Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M From the ocean to the stars: SciML to accelerate scientific research

Fonction : Post-Doctorant

Contract Details

The postdoctoral contract will have a duration of 12 to 24 months . The default start date is November 1st, 2026 and not later than January 1st 2027 . The postdoctoral fellow will be recruited by one of the Inria Centres in France but it is recommended that the time is shared between France and the partner’s country. The fellow must start in France and visits must respect Inria rules for missions.

Eligibility

Candidates for postdoctoral positions are recruited after the completion of their Ph.D. or a first postdoctoral period. To be eligible, candidates must have defended their Ph.D. no more than 3 years before the start date of the contract. As the start date will be between November 1, 2026 and January 1, 2027, the latest eligible Ph.D. defense date will be approximately between November 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024.

In order to encourage mobility, the postdoctoral position must take place in a scientific environment that is truly different from the one of the Ph.D. and, if applicable, from the position held since the Ph.D. Particular attention is thus paid to French or international candidates who obtained their doctorate abroad.

Deadline

The deadline for applying to this job is before June 7, 2026.
