About this position

Postdoc in Atmospheric Sciences and Secondary Aerosol Fluxes

The CNRS Laboratory of Oceanography of Villefranche (LOV) is recruiting a postdoc for the ERC Consolidator project UNIVOC, funded through Horizon Europe. The position is based between Clermont Ferrand and Villefranche sur mer, France, for an 18-month contract with a preferred start date in January 2027.

The project focuses on the links between global change, harmful algal blooms, and ocean-human health. In particular, the postdoc will investigate the nature and fluxes of secondary aerosols produced during a natural dinoflagellate bloom, using Air-Sea Interface Tanks (ASIT) equipped with an in-line mass spectrometer API-Tof-MS. The work aims to improve understanding of airborne toxicity associated with dinoflagellate blooms and the sea-air transfer of toxic factors.

The successful candidate will be responsible for instrumental preparation, experimental set-up, mass spectrometer calibrations, participation in a one-month field campaign in the Basque country on the French Atlantic coast in July 2027, and the analysis and interpretation of nanoparticle fluxes and properties. The project involves collaboration with atmospheric scientists, oceanographers, toxicologists, and ecologists.

Eligibility highlights include a PhD or equivalent, skills in API-Tof-MS, and good English. This is a full-time temporary research position at a leading French oceanography laboratory with strong interdisciplinary links.

Applications should be sent by email to [email protected] before 31 October 2026.
