Postdoc Opportunities in Literature in France

This postdoctoral project is part of WAXUP , a recycling chemistry project funded under the French PEPR Recyclage programme (France 2030). The work targets the valorisation of solid residues from multilayer packaging recycling, especially the polyAl fraction remaining after hydropulping of cartons such as Tetra Pak®. The scientific goal is to transform these residues by slow pyrolysis into high-value paraffinic waxes that can replace petro-sourced waxes in industrial formulations. The project ai...

The Institute of Research and Study on the Arab and Islamic Worlds (IREMAM) at Aix-Marseille Université is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the project “Violence and the Colonial Project: Embodied Violence in a (Post)Colonial World.” The project brings together scholars from multiple disciplines to investigate how colonial violence was experienced, embodied, remembered, and carried into postcolonial life. The postdoctoral fellow will join a research team focused on colonial violence in A...

IREMAM at Aix-Marseille Université is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the project “Violence and the Colonial Project: Embodied Violence in a (Post)Colonial World.” The postdoc will join an interdisciplinary research team working on the many forms of colonial violence and their afterlives, with a strong emphasis on how violence was experienced, embodied, and carried into the postcolonial present. The project brings together scholars from fields such as history, sociology, anthropology, a...

This 16-month postdoctoral project focuses on improving the circularity of polyolefin-containing plastic waste through reactive processing and the development of a new generation of grafting agents. The work is hosted at the C3M laboratory of the Ecole supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de la Ville de Paris in collaboration with the industrial high-throughput screening partner Xplore s.r.l. near Naples, Italy. The research combines organic synthesis, high-throughput experimentatio...

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...

The Fondation Mathématique Jacques Hadamard (FMJH) is offering four Hadamard Lecturer positions , presented as special postdoctoral funding opportunities for young mathematicians. These are long-term postdoctoral appointments lasting three years , designed for researchers who have shown excellence not only in mathematical development but also in the transmission of knowledge. The role combines research with a modest teaching commitment, described as a low teaching load equivalent to one third of...

This postdoctoral fellowship is part of Punch’s Pocket Book Archive , an international digital project devoted to creating a fully searchable archive of the complete run of Punch’s Pocket Book (1843–1881), the annual companion to Punch, or the London Charivari . The project works with surviving copies held across several major collections, including the British Library, Sambourne House Museum, a private collection, and the Robert D. Farber Archives and Special Collections Library at Brandeis Uni...

CNRS is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ERC-funded MOVING project, led by Prof. Véronique BENEÏ at the Laboratoire d'Anthropologie Politique (LAP), based at EHESS, Paris . The project studies the embodied traces and memories of African-originated slavery in diasporic contexts, with a focus on the Colombian Caribbean and the broader themes of anthropology , ethnology , ethnographic methods , arts-based research , and interdisciplinary social science. The successful candidate will con...

Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) is offering an 18-month full-time postdoctoral position in chemistry, based at the Institut de Chimie Moléculaire de Reims (ICMR, UMR CNRS 7312) in Reims, France. The project, EXTRAPEC, is part of the ANR PEPR B-BEST programme and focuses on the chemo-enzymatic extraction of polygalacturonan polysaccharides from sugar beet pulp using reactive extrusion. The scientific goal is to develop bio-based, biodegradable alternatives to polyacrylic acids used i...
