PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Architecture in France

This doctoral project is hosted at the Institute of Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) on the CNRS campus at Gif-sur-Yvette, within a collaborative research network involving IJPB-INRAE (Versailles) and IGEPP-INRAE (Rennes) . The thesis focuses on how modifying vacuolar nitrate storage can alter nitrogen use efficiency , water use efficiency , and tolerance to water stress in Arabidopsis thaliana . The work centers on the nitrate transporter CLCa and asks how changing nitrate storage in diff...

This doctoral project is part of the ANR PALWOOD programme (2026–2030), which investigates the evolution of wood during the Paleozoic, from the first appearance of wood in the early Devonian to the end-Permian crisis. The project brings together researchers from multiple French research units, including AMAP (Montpellier), CR2P (Paris) and EEP (Lille), with international collaborators. The thesis focuses on the anatomical disparity of homoxylous woods , i.e. woods without vessels. The doctoral r...

This postdoctoral project focuses on the molecular-scale structural description of the conductive polymer complex PEDOT:PSS , whose organization remains debated in the scientific literature. The research aims to adapt cryo-TEM structural reconstruction approaches developed in structural biology to a chemistry and polymer-science context. The selected researcher will work on high-resolution cryo-TEM datasets to identify structures in micrographs, select objects according to morphology, and optimi...

This postdoctoral position is hosted at the PMMH, the Laboratory of Physics and Mechanics of Heterogeneous Media (UMR 7636 CNRS–ESPCI–PSL–Sorbonne Université–Université Paris Cité), in Paris. The project sits at the interface of fluid mechanics, soft matter physics and environmental microbiology, and focuses on how microplastics interact with microorganisms in flowing environments. The postdoctoral researcher will study the hetero-aggregation of microplastics with microorganisms , quantifying ho...

The ENS Rennes is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the European SmartCORE project (Interreg North-West Europe), a consortium of 15 partners from 5 countries working to support citizen energy communities and increase renewable energy integration. The successful researcher will join the SyEnsCES team at the IETR laboratory (UMR CNRS 6164), which focuses on sustainable energy systems and intelligent management of electrical grids. The position is embedded in a French demonstrator developed ...

The Institut des Sciences de la Terre in Grenoble is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ANR NaturaLDH project, focused on the composition of natural layered double hydroxides and their role in the alteration of mantle rocks. The postdoctoral work centers on developing an analytical protocol for natural layered double hydroxides using anion exchange and ion chromatography, then applying that protocol to natural samples to determine their composition and the conditions under which they f...

This position is based in the Department of Flexible Electronics (FEL) at the Centre Microélectronique de Provence, within Ecole nationale supérieure des mines de Saint-Etienne. The role sits at the intersection of research, innovation, and training, with a strong focus on flexible and stretchable electronics for autonomous systems. The successful candidate will work on the design of complete systems, from sensors through to communication modules, taking into account energy and environmental con...

This postdoctoral position is part of the national France 2030 ecological transition strategy and the PEPR programme on sustainable cities and innovative buildings. The post is based at the Université de Bordeaux and focuses on the operational centre CO MESAP (“Méthodes et stratégies de l’action publique”), which works on the evaluation of urban policies . The wider project is organised around a central project and three operational centres: one dedicated to data management and visualisation at ...

This postdoctoral project is centered on the direct conversion of CO2 into liquid fuels through a Fischer-Tropsch-based route. The research addresses a major challenge for low-carbon transport: transforming captured carbon dioxide and hydrogen from renewable electricity into synthetic fuels that can fit existing infrastructure and fleets. The position is hosted at IMT Mines Albi-Carmaux and is part of a collaborative effort involving two laboratories, RAPSODEE in Albi and LCC in Toulouse . The w...
