ENS-PSL / Université PSL in Paris is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for the Re-contract Research Program (Axis 1) , focused on trust, social contract renewal, and intergenerational social protection. The project examines how citizens view social protection politically and normatively: what should be protected, who should organize it (state, non-profit sector, or insurance sector), how resources should be pooled and redistributed, and how trust in institutions and shared political projects ...

Aix-Marseille University’s Mesopolhis Lab is recruiting a postdoc for the project “Mediterranean Dreaming: Tourism Massification and Migration in Maritime Cities.” The project investigates how tourism massification and migration are reshaping Mediterranean cities, how municipalities regulate these dynamics through urban policies and planning, and how residents experience the social and economic consequences. It also examines the imaginaries of the Mediterranean city emerging from official polici...

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...
