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

The doctoral project is part of the interdisciplinary AcrioFarm research on overdoses, within the CNRS PRIME team directed by Marie Jauffret-Roustide . It focuses on the experience of opioids among users, with particular attention to access to care and harm reduction in a context marked by the spread of synthetic opioids and rising overdose rates. The thesis will examine users’ preferences for natural and synthetic opioids, their experiences of treatment and harm reduction services, and the prev...

This PhD project is about improving reverse engineering for side-channel analysis on embedded systems. The thesis targets situations where security assessment of a device must begin with a preparatory detection phase, for example to identify cryptographic primitives in traces for future observation attacks or to locate target routines for fault-based attacks. The goal is to design non-profiled methods and tools that can automate this detection stage while also leveraging an attacker’s prior know...

This postdoctoral position is based at Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès within the LEREPS research environment and is attached to a collaborative project on the determinants of leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean basin. The researcher will help build the project’s scientific and methodological framework for understanding how the disease evolves through a combination of environmental, socio-economic, territorial, institutional, and behavioral factors. The role places strong emphasis on social sc...

This postdoctoral position is part of the ExploRA research project, led by the LIFAT in Tours with LaMé as a partner, and supported by the Centre-Val de Loire region . The project aims to develop an interactive interface for viewing 3D augmented heritage data . The recruited researcher will work on the digital processing of the Château de Chambord as a heritage case study. The mission includes completing the 3D point-cloud reconstruction from drone photographs acquired during the 2019 campaign, ...

This postdoctoral position is centered on the processing and structuring of real-time MRI data of the vocal tract collected within the ANR ArtAny project. The successful candidate will work with a sizeable and growing multilingual dataset, contributing to the technical pipeline that turns raw acquisition outputs into a usable research resource. The core scientific tasks include automatic segmentation and tracking of speech articulators in real-time MRI images, improving the tracking approach, an...

This postdoctoral position is part of the ANR GestToSay project (2025–29), which aims to advance the automatic analysis of French Sign Language (LSF) by supporting corpus creation, recognition, and translation, as well as developing tools for the LSF community. The researcher will join the Langue Interaction Parole et Signes (LIPS) team within the Sciences et Technologies des Langues (STL) department at the LISN . The position focuses on designing, developing, experimenting with, and evaluating ...

This postdoctoral position is based at CNRS within the CerCo, an interdisciplinary research center working at the forefront of cognitive neuroscience in Toulouse, France. The project focuses on auditory neuroscience and aims to use temporal response functions (TRF) to model EEG responses to speech . A key goal is to build an objective indicator of recovery in speech perception after cochlear implantation . The work also explores neurofeedback as a way to support and enhance that recovery. The po...

INRAE Doctoral Contracts are salaried PhD positions hosted by France’s national research institute for agriculture, food and the environment. The institute has around 272 research units across France, giving doctoral researchers access to a wide national research network. These contracts support doctoral research linked to INRAE’s scientific areas, especially agriculture, food, ecology and the environment. The position is structured as a work contract rather than a stipend, so doctoral researche...

This postdoctoral position at Université de Bordeaux is part of a research programme focused on Devenir(s) Durable(s) and its work on scientific mediation and openness to territorial actors. The project examines how knowledge circulates between the academic world and non-academic audiences, with particular attention to dialogue around sustainability. The successful researcher will study the relationships between researchers, public decision-makers, and civil society , as well as the spaces where...
