Junior Professor Chair (tenure track position ) – Physics in transition (F/M)
(published on June 23, 2025)
Université PSL is launching a call for applications for a Junior Professor Chair in Physics, climat transition climatique and innovation titled “Physics for transition” whose activity will take place at the ENS-PSL Physics department.
This is a tenure-track position with a reduced teaching load leading to a full professorship in the Physics Department at ENS (ENS-PSL, https://www.phys.ens.fr/).
The position can be taken up from December 2025, or at a mutually agreed date.
The position is open to all researchers wishing to develop their activity in physics or physical chemistry for the transition. The position includes an internationally competitive salary and start-up package.
For this CPJ, any theme is possible as long as the potential impact of the research project on the environment is clearly targeted and stated.

Chaire de Professeur Junior – Fluid Mechanics for environmental Transitions
(published on May 26, 2025)
Profile Required
Holders of a doctorate or a PhD or equivalent degree or applicants who have gained scientific qualifications or carried out scientific work deemed to be of an equivalent level.There is no restriction on the age or nationality of applicants. All CNRS positions are accessible to people with disabilities, with special arrangements for tests made necessary by the nature of the disability
Institution Strategy
Climate change, health and environment, and the energy transition represent three of the six societal challenges highlighted in the CNRS’s 2019-2023 Objectives and Performance Contract.
The theme of this junior professorship is part of this strategy, which aims to develop research and tools related to fluid mechanics associated with these challenges.
Host Lab Strategy
The four host laboratories (InPhyNi, LPENS, LPENSL, SPEC) have made the development of the theme of this junior professorship a strong focus of their scientific policy in the laboratory. All have active research groups in subjects having overlaps with this domain, with whom the successful candidate will be able to collaborate.
International Strategy
The interface between fluid mechanics and the physics of environmental transitions is a field that is developing in many international institutions, in particular in several universities with which the CNRS has strong links (IRL, IRC). At the CNRS Physics level, several International Research Projects include this theme in their programs.
