Postdoctoral position in geomicrobiology at Université Côte d’Azur / CEREEP ECOTRON Île-de-France This postdoctoral project explores a fundamental question about the early Earth: did life shape the surface of the planet, and how did microorganisms influence rock weathering under Archean-like conditions? The work is embedded in the Pandora project and builds on an experimental set-up already designed and constructed by a PhD student. The platform reproduces rock weathering in an anoxic environmen...

Research Engineer / Postdoctoral Researcher (M/F) is available for 12 months at the University of Rouen Normandy within INSERM U1311 DYNAMICURE , a multidisciplinary research unit spanning Rouen and Caen. The position is part of the MICROBIOPOL project, which investigates how chronic exposure to urban air pollution (PM2.5, PM10, NO2) influences the structure and functional profile of the respiratory microbiota in the Rouen metropolitan area. The successful candidate will be based on the Rouen ca...

Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier is offering a funded postdoctoral position within the EO4Irrig (Earth Observation for Irrigation) project under the ANR LabCom program. The work is based at CESBIO (Centre d’Études Spatiales de la Biosphère) in Toulouse, France, a major French research unit with long-standing expertise in remote sensing, hydrological and agronomic modelling, and water-cycle monitoring. The postdoctoral researcher will develop, test, and consolidate new methods for retrieving...
