Postdoc Opportunities in Mechanical Engineering in France

A two-year postdoctoral position is available at the Interdisciplinary Research Institute of Grenoble (IRIG), CEA Grenoble, France, working on the theory and modeling of silicon/germanium electron and hole spin qubits. The project focuses on developing and applying analytical and numerical approaches to understand and support Si/SiGe and Ge/SiGe spin-qubit devices. The successful candidate will work with the TB_Sim platform, which combines atomistic tight-binding and multi-band k·p methods to mo...

Aix-Marseille Université is offering a 1-year postdoctoral research contract within the Institute of Movement Sciences (ISM UMR7287) in Marseille, France, at the intersection of movement sciences, anthropology, neurophysiology, and rehabilitation . The project is part of the PEPR REINVENT programme and focuses on how phantom limb phenomena such as voluntary phantom movements and induced sensations can be integrated into prosthetic control to make prosthesis use more intuitive and reduce cognitiv...

Postdoctoral position in chemistry available for 24 months at the University of Brest, within the COSM team at CEMCA (UMR CNRS 6521), Brest, France. The project focuses on functional macrocyclic chelators for imaging mass cytometry (IMC). IMC combines antibody-based detection with metal isotope labels to map many biological markers on tissue sections with high spatial precision. This project aims to expand the number of usable detection channels by designing new bifunctional chelators able to st...

This 12-month full-time postdoctoral appointment is part of the IdEx 2026 Research Support Fund . The project, “Ageism and Virtual Reality: Study of Intergenerational Dynamics,” explores ageism, intergroup relations, and spontaneous avoidance behavior in a controlled virtual environment. The research focuses on h...

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 interests include biomedical engineering , computational mechanics , scientific computing , applied mathematics , and high-performance computing for simulation-driven medical device design. Applicants sho...

Postdoctoral position in quantum microwave-to-optics conversion at Institut Néel – CNRS within the superconducting quantum circuits group. The project aims to develop a microwave-to-optical quantum interface for transferring quantum information between microwave and optical domains, enabling long-distance quantum communication and optically mediated entanglement between distant microwave qubits. The work sits at the intersection of physics , optomechanics , electromechanics , nanophotonics , sup...

A 12-month full-time postdoctoral position is available in the Natural Killer Cells and Anti-Tumour Immunity team at the Centre d’Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CIML) in Marseille, France. The project is a translational study of Natural Killer (NK) cells and type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1) in breast cancer, with a special focus on triple-negative breast cancer. The successful candidate will help characterize phenotypic, functional, and transcriptional changes in these innate lymphocyte pop...
