About the research centre or Inria department

 The Inria centre at Université Côte d'Azur includes 42 research teams and 9 support services. The centre's staff (about 500 people) is made up of scientists of different nationalities, engineers, technicians and administrative staff. The teams are mainly located on the university campuses of Sophia Antipolis and Nice as well as Montpellier, in close collaboration with research and higher education laboratories and establishments (Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, INRAE, INSERM ...), but also with the regiona economic players.

With a presence in the fields of computational neuroscience and biology, data science and modeling, software engineering and certification, as well as collaborative robotics, the Inria Centre at Université Côte d'Azur  is a major player in terms of scientific excellence through its results and collaborations at both European and international levels.

Context

Every year Inria International Relations Department has a few postdoctoral positions in order to support Inria
international collaborations.


The postdoctoral contract will have a duration of 12 to 24 months. The default start date is November 1st, 2025
and not later than January, 1st 2026. 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 (please note
that the postdoctoral fellow has to start his/her contract being in France and that the visits have to respect Inria
rules for missions).

Assignment

Candidates for postdoctoral positions are recruited after the end of their Ph.D. or after a first post-doctoral
period: for the candidates who obtained their PhD in the Northern hemisphere, the date of the Ph.D. defense
shall be later than September 1, 2022; in the Southern hemisphere, later than April 1, 2022.
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
