Université Paris-Saclay is announcing the upcoming 2nd call for applications for the UPSaclay-STAR-φ programme, a postdoctoral fellowship scheme in Physics co-funded by the European Union under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND 2024 call.

This opportunity is aimed at postdoctoral fellows in Physics and offers up to 22 full-time positions for 24 months. Fellows will have research freedom across all fields of Physics and can work in one of more than 40 top-tier laboratories, at the SOLEIL synchrotron, or at the French National Metrology Lab (LNE).

The programme is hosted by Université Paris-Saclay, a major French research university with a strong physics ecosystem and access to leading facilities and collaborators. The call is open from 2026-04-15 to 2026-07-15 at 5:00 PM. The expected start date is early 2027, with flexibility up to October 2027.

Applicants should prepare a research project aligned with the programme’s physics research environment. The post does not specify a stipend amount or additional personal funding details in the announcement, but it is clearly a funded postdoctoral fellowship under the EU COFUND/MSCA framework.

Interested candidates should read the programme details on the official website and submit their application before the deadline.
