This postdoctoral position in the StratifyAging project at Université de Bordeaux focuses on modelling clinical phenotypes of brain diseases from large-scale neuroimaging data. The recruited researcher will work on predictive approaches across several cohorts, including Trois-Cités , Memento and UK Biobank , and will also contribute to meta-analyses involving additional international cohorts. The project combines methodological development with applied biomedical analysis. A key part of the role...

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 fellowship places a doctoral-level fellow within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, specifically in the Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Office in Washington, DC. The role centers on the Energy-Water Resources program, which supports research, coordination, and strategic development around the interdependence of energy and water systems. The fellow will work on topics spanning regional energy-water technology pilots, alternative water sources such ...

This postdoctoral position is based at the LPMMC , a joint research unit in physics under the supervision of Université Grenoble Alpes and CNRS (UMR 5493), located on the CNRS site in Grenoble. The project focuses on the theoretical study of cold-atom quantum systems in low dimensions with long-range interactions , aimed at modelling experiments on cold-atom qubits . The research is carried out within the QubitAF project and centers on developing a theoretical description for interacting open qu...
