Postdoc Opportunities in Geology in France

This postdoctoral position is hosted at the PMMH, the Laboratory of Physics and Mechanics of Heterogeneous Media (UMR 7636 CNRS–ESPCI–PSL–Sorbonne Université–Université Paris Cité), in Paris. The project sits at the interface of fluid mechanics, soft matter physics and environmental microbiology, and focuses on how microplastics interact with microorganisms in flowing environments. The postdoctoral researcher will study the hetero-aggregation of microplastics with microorganisms , quantifying ho...

The ENS Rennes is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the European SmartCORE project (Interreg North-West Europe), a consortium of 15 partners from 5 countries working to support citizen energy communities and increase renewable energy integration. The successful researcher will join the SyEnsCES team at the IETR laboratory (UMR CNRS 6164), which focuses on sustainable energy systems and intelligent management of electrical grids. The position is embedded in a French demonstrator developed ...

The Institut des Sciences de la Terre in Grenoble is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ANR NaturaLDH project, focused on the composition of natural layered double hydroxides and their role in the alteration of mantle rocks. The postdoctoral work centers on developing an analytical protocol for natural layered double hydroxides using anion exchange and ion chromatography, then applying that protocol to natural samples to determine their composition and the conditions under which they f...

This position is based in the Department of Flexible Electronics (FEL) at the Centre Microélectronique de Provence, within Ecole nationale supérieure des mines de Saint-Etienne. The role sits at the intersection of research, innovation, and training, with a strong focus on flexible and stretchable electronics for autonomous systems. The successful candidate will work on the design of complete systems, from sensors through to communication modules, taking into account energy and environmental con...

This postdoctoral project is centered on the direct conversion of CO2 into liquid fuels through a Fischer-Tropsch-based route. The research addresses a major challenge for low-carbon transport: transforming captured carbon dioxide and hydrogen from renewable electricity into synthetic fuels that can fit existing infrastructure and fleets. The position is hosted at IMT Mines Albi-Carmaux and is part of a collaborative effort involving two laboratories, RAPSODEE in Albi and LCC in Toulouse . The w...

This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of the ANR ROCKMAPS project within the Trajectoires laboratory (UMR 8215). The research focuses on the rock art panels of Bedolina in Capo di Ponte, Lombardy, and their role as engraved cartographic representations carved into stone. The selected researcher will investigate the relationship between the engraved motifs on panels R1, R4, R7, and R9 and their surrounding anthropic and natural environment. The project combines archaeological interpretation ...

This postdoctoral position at Université Côte d'Azur is part of a project on how microbial ecosystems can alter rocks under conditions reminiscent of the early Earth. The work is centered on geomicrobiology, with a strong interface between microbial ecology, geochemistry, and astrobiology. The project builds on an existing experimental platform developed at the CEREEP ECOTRON Île-de-France , where rock-weathering reactors reproduce Archean-like conditions. These experiments compare sterile react...

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 hosted by ISTerre and carried out within the ERC Advanced Grant project Crack the Rock . The work focuses on understanding how environmental forcing affects the cracking and damage evolution of rocks, combining observations from natural rocky outcrops and controlled experimental analysis. The successful researcher will develop acoustic experiments in the field to study how environmental solicitations influence rocks and contribute to subcritical cracking under cyclic...
