PhD opportunity in aeronautics with Airbus

The IMS laboratory and Airbus are looking for a motivated PhD candidate to take part in aeronautical innovation and help shape the aircraft braking systems of tomorrow.

The aim of this PhD project is to be able to provide a modeling of the various components of a braking system in order to enable the optimized design of an aircraft anti-skid system.

Detail

Thesis title: « Aircraft Braking Dynamic Model Derivation for Nonlinear Robust Control Design. »

  • Location: IMS laboratory, Bordeaux, France & Airbus, Toulouse, France
  • Start date: November 1st, 2025
  • Duration: 3 years

This project offers a stimulating working environment at the intersection of modeling, simulation and the practical challenges of aeronautical engineering. 
The ideal candidate must hold an Engineering/M2 Research Master’s degree in control engineering or applied mathematics and have an interest in mechanics and numerical simulation.

Fluent English is expected, as well as an advanced level in French.

Please note that the first stage in the selection process is carried out by the Airbus human resources department.
If the candidate is selected during this first stage, an interview with the supervisors will be expected for the second stage.
