosion, etc.), hydraulics, and modeling of flows in canals and rivers. He or she must be able to teach in English, particularly for second- and third-year courses.
In the longer term, teaching responsibilities are to be expected (responsibilities for teaching units, responsibility within one of the school’s departments, etc.).
The successful candidate will also be able to contribute to the school’s reputation among industrial and international partners by leveraging their existing networks or developing new ones. Finally, he or she will be able to actively participate in continuing education in his or her area of expertise.
Research
Host laboratory: Laboratoire des Écoulements Géophysiques et Industriels (LEGI)

Laboratory presentation :
The Laboratory of Geophysical and Industrial Fluid Dynamics (LEGI) is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 5519) of the
French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the Grenoble National Polytechnic Institute (Grenoble INP),
and Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA). LEGI conducts a wide range of activities built upon a shared core expertise:
research in fluid mechanics and transport phenomena.
Research Profile:
Environmental fluid mechanics is a key research area at LEGI, explored through a range of approaches including
laboratory experiments, field observations, fundamental analyses, and numerical modelling.
The assistant professor recruited within the MEIGE team (Modelling, Experiments and Instrumentation for Geophysics and the Environment) will develop and lead research activities related to environmental fluid mechanics and the associated physical processes (turbulence, multiphase flows, boundary layers). Their research will naturally involve interactions with other teams in the laboratory as well as with our institutional partners (OSUG community).
The candidate’s proposed project may address topics such as coastal and fluvial dynamics, sediment transport, or geophysical turbidity currents. Potential applications include climate-change resilience (civil engineering structures, coastal and riverbank erosion, avalanches).
The recruited person will be expected to develop research activities largely based on experimental work, making use of LEGI’s experimental facilities or those of its key partners (wave flume, variable-slope channel, steep-incline gravity channel, Coriolis platform, and the multidirectional wave basin of the Laboratoire d’Hydraulique de France hosted at Artelia).
This research should promote the development of both internal and external collaborations with other laboratories and research centers on site, as well as at the national and international level.
