Offer Description

• About the employer

As a French international scientific research institute, the IRD helps strengthen the resilience of societies in the face of global changes. It operates in more than 50 countries across Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific, as well as in mainland France and its overseas territories.

Its research activities provide concrete solutions to priority needs: climate change mitigation and adaptation, fighting poverty and inequality, preserving biodiversity, access to healthcare, and integrating social dynamics. Research questions are developed alongside field stakeholders and local populations. Teams combine perspectives, disciplines, and knowledge through long-term partnerships to build robust, high-impact solutions.

The IRD advocates for research that benefits the greatest number of people. It shares the results of its projects and puts science at the service of action. In doing so, it supports the transformation of societies toward more equitable and sustainable social, economic, and ecological models.

• The research unit you will join

You will join the UMR CEFE (Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive) in Montpellier. For more than 60 years, the CEFE has been exploring the interactions between ecosystems, climate, and societies. The CEFE is located on the CNRS Campus. With more than 120 permanent staff members, the CEFE is a major research laboratory in ecology, committed to fulfilling its public service research mission through an eco-responsible approach.

• A rewarding research opportunity

Under the supervision of a Research Director, your mission will be to analyze information on the occurrence of agricultural and natural vegetation fires across the French territory.

Within this framework, your activities will include:

• Developing a tool to characterize spatial morphology metrics of forest fires (based on fire perimeter shapefiles from a geographic information system).
• Developing an interactive R Shiny interface to present fire history according to their morphological characteristics in an n-dimensional space, featuring a user interface to select geographic areas, time periods, and data types.
• Formatting, uploading to the Shiny interface, and analyzing the regime of agricultural and pastoral fires using data provided by the host laboratory.

Writing metadata, formatting, and disseminating data (publications, communications, open-access repositories), along with a final activity report.
All code will be developed in R and hosted on GitHub.

• Your future team

You will join the CEFE's FORECAST team , which is composed of 6 researchers in the functional ecology of forest systems and 2 engineers/technicians (IT). On average, the team also hosts 3 PhD students, 4 Master's students, and 2 temporary engineers/technicians (IT CDD) per year.

• The profile we are looking for

You have developed the following skills:

• In-depth knowledge of R programming and R Shiny for web interfaces.
• Knowledge of statistics, spatio-temporal data analysis, and geostatistics (using the R package 'terra').
• Strong writing and communication skills, as well as teaching abilities, in both English and French at a B2-C1 proficiency level.

You demonstrate the following personal qualities:

• Ability to interact with scientists, students, and local stakeholders.
• Interest in the topic of forest fires and the ability to communicate with the media.

Throughout your career, IRD supports your professional development and helps you build new skills.

The institute offers a range of resources, including a digital onboarding programme, continuing professional development, and opportunities for career progression and mobility.

Depending on operational requirements, IRD offers the possibility of working remotely one to three days per week.

By joining IRD, you will benefit from:

• 32 days of annual leave plus 13 RTT days (for full-time employees).
• Access to a staff restaurant or meal vouchers, depending on the location.
• Optional annual membership of AOS, offering holiday, leisure, sports and cultural benefits.
• Supplementary MGEN health and income-protection coverage.

Our recruitment is based on skills, without discrimination on the grounds of origin, age or gender. All our positions are open to applicants with disabilities.
