Stratégie d'établissement

The proposed chair is closely linked to theme 2.2.4: understanding the fundamental laws of the universe of the CNRS 2019-2023 Objectives and Performance Contract, which stipulates:
“The theory of fundamental interactions, with in particular the theoretical aspects of the standard model and its extensions, the reconciliation between gravitation and quantum physics, cosmology and theoretical astroparticles with the challenge of explaining the origin of acceleration of the expansion of the Universe and the rotation curves of galaxies are the essential objectives of the field. »

The theme of the chair corresponds to a rapidly developing field in France, both from an observational and theoretical point of view. The new gravitational wave experiments open a new window on the early universe and cosmological models, and could help resolve several unresolved questions such as dark matter or dark energy, and better understand the physics beyond the standard model. Several CNRS institutes (IN2P3, INP, INSU) have recently created a cosmology GDR to support and structure this development.

Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil

The 5 host laboratories (CPT, IAP, IPHT, LAPTH, LPTHE) have made the development of this theme in their laboratory a strong focus of their scientific policy. All have active researchers in subjects having overlaps with theoretical cosmology, with whom the successful candidate will be able to collaborate

Stratégie Internationale

Cosmology and more particularly its theoretical aspects are at the heart of several very important international collaborations developed by the CNRS, in particular for observation instruments (VIRGO, EUCLID, etc.). At the level of the Institute of Physics, several international research projects include these themes in their program.

Résumé du projet scientifique

With the deployment in progress or soon to be of large instruments making it possible to obtain precise data on the universe at very large scales and gravitational waves, theoretical research in cosmology is booming using the most recent developments in particle physics and general relativity. France in particular is well placed in this theme, the community is structured and several theoretical physics laboratories have made it a strong focus of their scientific policy.

This junior chair aims to support these developments, by recruiting a researcher in theoretical cosmology, working on one or more aspects of this field: cosmology, gravitational waves, large-scale structures, dark energy and dark matter, astroparticles, primordial universe. Candidates must propose a research project which can be developed in one or more of the five host laboratories: the Center for Theoretical Physics of Marseille, the Institute of Astrophysics of Paris, the Institute of Theoretical Physics of Paris- Saclay, the Annecy-le-vieux Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and High Energies of Paris.

Résumé du projet d'enseignement

The candidate should propose a teaching project (42 hours) falling within the theme. This teaching project will then be discussed with the university of the CPJ host laboratory.

Environnement Financier

• Total financé (dont package ANR) : 200 k€
• Total du projet : 200 k€

Diffusion scientifique

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various  targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may  be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

Science ouverte

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible  as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

Science et société

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project’s socio-economic and cultural eco-system .

Indicateurs

The activity will be evaluated in particular on the basis of scientific production (publications, software, patents, etc.), on institutional and private partnerships formalized by contracts, on international presence, on the promotion of work to  multidisciplinary scientific communities, on innovation and its transfer to society and on scientific dissemination to non-specialist audiences.
