The project is announced by Dr. Tristan Biard and Dr. Jill Sutton and is aimed at candidates interested in marine and plankton biogeochemistry, especially trace-element cycling and related analytical work. Research focus: plankton bio-geochemistry, marine bio-geochemistry, trace-element geochemistry, IC...

PhD opportunity in Catalytic Materials at CIRIMAT, LGC and CEA-Tech in Toulouse, France, within the INCANTO Project. The project focuses on binder jetting and DLI-CVD for the fabrication of high-surface-area objects , making this a strong fit for candidates interested in materials science , chemical engineering , and chemistry with an experimental profile. The supervision team includes Lucile Mage , Abderrahime Sekkat , Benoit Malard , and Claire Tendero . The advertised position is part of an a...

Post-doctoral fellowship opportunity in Rennes, France, with teams at Inserm U1236 and Inserm U1242 (OSS). This opportunity is aimed at researchers interested in biomedical and life science research, with a possible pathway to apply for a highly competitive Inserm CRCN position after the initial contract. The post is shared by Eric Chevet and highlights a 3-year contract. The research environment is centered in Rennes and linked to Inserm research units. While the post does not list a specific p...

Aix-Marseille Université is offering a 1-year postdoctoral research contract within the Institute of Movement Sciences (ISM UMR7287) in Marseille, France, at the intersection of movement sciences, anthropology, neurophysiology, and rehabilitation . The project is part of the PEPR REINVENT programme and focuses on how phantom limb phenomena such as voluntary phantom movements and induced sensations can be integrated into prosthetic control to make prosthesis use more intuitive and reduce cognitiv...

Postdoctoral position in chemistry available for 24 months at the University of Brest, within the COSM team at CEMCA (UMR CNRS 6521), Brest, France. The project focuses on functional macrocyclic chelators for imaging mass cytometry (IMC). IMC combines antibody-based detection with metal isotope labels to map many biological markers on tissue sections with high spatial precision. This project aims to expand the number of usable detection channels by designing new bifunctional chelators able to st...

PhD Opportunity at CEA, France (Paris-Saclay region) This post advertises a PhD position in multiscale modeling , molecular dynamics , hydrodynamics , and agentic AI at CEA , in collaboration between Maison de la Simulation and CEA DAM . The research topic is “Multiscale Modeling of Interface Instabilities under Dynamic Loading: From Atoms to Continuum in the Era of Agentic AI.” The project focuses on Richtmyer–Meshkov and Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities in materials under extreme dynamic loading....

PhD position in episignatures and long-read sequencing at the University of Rouen Normandy in France, within Inserm UMR1245 / Cancer and Brain Genomics (CBG) and in partnership with Rouen University Hospital . The project focuses on using PacBio HiFi sequencing to build the next generation of episignatures. These DNA methylation “fingerprints” may help solve unsolved cases of neurodevelopmental disorders and improve genetic diagnosis in rare disease research. We are looking for a PhD candidate w...

PhD opportunity at the University of Caen Normandy, France in the ABTE laboratory, EcoTEA team, on foam-flow cleaning in milking systems . The project, called FOAMAT , focuses on improving cleaning performance while reducing water, energy, and detergent use. The research combines foam physical chemistry , fluid mechanics , process engineering , rheology , and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to understand how foam formulation, structure, and flow conditions affect the removal of dairy residues...
