Permanent members

The CERDI is a research department supervised by the Université Clermont Auvergne, the CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research) and the IRD (the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development).

You can join our team by applying for a lecturer position at the Université Clermont Auvergne (recruitment campaign from February to June) or for researcher competitions at CNRS and IRD.

These institutions may also offer Junior Professorships (CPJ).

Postdoctoral positions

Three types of postdoctoral fellowships are typically offered:

• Postdoctoral grants funded by the LabEX IDGM. 
• Two-years positions supported by  CIR-4 of the CAP 20-25 project .
• Several two-years postdoc fellowships are open by the IRD annually.

Interested candidates are invited to contact the Head of the Department to discuss their application and their research project before applying. 

Fully-funded PhD positions

Each year in April, the CERDI announces a call for applications for several three-years Ph.D. positions. 

You can find information on how to enroll in a Ph.D. in France on the website of Campus France, The French Agency for the promotion of higher education.
