PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Philosophy 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 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 project is part of the CH₂EESE collaboration and focuses on the social-scientific study of an innovative process for valorising dairy effluents into green hydrogen and other high-value molecules. The recruited researcher will contribute to a milieux-oriented design approach, helping to shape the development of the technology by studying how it may fit within the agricultural, industrial, territorial and energy contexts in which it could be deployed. The work is rooted in scienc...

EcoDisco is an ANR project on biodiversity conservation choices over time and under uncertainty. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the interface of ecological economics, network analysis, and modelling to study how limited resources can be allocated between species protection and the acquisition of knowledge about ecosystems. The project connects functional diversity , describing the variety of ecological roles and traits of species, with phylogenetic diversity , which reflects their evol...

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 project focuses on robust optimisation for nonlinear structural dynamics , with a particular emphasis on how uncertainty affects bifurcation behaviour in mechanical systems. The work addresses a challenging class of problems where nonlinearities can create softening or stiffening resonance peaks, multiple dynamic solutions, and bifurcations that define stability limits in parameter space. The research is motivated by real engineering applications such as HALE/HAPS drones and ae...

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...

This postdoctoral position is part of the ANR-funded AGAIA project at the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon and its research department IHRIM . The project investigates how Ancient Greek texts and their French translations can be semantically aligned in order to study the reception of Greek literature in French writing, with particular attention to intertextual phenomena. The successful candidate will contribute directly to the construction of the project’s research corpora. The work centres on t...

WorkDem is a postdoctoral project on workplace democracy and its renewal in the face of major transitions. The position is based at Université de Bordeaux and focuses on how democracy at work can be rethought as climate, technological, and demographic changes reshape social dialogue and the organisation of labour. The project examines the relationship between workplace democracy and political democracy, using developments in the philosophy of work and the philosophy of democracy as its conceptua...
