Job Description
Missions
The recruited researcher will be responsible for preparing the Zones Ateliers Network (RZA) for its involvement in the PEPR Transform program. The mission aims to support the RZA in the future implementation of the program, structure the initial axes of transformative research, and strengthen the links between the RZA and the strategic objectives of the upcoming PEPR TRANSFORM, within a North-South comparative perspective.
Activity
• Contribute to the inventory of transformative practices within the Network
• Structure research axes around Transformative Sciences (TS)
• Clarify key concepts associated with TS to facilitate their understanding and adoption
• Link the conceptualization of TS with the empirical needs of the RZA
• Identify and highlight existing transformative dynamics within the network
• Analyze differences in practices and challenges from a North-South comparative approach
• Support the appropriation of TS by the Zones Ateliers (ZA)
• Assist in building the capacities of ZA actors in Transformative Sciences
• Strengthen the positioning of the ZA within the future PEPR through these dynamics
• Document the issues, tensions, visions, and stakeholder interactions related to TRANSFORM
• Produce reflexive material useful to the teams involved in the PEPR
• Support the organization of scientific and strategic events
• Promote ongoing work to the scientific and operational communities of the Zones Ateliers Network
Your Profil
Skills
• PhD or equivalent in sociology of science and the environment, and anthropology of knowledge
• Good understanding of socio-ecological transition and transformation challenges
• Experience in coordinating interdisciplinary or multi-stakeholder projects
• Proficiency in qualitative research methods (interviews, discourse analysis, etc.)
• Excellent writing, analytical, and synthesis skills
• Strong interpersonal skills, autonomy, ability to work in pairs and within a network
• Sensitivity to the institutional and political dimensions of research
Your Work Environment
The recruited researcher will be hosted at the UMR PALOC (IRD – MNHN – CNRS), a multidisciplinary research unit based in Paris, specialized in studying interactions between human societies, environments, and heritage from a comparative and interregional perspective. The UMR develops approaches grounded in social sciences and ecology, with particular attention to territorial dynamics, local knowledge, and transformation issues.
This position is part of the RZA's future involvement in the exploratory PEPR funded by France 2030, which aims to structure inter- and transdisciplinary research on socio-ecological transformations with a North-South perspective.
The recruited researcher will contribute to the operational and scientific implementation of TRANSFORM, in connection with the RZA teams, by leveraging the skills and networks of UMR PALOC. The position requires work that connects the conceptualization of Transformative Sciences, field investigations, scientific coordination, and network facilitation, with a strong reflexive and strategic dimension.
