About the Company

INRAE, l’Institut national de recherche pour l’agriculture, l’alimentation et l’environnement, est un acteur majeur de la recherche et de l’innovation créé le 1er janvier 2020. Institut de recherche finalisé issu de la fusion entre l’Inra et Irstea, INRAE rassemble une communauté de 12 000 personnes, avec un peu plus de 200 unités de recherche et une quarantaine d’unités expérimentales implantées dans 18 centres sur toute la France. L’institut se positionne parmi les tout premiers leaders mondiaux en sciences agricoles et alimentaires, en sciences du végétal et de l’animal, et se classe 11ème mondial en écologie-environnement. INRAE a pour ambition d’être un acteur clé des transitions nécessaires pour répondre aux grands enjeux mondiaux. Face à l’augmentation de la population, au changement climatique, à la raréfaction des ressources et au déclin de la biodiversité, l’institut construit des solutions pour des agricultures multi-performantes, une alimentation de qualité et une gestion durable des ressources et des écosystèmes. http://jobs.inrae.fr

Ingénieur-e en modélisation numérique

Job Description

**Job Title** Numerical Modeling Engineer **Role Summary** Lead the development and application of Material Point Method (MPM) models to simulate the impact and contact dynamics of irregular rock blocks against deformable ground. Work within a research unit focused on mountain natural hazard prevention, collaborating with experimental field investigations and laboratory tests. Contribute to comparative studies of lumped-mass and rigid-body approaches and publish findings in scientific venues. **Expectations** - Finalize and validate MPM-based simulations for block‑ground interaction. - Analyze model performance across diverse real-world conditions. - Publish results and contribute to the project’s scientific output. **Key Responsibilities** 1. Extend existing MPM frameworks to include polyhedral rock block geometry and elastic–plastic soil response. 2. Perform and interpret impact simulations using the developed models. 3. Compare simulation outcomes with laboratory bounce tests and field data. 4. Draft technical reports and peer‑reviewed articles. 5. Collaborate cross‑functionally with the ECRINS team and other UMR IGE units. **Required Skills** - Master’s level or equivalent in numerical mechanics, applied mathematics, or related field. - Strong grounding in solid mechanics and numerical modeling. - Experience developing and validating numerical models, preferably with MPM or similar methods. - Proficiency in Python (model development, post‑processing) and data analysis tools. - Ability to write clear technical documentation and scientific manuscripts. **Required Education & Certifications** - Master’s (M.Sc.) or Engineer’s degree (Bac+5) in Numerical Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent. - Demonstrated expertise in solid mechanics and numerical simulation.
