About this position

CNRS is advertising a postdoctoral position in geology numerical modelling based at Géosciences Environnement Toulouse (GET) in Toulouse, France. The project focuses on lithosphere-scale processes, sedimentary basin evolution, thermo-mechanical modelling, and surface process modelling, with applications to the Aquitaine Basin, foreland basin evolution, stratigraphy, thermal history, and subsurface resource exploration.

The postdoc is part of the PEPR sous-sol, bien commun project IDYLLE (Impact of Lithosphere Dynamics and Basin Evolution on the Exploration of Energy Resources and Geological Potential). The broader project studies heat flux, lithosphere density, vertical motions, stratigraphy, H₂ production/storage, and basin-scale modelling of heat and fluid migration pathways.

Supervision is by Delphine Rouby (Géosciences Environnement Toulouse) and Ritske Huismans (University of Bergen), with collaboration from Eric Lasseur (BRGM) and Cécile Robin (Géosciences Rennes).

Eligibility highlights: PhD or equivalent in Earth Sciences; training in general geology, structural geology, and sedimentary basin geology; experience in numerical modelling of geological processes; basic French required. The post is full-time and temporary.

Funding: The announcement does not specify a stipend amount, but it is a paid postdoctoral contract. It is not funded through an EU Research Framework Programme.

Deadline: 2026-10-09 23:59 UTC.

How to apply: Submit the application through the CNRS portal. Prepare a single PDF including a cover letter, CV, transcripts and diplomas, certificates/references, proof of English proficiency if needed, PhD thesis, publication list, and the names/contact details of two referees.
