Aix-Marseille University’s Mesopolhis Lab is recruiting a postdoc for the project “Mediterranean Dreaming: Tourism Massification and Migration in Maritime Cities.” The project investigates how tourism massification and migration are reshaping Mediterranean cities, how municipalities regulate these dynamics through urban policies and planning, and how residents experience the social and economic consequences. It also examines the imaginaries of the Mediterranean city emerging from official polici...

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...
