Thematic post-docs

Thematic post-docs

These two-year post-doctoral fellowships are aimed at young mathematicians interested in the interface mathematics highlighted in the FMJH's thematic programs. Successful candidates may be asked to give 20 hours a year of tutoring to bachelor's or master's students. Unless special arrangements have been made, the commitment begins on October 1 of the year of recruitment. To be eligible, candidates must have defended their thesis before October 1 of the year of recruitment.

Applications must be submitted online when the annual call for applications is issued. There are two ways to apply, depending on whether the research program is free or part of a closed list of subjects proposed by researchers within the FMJH perimeter.

 

Application with a free research program

In the online application form, please indicate which thematic program your application falls under. The list of these programs is given in the annual call for applications.

In addition to this indication of theme, the application file must include:

• a curriculum vitae,

• a research project,

• a wish to be assigned to one of the research units affiliated to the FMJH,

• the name of a scientific contact in the chosen laboratory,

• a letter of motivation setting out the applicant's wishes and research program.

 

Application on a predefined topic

The FMJH alternately allows applications on research topics proposed by researchers within the perimeter. These subjects all fall within one of the FMJH's thematic programs. They are listed in a table that is updated each year.

The application must include, in addition to the subject to which the application relates:

• a curriculum vitae,

• a letter of motivation setting out the applicant's scientific background and chosen research topic.

 

Examination of applications

Each thematic program has a jury which examines all the applications relating to the theme in question. The four rankings thus prepared by each of the thematic program juries are then discussed and validated by the FMJH steering committee.

NB : To easily identify the themes present in the various research units within the FMJH perimeter, it may be useful to consult the Interactive map on the Paris-Saclay campus.

Please Note: Guidelines for Applicants to the 2027 Postdoctoral Fellowship Calls for Applications

The emergence of generative AI as a key player in research is raising questions within the scientific community in general, and the mathematical community in particular.

The FMJH wishes to assure all applicants to its calls for applications for postdoctoral fellowships that the relevant selection panels will review all applications fairly, regardless of whether the publications cited in them were produced using AI. It also encourages applicants to specify in their applications how they use AI, if they do so.

The selection panels will pay particular attention to the applicants' understanding of their own field and their ability to explain their results.
