Description du poste

The person recruited for the CPJ will strengthen the links between innovative interdisciplinary research that has made the Clermont-Ferrand site an international benchmark for cloud chemistry, physics, ecology, and biogeochemistry. The CPJ will benefit from research in atmospheric sciences, microbial ecology, and environmental chemistry, conducted in the field (Puy de Dôme and other stations), in the laboratory (simulation chamber), and in silico. It will reinforce research on the water cycle as part of the Environmental Research Federation (FR 3467), co-sponsored by CNRS and UCA. The NUAGES CPJ aligns with national perspectives and frameworks of Research Infrastructures (IR) co-sponsored by CNRS, such as IR ACTRIS.

CNRS is committed to maintaining French excellence in environmental science research, developing data acquisition capabilities, and advancing knowledge of key tropospheric processes in a changing climate.

The Clermont-Ferrand site is evolving its Federation of Environmental Research towards interdisciplinary activities focused on Water, Environment, and Territories. This evolution is reflected by an inter-institute CPJ involving laboratories from three CNRS institutes (INEE, INSU, and INC). The target units are LMGE, LaMP, and ICCF, each specializing in genomics, atmospheric measurements, and chemical pollutant fate, respectively.

The primary goals of the CPJ are to coordinate research in at least two of the following areas:

1. Quantify the functional aspects of the atmospheric microbiome and its interactions with chemical reactivity, considering atmospheric transport's role in microbial biodiversity.
2. Integrate clouds into their environmental and societal context by studying surface-atmosphere exchanges of chemical and biological materials, including pathogens, along the water cycle.
3. Develop instruments for in situ, laboratory, or in silico experiments to quantify cloud dynamics and biogeochemical functions.
4. Study molecular transfers and interactions in multiphase cloud environments involving photochemical and biogeochemical transformations and their implications for cloud fate.

Teaching responsibilities will be discussed with the University of Clermont Auvergne and may include existing courses or observation missions, depending on the recruit's profile. The CNRS emphasizes open science, aiming for open access to publications and data, and encourages dissemination through publications, patents, software, and outreach activities such as conferences and educational initiatives.

The project will also foster science-society interactions, informing public decision-making and initiating participatory science with socio-economic actors. Candidates must hold a doctorate or equivalent; there are no restrictions on age or nationality. All CNRS positions are accessible to people with disabilities, with accommodations as needed.
