Country: France

Application Deadline: 14 Jul 2025 - 23:59 (UTC)

Offer Description

This CNRS tenure-track position aims to strengthen the research capabilities of French teams involved in the study of palaeoenvironments globally, including regions such as Western and Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa.

The goal is to enhance the “paleo” communities’ ability to contribute to understanding Earth's habitability, current environmental challenges, and future predictions, in line with the CNRS INSU 2024 white paper.

The host laboratories seek to bolster their expertise in Quaternary geology and geoarchaeology, utilizing recent advances in surface formation investigation methods, dating techniques, non-destructive characterization, and conceptual frameworks. The focus is on renewing the understanding of Pleistocene and Holocene environments through research on site-scale dynamics and environmental impacts on human settlements during the Quaternary periods.

The research areas include:

1. Chronostratigraphy and environment reconstruction from sedimentary archives
2. Natural processes in site formation and landscape structuring
3. Environmental factors influencing settlement dynamics during rapid climatic changes
4. Palaeoenvironmental change's role in early Palaeolithic cultures and Holocene settlement patterns

The candidate should have a solid background in geology/geoarchaeology, expertise in sedimentology, geochemistry, geochronology, or bioindicators, and proficiency in high-resolution analysis techniques.

The candidate will participate in existing teaching programs related to the research theme at the university site.

CNRS emphasizes open science, encouraging accessibility of research outputs and data, aligned with the DORA principles, aiming for high-quality dissemination through publications, patents, software, and public engagement activities.

The project aims to contribute to societal decision-making and may involve participatory science initiatives with socio-economic and cultural partners.

Applicants must hold a doctorate or equivalent; there are no restrictions on age or nationality. CNRS positions are accessible to people with disabilities, with accommodations as needed.
