Postdoc Opportunities in Linguistics in France

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 position is part of the ExploRA research project, led by the LIFAT in Tours with LaMé as a partner, and supported by the Centre-Val de Loire region . The project aims to develop an interactive interface for viewing 3D augmented heritage data . The recruited researcher will work on the digital processing of the Château de Chambord as a heritage case study. The mission includes completing the 3D point-cloud reconstruction from drone photographs acquired during the 2019 campaign, ...

This postdoctoral position is centered on the processing and structuring of real-time MRI data of the vocal tract collected within the ANR ArtAny project. The successful candidate will work with a sizeable and growing multilingual dataset, contributing to the technical pipeline that turns raw acquisition outputs into a usable research resource. The core scientific tasks include automatic segmentation and tracking of speech articulators in real-time MRI images, improving the tracking approach, an...

This postdoctoral position is part of the ANR GestToSay project (2025–29), which aims to advance the automatic analysis of French Sign Language (LSF) by supporting corpus creation, recognition, and translation, as well as developing tools for the LSF community. The researcher will join the Langue Interaction Parole et Signes (LIPS) team within the Sciences et Technologies des Langues (STL) department at the LISN . The position focuses on designing, developing, experimenting with, and evaluating ...

This postdoctoral position is based at CNRS within the CerCo, an interdisciplinary research center working at the forefront of cognitive neuroscience in Toulouse, France. The project focuses on auditory neuroscience and aims to use temporal response functions (TRF) to model EEG responses to speech . A key goal is to build an objective indicator of recovery in speech perception after cochlear implantation . The work also explores neurofeedback as a way to support and enhance that recovery. The po...

This postdoctoral position at Université de Bordeaux is part of a research programme focused on Devenir(s) Durable(s) and its work on scientific mediation and openness to territorial actors. The project examines how knowledge circulates between the academic world and non-academic audiences, with particular attention to dialogue around sustainability. The successful researcher will study the relationships between researchers, public decision-makers, and civil society , as well as the spaces where...

This postdoctoral position is part of the ANR-funded AGAIA project at the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon and its research department IHRIM . The project investigates how Ancient Greek texts and their French translations can be semantically aligned in order to study the reception of Greek literature in French writing, with particular attention to intertextual phenomena. The successful candidate will contribute directly to the construction of the project’s research corpora. The work centres on t...

This postdoctoral project focuses on the control of bacterial gene expression and the regulatory networks that shape how bacteria adapt to their environment. The work centers on Escherichia coli , with particular attention to both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. The project will investigate regulatory mechanisms mediated by two-component systems and small regulatory RNAs . The recruited researcher will contribute to detailed analyses of selected model genes as well as broade...

This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on how C. elegans adapts to acute, non-lethal thermal stress and why individuals within the same population respond differently. The team has established a stress model that produces two worm subpopulations with distinct outcomes for growth, fertility, and lifespan, and the project aims to uncover the genetic regulatory network and molecular mechanisms underlying this variability. The work combines experimental biology and bioinformatics. The postdoctora...
