Postdoc Opportunities in Earth Science

This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of the ECO-EVO BIODIV project, which develops an integrative eco-evolutionary approach to understanding biodiversity and its dynamics. The project brings together concepts and methods spanning biodiversity levels, biological groups, intra- and interspecific variation, and the spatial and temporal processes that shape them. The advertised research focuses on building and analysing theoretical models of simple trophic modules, such as a predator, two prey...

This position is part of the Grand Programme de Recherche Post-Petroleum Materials (PPM) at the Université de Bordeaux , bringing together expertise from ISM in molecular chemistry and dye-sensitized solar cells with ICMCB in the synthesis and characterization of inorganic semiconductor films and photoelectrochemical cells. The project focuses on dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DSPECs) as a route toward green hydrogen production by water reduction under solar illumination. The success...

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 position is based at the Centre Science des Matériaux et des Structures (SMS) , within the Laboratoire Georges Friedel , a joint research unit with the CNRS at the Ecole nationale supérieure des mines de Saint-Etienne . The researcher will join a materials science environment focused on the relationships between processing, microstructure, and properties, with access to advanced preparation and characterization tools and a multi-scale materials-by-design approach. The project, ...

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 fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) in Corvallis, Oregon, within the Horticultural Crop Production and Genetic Improvement Research Unit. The project centers on image-based soil health analysis, combining advanced sensing and imaging technologies to study how soil health management practices influence soil health metrics, crop yield, and crop quality. The fellow will work with a range of imaging systems, includin...

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...
