The Laboratory of Solid State Physics (LPS) will host a CNRS Junior Professor Chair (CPJ) in 2026 as part of the “Extreme Physics and Instrumentation” (EPIC) programme.

This position is intended for an outstanding researcher wishing to develop an ambitious and original research programme aligned with the scientific priorities of LPS. The proposed project should address challenges in physics under extreme conditions through innovative methodological and instrumental developments.

LPS provides a world-class multidisciplinary research environment combining experimental expertise, advanced instrumentation, and strong national and international collaborations. Candidates are invited to propose a project that will benefit from and contribute to the laboratory’s scientific strengths and facilities.

The Junior Professor Chair is offered under a fixed-term public-law contract lasting between three and six years. The position includes dedicated research funding to establish an independent research programme as well as teaching activities within a higher education institution.

Following an evaluation of scientific achievements and professional aptitude by a tenure committee, the successful candidate may be granted tenure within the CNRS Research Director corps.

Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact LPS as soon as the call is published to discuss their research project and its integration within the laboratory.
