R&D Apprentice - Study of the influence of additives (M/F)

Why do we need you? Faced with environmental and economic challenges, cementitious materials are undergoing continuous evolution, marked by the development and deployment of low-carbon footprint solutions. In order to maintain a high level of performance for these new materials, additive formulations must be regularly adapted within the framework of research and development projects.

The objective of this apprenticeship is to characterize the influence of additives on the reactivity and performance of low-carbon footprint cementitious materials.

The apprentice will have the following missions:

• Bibliographic research
• Characterization of materials and evaluation of additive performance within cementitious materials (X-ray diffraction, isothermal calorimetry, ion dosage in solution by ICP)

• Compilation of results and presentation during regular meetings with the management team
• Participation in the life of the laboratory and the research team

This apprenticeship will also be an opportunity for the student to discover the high technicality of cementitious materials as well as the functioning and challenges of a research and development department in a dynamic economic activity.
