Stratégie d'établissement

This CNRS chair, of an interdisciplinary nature, is designed at the interface of CNRS institutes—the National Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (INSU) and the Institute for Engineering and Systems Sciences (INSIS)—and is also connected to the CNRS Mission for Transversal and Interdisciplinary Initiatives (MITI). The targeted laboratories eligible to host this tenure-track position (CPJ) are already involved in this area through the EquipEx+ Terra Forma initiative. This thematic area is also supported by national actions, particularly the national workshops on 'Instrumentation for Environmental Monitoring' and the professional network 'Environmental Sensors'.

Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil

The selected candidate will conduct research related to the development of new concepts (frugal instrumentation, low-tech) for the observation of the environment. The goal is to define the role of new technologies in addressing socio-environmental transition challenges, within the framework of the EquipEx+ Terra Forma project, in connection with the Data Terra research infrastructure (and the EquipEx+ Data Gaia). The candidate will be able to rely on existing infrastructures, such as the Observatories of the Sciences of the Universe (OSU) network. Components, sub-systems, and systems developed for field deployment will make use of the RENATECH network platforms for micro- and nanotechnology. The main OSUs involved are: OMP and OSUR, and the main institutions are Université Toulouse Paul Sabatier and Université de Rennes. The relevant INSU and INSIS laboratories are: GET, LAAS, and CESBIO (for the Toulouse site), and Geosciences Rennes and IETR (for the Rennes site).

Stratégie Internationale

This chair is directly linked to the involvement of INSU and INSIS in European research infrastructures. The recruited candidate will be expected to lead international partnerships focused on the design of innovative, intelligent, and connected sensors, as well as data exploitation and the organization of observation campaigns involving these developments. Regular observations and measurement campaigns will be conducted on existing field sites and platforms, which have demonstrated over the past ten years their ability to train a pool of outstanding young researchers in the development of new instruments, novel analysis methods, and modeling approaches—potential candidates for this position.

Résumé du projet scientifique

The emergence of systemic approaches to the study of the critical zone has introduced new challenges: the need to detect dynamic interactions between humans, living organisms, and abiotic elements at relevant spatial and temporal resolutions. This junior professorship (CPJ) aims to define the role of new technologies and concepts (frugality, low-tech, additive manufacturing) in addressing socio-environmental transition challenges, with the goal of enhancing in-situ observation systems in terms of efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. The new sensors may be physical, chemical, or biological. They will be tested under near-natural conditions to assess their robustness and to help build a new community of practice. Key objectives also include optimizing energy autonomy, integrating embedded intelligence (AI), enabling data transfer (IoT), and improving sensor usability.

Résumé du projet d'enseignement

The teaching duties at the affiliated university will take the form of a “mission to support observation,” positioned at the interface between the OSUs and the OZCAR research infrastructure. This mission will aim to establish a policy to address the challenges of integrating, archiving, and distributing very large volumes of data generated by the new acquisition technologies developed in the project. A major objective is the systematic FAIRification of observational data, which involves a high standard of data and service quality in close collaboration with the infrastructures and OSUs that collect the data. This will notably involve adapting procedures to efficiently archive and make large volumes of data available to the scientific community in an interoperable way, in line with current international standards, while also improving the quality control of these data.

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.
