Postdoctoral Fellowship in Acoustics at Le Mans Université (18 months) Le Mans Université in France

This 18-month postdoctoral fellowship in acoustics is offered by Le Mans Université, specifically within the Acoustics Laboratory (LAUM), a leading international research center in acoustics and wave physics. The position is funded by the Institut d'Acoustique - Graduate School (École Universitaire de Recherche, EUR) and aims to support young researchers in advancing their scientific independence and contributing to the laboratory's research priorities.

LAUM is a joint research unit (UMR 6613) between Le Mans Université and CNRS, comprising 160 members, including around 70 permanent researchers. The laboratory is renowned for its expertise in guides and structures, materials, and transducers, and is equipped with state-of-the-art experimental facilities. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers across LAUM's three teams and participate in a vibrant scientific community.

The postdoctoral researcher will develop and execute a research project aligned with LAUM's scientific priorities. The initial months will focus on defining and implementing methods to address the project's scientific challenges. The work is expected to result in publications in leading scientific journals and participation in one or more conferences. The research project must be developed in coordination with a LAUM researcher, group, or team, and all applications require a letter of support from a LAUM researcher who will act as the candidate's scientific supervisor.

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in physics, acoustics, or a closely related field, with demonstrated expertise in one or more of the laboratory's core areas. The position supports theoretical, numerical, or experimental research, depending on the candidate's background. Strong skills in scientific writing and publication are essential.

The contract offers a gross monthly salary of €3030, with a provisional start date of April 1, 2026. Applications must include a detailed CV, cover letter, research project proposal fitting the laboratory's research lines, at least two academic references, and translations of documents if not in French. The deadline for applications is January 4, 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview.
