Entreprise : FIT SA (Experts du marché des ingrédients laitiers pour les professionnels - Fit (fitsa-group.com))

Laboratoire : UMR1302 SMART, Laboratoire d'Etudes et de Recherches en Economie sur les Structures et Marchés Agricoles, Ressources et Territoires, INRAe (Internet SMART - (inrae.fr))

L’entreprise FIT SA est spécialisée dans la distribution d’ingrédients laitiers pour l’industrie agro-alimentaire (beurres industriels en cube, crèmes pasteurisées pour l’industrie, ingrédients laitiers en poudre, fromages ingrédients, préparations laitières…) et ce, à travers le monde entier. Elle propose une gamme complète aux conditionnements et spécificités adaptés aux contraintes industrielles de plusieurs métiers (BVP, biscuiterie, chocolaterie, confiserie, plats préparés…) répondant aux cahiers des charges les plus stricts.

Présente dans les principaux pays exportateurs et importateurs, et partenaire de nombreuses laiteries en France et en Europe, FIT possède une vision globale et exhaustive du marché. Grâce à l’engagement et à la rigueur de toute son équipe au service des intérêts de ses partenaires, ce réseau de compétences humaines et logistiques lui permet d’intégrer parfaitement les exigences du marché laitier.

Objet de la thèse :

L’entreprise FIT SA en collaboration avec le laboratoire SMART de l’INRAE et l’INSTITUT AGRO ainsi que le centre de recherche en Agribusiness de Rennes SB vous offrent l’opportunité d’effectuer une thèse en entreprise (convention CIFRE) sur les marchés de matières premières.

Les études réalisées porteront principalement sur la mesure et la modélisation des risques de marché associés aux fluctuations de prix des produits laitiers tels que la poudre de lait écrémé, le beurre ou encore le lait entier. Comprendre les dynamiques passées des prix contractés sur les marchés physiques et sur les marchés financiers pour les différents produits laitiers en fonction notamment de leur maturité permettra d’anticiper la dynamique future de la base (différence de prix entre une matière première donnée et son contrat à terme).

Cet effort de recherche dans la gestion du risque de base est déterminant pour cette industrie exposée à des prix de marché et des marges de plus en plus volatiles depuis la fin des quotas laitiers. Dans le cadre de cette thèse en entreprise, le doctorant aura en charge la modélisation statistique des facteurs de risques (macroéconomique, politique, climatique, volatilité croisée…) étant à l’origine de ces fluctuations de prix et leur simulation afin de quantifier leur impact potentiel à différents horizons. Ces modèles auront pour finalité la mise en place de stratégies de couverture efficientes sur des produits dérivés adaptés (contrats à terme et options) mais souvent illiquides pour des groupes industriels de dimension locale et internationale collaborant avec l’entreprise FIT SA.

Descriptif du poste :

Pour cela, vous aurez pour missions de :

  • Prendre connaissance des éléments de solution disponibles : état de l’art concernant la modélisation du risque de marché et la valorisation de produits dérivés (futures et options).
  • Définir et implémenter une modélisation du risque de base faisant intervenir les données spatio-temporelles relatives à différentes variables explicatives. Ce modèle permettra de représenter la dynamique des prix de manière univariée pour chaque composante de la marge laitière ainsi que de manière multivariée en prenant en compte les dépendances temporelles.
  • Collecter les prix OTC afin d’enrichir la base de données unique de l’entreprise FIT SA.
  • Développer une plateforme de simulation associée à un générateur de scénario reposant sur ce nouveau modèle de la courbe à terme afin de déterminer l’exposition au risque d’un ensemble de positions données.
  • Proposer une méthode statistique permettant de tester la validité des hypothèses statistiques retenues.
  • Développer une stratégie de couverture afin de piloter l’exposition au risque du groupe FIT SA.

Name and description of the research project:

The role of agency and morality in dehumanization - an integrative approach

In this project, we undertake to study the predictors of dehumanization (Aim 1) and interventions to reduce dehumanization (Aim 2). We propose a systematic research program in cooperation with partners from Israel, Spain and Great Britain. To explore the causes of the dehumanization of others (Aim 1), we will examine whether the two most basic dimensions by which we judge other people, i.e. agency and morality, contribute to dehumanization. To explore interventions that reduce dehumanization (Aim 2), we will focus on disadvantaged groups as they are the most likely victims of dehumanization. We will investigate whether increasing the agency of these groups - by describing them as successful in their actions (compared to failures) - will reduce their dehumanization.

La conception de moteurs aéronautiques de nouvelle génération nécessite l'intégration de simulations à résolution d'échelle d'ordre élevé (SRS) et de méthodologies d'optimisation dans les flux de travail industriels standards. Les futurs concepts de moteurs nécessitent d'ouvrir l'espace de conception et de résoudre des problèmes de conception complexes hors de portée des processus de conception industrielle standard d'aujourd'hui dans les délais requis. Dans le cadre du projet collaboratif Horizon cluster 5 Sci-Fi-Turbo, nous cherchons à répondre à ce besoin urgent en exploitant les opportunités de trois technologies fondamentales : le calcul haute performance, les méthodes numériques d'ordre élevé et l'IA/ML. Cette combinaison est utilisée pour mettre en œuvre et démontrer des avancées clés dans la conception de turbomachines.

Participants : Sci-Fi-Turbo est dirigé par le Centre allemand de recherche aérospatiale DLR (Cologne) et comprend des partenaires tels que GE-Allemagne, ANSYS, Sorbonne Université, Imperial College, Université de Melbourne, CINECA, Université de Braunshweig, Chalmers.

Objectif : Modèles de turbulence à la volée basés sur des données pour une conception aérodynamique haute fidélité Les processus de conception de turbomachines industrielles s'appuient sur des solveurs (U)RANS à volumes finis du second ordre. Le changement radical requis dans la capacité prédictive a toutefois nécessité l'introduction d'approches précises de haut niveau et SRS dans le processus de conception. Néanmoins, la maturité actuelle des solveurs SRS d’ordre élevé compatibles HPC pour les applications de turbomachines n’est pas suffisante pour être utilisée dans les flux de travail de conception industrielle standard. Seul un très petit nombre de SRS peuvent être réalisés lors d’une optimisation, en raison de leur coût de calcul élevé. Pour atténuer cela, nous prévoyons d'exploiter les données SRS haute fidélité pour former et Des modèles RANS augmentés par apprentissage automatique, et plus particulièrement des modèles basés sur des données en boîte ouverte basés sur des algorithmes d'identification symbolique [1,2], pour fournir des niveaux de précision proches de SRS, au moins à proximité de l'ensemble d'entraînement. Les objectifs des travaux de thèse sont les suivants : parvenir à une formation de modèle informatiquement efficace et automatisée, pour permettre un recyclage « à la volée » lors de l'optimisation, si nécessaire ; assurer la robustesse numérique des modèles basés sur les données, qui doivent répondre à des critères de convergence stricts pour éviter les incertitudes associées aux erreurs de solution ; développer des modèles basés sur des données qui soient généralisables sur une sous-région suffisamment grande de l'espace des paramètres, et pour éviter des erreurs d'extrapolation catastrophiques ou la nécessité d'un recyclage trop fréquent. Pour relever ces défis, les approches basées sur les données sera contraint de garantir le bon comportement des modèles (invariance, symétries, réalisabilité). De plus, nous étudierons les critères de généralisation, par exemple basés sur la distance de Malahanobis ou les limites PAC-Bayes [3,4]. Ces critères seront utilisés pour mesurer la fiabilité prédictive du modèle et déclencher un recyclage si nécessaire.

Plan de travail : Les travaux de thèse seront répartis sur trois ans. Il/elle devra travailler en étroite interaction avec les autres membres de l'équipe (personnel permanent, doctorant et postoc impliqués dans Sci-Fi-Turbo) et participer aux activités du projet : interactions avec d'autres partenaires, participation aux réunions d'avancement, rédaction de rapports. Elle/Il devra également participer aux activités de diffusion en participant à des conférences internationales et en rédigeant des articles.

Le programme provisoire est le suivant : • Bibliographie sur les modèles de turbulence augmentés par apprentissage automatique et les critères de généralisation. Collecte de données de formation et de validation (y compris les données générées au sein du consortium Sci-Fi-Turbo) et génération de bases de données SRS supplémentaires si nécessaire. Enquête sur des techniques de formation informatiques efficaces et entièrement automatiques. • Enquête sur les critères d'optimalité des données d'entraînement. Formation du modèle RANS basé sur les données et évaluation sur une variété de cas de test. Enquête sur les capacités de généralisation et estimation des incertitudes prédictives. Définition de mesures d'extrapolation adaptées et de critères de reconversion. Définition d'un workflow automatique. • Application du workflow aux configurations de compresseurs Sci-Fi-Turbo et validation approfondie. Intégration au sein d'algorithmes d'optimisation multi-fidélité développés par PhD2 et application à la conception d'une aube de compresseur.

The National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) are inviting applications in the field of "Non-power nuclear and radiological technologies" for a Ph.D. position through the Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) scheme (Agreement n. 36149).

Place of work:

The Ph.D. research will be carried out jointly at the National Center of Nuclear Research Nomaten Center of Excellence 7 Andrzeja Sołtana str. 05-400 Otwock-Świerk, Poland

and

The European Commission – Joint Research Centre Nuclear Safety and Security Directorate Westerduinweg 3 1755 LE Petten, The Netherlands.

Research topic description: 

The person hired will carry out the research topic related to the project entitled "Mechanical and structural properties of RAFM steels - impact of radiation damage.", which is funded by the National Science Center under the POLONEZ BIS competition – project number 2022/47/P/ST5/01169 (project leader Dr. Tymofii Khvan).

Materials under neutron irradiation are subject to irradiation damage and degradation of their mechanical properties. However, neutron irradiation studies for research purposes are complicated, time-consuming, and expensive, so emulating neutron irradiation damage by much faster and cost-effective ion irradiation is of high interest. At the same time, ion irradiation avoids activation of the irradiated material. However, the emulation of neutron irradiation by ion irradiation damage is limited by transferability issues and experimental uncertainties linked to the limited penetration of the energetic ions. The goal of the work is to improve our understanding of the phenomena associated with the formation and evolution of ion irradiation-induced defects and their role in the deformation behavior in ferritic/martensitic (f/m) steels, incl. pure Fe, Fe9%Cr, Fe9%Cr-NiSiP and Eurofer 97. Nanoindentation will be carried out using different indenter shapes to study irradiation hardening. Radiation-induced defects will be identified by TEM. Complementary analyses will be carried out, including plasma-focused ion beam tomography of indents. The project aims at establishing and validating a comprehensive testing protocol with complementary investigations to support the experimental activities. An experimental/computational procedure is targeted for effectively characterizing ion irradiation as a surrogate for neutron irradiation. The project will also contribute to developing and validating models for size effects during nanoindentation in irradiated steels through a statistical sampling approach across a specimen surface. It is well known that size effects are influenced by irradiation; however, the origin has been debated. Micromechanical models and validation experiments will be performed that will account for geometrically necessary dislocations generated at the indent. Based on dislocation dynamics formulations in samples with various defects/defect clusters, a machine-learning approach will be developed to evaluate nanoindentation responses in irradiated metals. The Ph.D. project is expected to effectively improve experimental/computational protocols for the fast, safe, and reliable assessment of the irradiation impact on the mechanical properties of structural steels. The topic is in line with the research carried out by the NCBJ and in line with the mission of the JRC. Therefore, the Ph.D. candidate will conduct his/her research for up to 24 months at the Joint Research Centre in Petten underemployment as a grant holder through the Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) scheme (Agreement n. 36149). The candidate will be enrolled in NCBJ Ph.D. school and awarded a Ph.D. Degree in Physics at the end of the three to four-year Programme after successfully completing the entire Ph.D. requirements, including the successful defense of the Thesis as provided by the NCBJ Ph.D. school Regulations on Ph.D. Programmes.

We are looking for a doctoral candidate for a fully funded position (0.8 – 1.0 FTE) to conduct individual research focused on understanding new meanings of value in the built environment.

In commercial property markets the focus is placed on assessing real estate as an investment asset. This type of thinking leads to discussions in industry and studies in academia centered around the identification of market and investment values, return and risk assessments, or financial portfolio management. Research demonstrates that this type of thinking limits investments that could yield in energy efficiency in buildings or broader sustainable and circular actions in real estate. Expenditures supporting these actions are often seen as affecting investment returns, creating tangible and hidden costs and risks to the investor and therefore lacking a compelling business case.

Traditional appraisal methods are too focused on determining property values based on physical building-specific features (e.g., size of the building, energy consumption, or number of rooms), taking a perspective of an exchange value of a building but ignoring intangible aspects that can create a different value for the customer. As value is traditionally understood as a monetary expression of customers’ willingness to pay, those intangible aspects of a tangible asset (building) should also be included in pricing and appraisal.

Therefore, a value-based pricing approach could be a potential way to encourage commercial real estate markets to move away from cost and competition to more value-based logics. A value-based approach is common for service and customer-experience driven economies where value is understood as subjective (and changing) to the user/buyer. However, this type of approach requires a different view to what we define as value and/or different approach to the overall valuation process. With this research, we aim at creating a framework that could serve as a tool for further development of new valuation/appraisal approaches for commercial real estate. To reach this, multiple steps need to be taken:

  • Untangling value understanding of commercial buildings to different stakeholders and trade-offs they are willing to make
  • Identifying the potential and limitations of value-based approach in comparison to traditional appraisal methods
  • Defining metrics that could capture previously identified value properties/attributes
  • Formulating suitable measures for improved commercial real estate value appraisal

This research would require knowledge and understanding of economic and business administration perspective, knowledge on commercial property markets and systems thinking in order to understand the complexity of the built environment and take a holistic approach towards it.

As part of the TU Delft, faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, department of Management in the Built Environment, we focus on rethinking, developing and applying new economic and financial value concepts for a future-proof built environment. We are constantly searching for adjustments in the system to enable flexibility and resilience of the built environment, creating benefits for people, industry and the society as a whole.

Surgical operating rooms contribute considerably to the emission of greenhouse gases, pollution and waste. Clinicians, hospitals and patients, however, have to weigh the benefits of reducing the environmental impacts of medical treatments against many other considerations such as costs and health benefits. Which moral principles can guide us on how to include environmental considerations in these decisions?

After thoroughly investigating the state of the art at the crossroads of environmental and medical ethics, you will perform moral analysis to find answers to the following kind of questions. What are the respective responsibilities of hospitals, individual medical professionals, governments or patients, given the fact that environmental problems are social dilemmas? To what extent is a health professional in position to balance the common good against the wellbeing of patients? How does green decision-making fit the four principles of ethics in healthcare that are commonly distinguished since Beauchamp and Childress's seminal analysis, i.e. autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice? The objective is to formulate practical guidelines.

This project is part of a larger NWO-funded research project called CAREFREE (Creating A healthieR Environment for FutuRE patiEnts)) led by Maastricht University. The overall objective of the CAREFREE project is to increase the sense of urgency among stakeholders to behave more sustainably. The project has a multidisciplinary approach, combining methods from social psychology, ethics and philosophy, sustainability, surgery, anaesthesiology, pharmacology and toxicology, health economics and operations research. Therefore, you will collaborate in a multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary setting, obtaining insights from and offering insights to researchers and actors in other fields than your own, such as psychologists, economists and clinicians.

This position is free of teaching duties.

Requirements

Specific Requirements
  • You hold a Master's degree in ethics or political philosophy.
  • You have a demonstrable interest in environmental and/or medical ethics.
  • You have a demonstrable interest and experience in academic research (e.g. through good thesis research).
