The Graduate School of Physics at Université Paris-Saclay (France) is launching a new postdoctoral fellowship programme: UPSaclay-STAR-phi, supported by the EU Marie Curie COFUND programme.

The programme will recruit up to 41 international postdoctoral researchers over two calls, for 24-month research projects in one of the 40 laboratories of the Graduate School, at the SOLEIL synchrotron, or at the French National Metrology Lab (LNE). This includes 4 astrophysics laboratories: the Department of Astrophysics (DAp) of CEA Paris-Saclay, the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS), the Laboratoire Atmosphères et Observations Spatiales (LATMOS) and the Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas (LPP).

• First call opens: May 1st, 2025.
• Application deadline: July 31st, 2025.
• Expected start of fellowships: early 2026 (flexible).

Applicants will propose their own research project aligned with the School’s wide-ranging fields, from fundamental to applied physics.

Notice that the postdoctoral candidate must not have been based in France for more than 12 months, during the past 3 years.
