Post-doctoral studies : Recruitment

Recruitment of post-doctoral researchers is supported by the collective scientific environement of the cross-cutting group and also complies with strict criteria. LABEX recruits people who have completed their thesis outside of COMUE Université Paris-Est in order to developped cross-disciplinary trajectories that enable young researchers to expand upon their scientific culture.

Local applications are supported when they correspondant to contractual research (on top of LABEX's basic budget) for which local knowledge is a plus.

Post-doctoral researchers are hired on one-year contracts that may be renewed once.
