Work Context

The Montpellier Laboratory of Universes and Particles (LUPM) is a joint research unit whose research topics cover the fields of stellar astrophysics, astroparticles, particle physics and cosmology. The LUPM is supervised by the CNRS IN2P3 and the University of Montpellier. The LUPM brings together around 72 researchers, teacher-researchers, engineers, technicians and administrative staff divided into three research teams and four support services.
The research fellow (M/F) will work within the LUPM.
The research fellow (M/F) recruited will be eligible for training and support when taking up their duties.

Constraints and risks

Regular assignments in France and abroad are also planned in order to participate in various meetings, workshops and conferences related to the aforementioned activities.
