Project Overview
About the Position
The Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions (UMR 7598), run jointly by CNRS and Sorbonne Universite in Paris, advertises a six-month postdoctoral position in microlocal analysis (post-doctorat en analyse microlocale). The project concerns the mathematical analysis of wave propagation, partial differential equations and related questions in microlocal analysis, within the DANIVA project framework. The postdoc will join one of Europe's leading applied mathematics laboratories, whose research spans analysis, numerical analysis, modelling and probability.
The position is a fixed-term CDD of six months, remunerated at approximately EUR 4,000 gross per month under French public research salary rules. The postdoctoral researcher will work with laboratory members on the project's mathematical questions, participate in the laboratory's seminars and working groups, and benefit from the Paris analysis community's dense network of seminars and collaboration opportunities. Applications are made through the CNRS employment portal (emploi.cnrs.fr) with the reference UMR7598-DANIVA-004.
Candidate Profile and Application
Applicants hold a PhD in mathematics, with a specialisation in analysis, partial differential equations or a closely related area, obtained within the timeframe CNRS applies to postdoctoral contracts. A strong research record in wave propagation, microlocal analysis or related PDE topics is expected, together with the ability to work in a French- and English-speaking research environment. The application file on the CNRS portal includes a CV, research statement, publications list and references; the deadline is 10 November 2026 at 23:59 Paris time.
