PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Media Studies 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...

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 research aims to address key challenges in access control and delegation of access rights within the context of data spaces . The project asks the researcher to design an innovative digital identity wallet solution covering authentication , authorization , and rights delegation , with a strong emphasis on interoperabili...

The GREDEG research unit at Université Côte d’Azur , a joint research unit of UniCA and CNRS, is recruiting a research engineer or postdoctoral researcher to contribute to the Geopolitical Risks, Innovation and Firm Strategy (GRIFS) project. GRIFS is a collaborative research project funded through the ANR 2026 call and coordinated by Flora Bellone and Simone Vannuccini , with partner laboratories at the RITM, Université Paris-Saclay and the LEO, Université de Tours . The project brings together ...

This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of the ANR ROCKMAPS project within the Trajectoires laboratory (UMR 8215). The research focuses on the rock art panels of Bedolina in Capo di Ponte, Lombardy, and their role as engraved cartographic representations carved into stone. The selected researcher will investigate the relationship between the engraved motifs on panels R1, R4, R7, and R9 and their surrounding anthropic and natural environment. The project combines archaeological interpretation ...

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 at IMT Atlantique is embedded in a research project on network metrology enhanced by generative AI and machine learning for autonomous networks . The work is hosted in the Department of Computer Science on the Brest campus in Plouzané and is carried out in close collaboration with the ERMINE team at IRISA / INRIA , with planned exchanges between Brest and Rennes. The successful researcher will explore how new AI approaches can be applied to the measurement and diagnosi...
