Postdoc Opportunities in Astronomy

The Laboratoire d’Annecy de Physique des Particules (LAPP) at CNRS is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join its CTAO group working on very-high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics. The project focuses on the study of pulsars and millisecond pulsars with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory, using the Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) during construction, commissioning, and the early phase of scientific operations. The successful candidate will play a leading role in exploiting stereoscopic LST...

This postdoctoral position at the CNRS focuses on experimental neuromorphic spintronics for non-conventional computing. The project is centered on the manipulation of magnetic solitons such as skyrmions and spin waves to build nanomagnetic hardware for fast, low-energy information processing. The selected researcher will work at the intersection of materials science , magnetization dynamics , and machine learning . The work includes designing new material systems capable of stabilizing and excit...

At the GeM laboratory at Ecole Centrale de Nantes , this postdoctoral position explores the experimental analysis of hydro-chemo-mechanical phenomena geological CO₂ storage . The project is centered on understanding how acidified CO₂-brine solutions interact with the caprock of storage sites and how these reactions may modify rock properties and long-term sealing capacity. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the experimental reproduction of CO₂ migration scenarios through rock, including si...

This post-doctoral project focuses on geomatics and hydromorphology , with an emphasis on improving methods to determine the bankfull level from LiDAR data collected from different sources, including IGN LiDAR HD and drone-acquired data . The researcher will also develop tools for QGIS and continue work on estimating bankfull width along river reaches, with results interpreted in relation to local anthropogenic constraints. The work builds on methods already developed within the Carhyce programm...

This postdoctoral project is based at the Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques (CRPG, UMR 7358) in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, within a geoscience research environment linked to the CNRS and the Université de Lorraine. The recruited researcher will join ongoing work in mineralogy and crystallography, with strong interactions across the laboratory and with the crystallography research group (CRM2). The project focuses on the characterization of demantoid garnet samples, including materia...

This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on the self-assembly and dynamics of nanoparticles in liquid crystal blue phase matrices . The research aims to understand how inserting nanoparticles can stabilize blue phases, extend their temperature range, and modify their structure and properties. The project is centered on soft-matter physico-chemistry, with particular attention to blue-phase liquid crystals that are attractive for light-based applications such as display technologies because they ...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Laboratoire d'Optique Atmosphérique (LOA) of the University of Lille, within the “Nuages et Rayonnement” team, and is linked to CNRS-associated research activity on atmospheric optics. The project focuses on the optical properties of atmospheric microplastics , a recently identified and still poorly characterized component of atmospheric aerosols. The successful candidate will work on the characterization of these particles through experimental measurem...

This postdoctoral project, hosted by CNRS, is part of the Horizon Europe SAFE-SEA initiative. The research aims to generate scientific knowledge and indicators that help identify response thresholds in marine organisms exposed to ocean acidification in combination with warming, deoxygenation and other environmental stressors. The successful candidate will design and carry out original experiments to characterise how a range of marine organisms respond to single and multiple stressors. The work c...

This postdoctoral project is based at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP) in Toulouse, France, within the PS2E stellar physics / exoplanet group . The work is carried out in the framework of the SPIRou scientific consortium, coordinated locally by Drs JF Donati and C Moutou . The research focuses on stellar and planetary formation , with an emphasis on low-mass pre-main-sequence T Tauri stars . The project uses observations obtained with the near-infrared spectropol...
