Postdoctoral researcher in systems & control – fuel cells M/F (F/H)
Environnement et contexte de travail
MINES Paris - PSL forme depuis sa création en 1783 des ingénieurs de très haut niveau capables de résoudre des problèmes complexes dans des champs très variés.
Première école d'ingénieurs en France par son volume de recherche contractuelle, MINES Paris - PSL dispense une importante activité de recherche orientée vers l’industrie. Ses domaines de recherche s’étendent de l'énergétique aux matériaux, en passant par les mathématiques appliquées, les géosciences et les sciences économiques et sociales. L’école d'ingénieurs développe également la création de chaires d’enseignement et de recherche sur des thèmes émergents.
Notre établissement fait partie de l'Université PSL. Située au cœur de Paris, celle-ci fait dialoguer tous les domaines du savoir, de l'innovation et de la création. Classée parmi les 50 premières universités mondiales, elle forme au plus près de la recherche des chercheurs, artistes, ingénieurs, entrepreneurs ou dirigeants conscients de leur responsabilité sociale, individuelle et collective.
Structure d'accueil
ARMINES, founded in 1967, is France's leading player in contract research, working closely with the École des Mines de Paris. It conducts public and private research projects in collaboration with industrial partners in France and abroad.
MINES Paris, a member of PSL University, trains generalist engineers through innovative teaching methods combining engineering sciences and humanities, with a strong focus on research.
Mission
Your environment:
As part of the EU HORIZON-JU-CLEANH2-2025 project MARINER, CAS is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a duration of 18 months. The MARINER project, funded under the Horizon Europe Clean Hydrogen Partnership, aims to develop and validate a 1 MW modular PEM fuel cell system for maritime applications, paving the way for scalable zero-emission propulsion solutions. Within this framework, this post-doctoral position focuses on designing advanced State-of-Health (SoH) monitoring and control strategies to ensure durability, reliability, and safety under harsh marine conditions.
Your challenges and responsibilities:
The position involves designing and validating advanced monitoring and control strategies for multi-stack PEM fuel cell systems. The work will combine physical measurements (voltage, pressure, temperature, flow) with data-driven analytics such as signal processing and anomaly detection to estimate the state of health of the system. Particular attention will be given to developing model-based observers for critical variables like membrane humidity, which cannot be measured directly.
Building on these insights, the researcher will implement SoH-aware control strategies to extend system lifetime and optimize performance. This includes adaptive cooling and humidity management, dynamic pressure and flow control for air and hydrogen loops, and improved hydrogen recirculation and purge strategies to enhance efficiency and autonomy. The developed algorithms will be validated under realistic maritime conditions and accelerated stress tests (AST), using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) platforms of the project. Finally, the postdoc will contribute to the open-source dissemination of models and control algorithms through the VirtualFCS platform, ensuring broad impact and adoption.
