Permanent Positions

Permanent positions are available primarily through an annual nationwide competitive search process taking place from January to March:

Post-docs et teaching assistants (ATERs)

LIG research teams may have various types of funding for post-doc positions: institutional funding (CNRS, Grenoble INP, Inria, UGA) or research and industrial grants. A typical duration of a post-doc is between 6 months and 2 years. Open post-doc positions are usually advertised on the websites of research teams or on mailing lists. Calls for applications for post-docs funded by research institutions are posted on their websites at the time of the annual campaign between February and May: CNRS, Inria.

The laboratory can also host teaching assistants (ATER - Attachés Temporaires d'Enseignement et de Recherche). Applicants must fulfill one of the conditions of the Decree 88-654 of 7 May 1988 and register on the Ministry portal Galaxie: ALTAIR.
