The National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) is one of the world's leading research institutions. To address major current and future challenges, its scientists explore life, matter, the universe, and the functioning of human societies. Internationally recognized for the excellence of its scientific work, the CNRS is a benchmark both in the world of research and development and among the general public.
The successful candidate will join the Institute of Environmental Geosciences as part of the “cryodyn” team. The project team consists of four researchers and one doctoral student. The PAPROG program, funded by the Ministry of Ecological Transition, brings together several laboratories (EDYTEM, ISTerre, IGE, INRAE) and government agencies such as the RTM.
