Stratégie d'établissement
This CNRS tenure-track position is proposed with the aim of strengthening the research capabilities in biomolecular archaeology of society-environment interactions of a laboratory that currently occupies a major position in bioarchaeology at national and international levels (UMR BioArch CNRS MNHN). The CNRS wishes to strengthen recent developments in this field, as well as the national research potential in bioarchaeology, as demonstrated by the creation in 2025 of a research federation led by the BioArch laboratory. In addition, the CNRS is keen to develop relationships with the MNHN on the study of current and past society-environment interactions using innovative technologies.
Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil
Proteomic approaches in archaeometry are mainly developed by Anglo-Saxon and American teams, and are still relatively under-represented in France. For ten years, the BioArch laboratory has been developing these approaches in collaboration with the MNHN mass spectrometry platform, which is very attractive internationally. This tenure-track position will enable the development of this promising activity, and make the BioArch laboratory a national centre in this discipline. The research will be fully integrated into the two research areas of the laboratory dedicated to the bioarchaeology of terrestrial and aquatic socio-ecosystems from the final Pleistocene to the industrial era, and to the cultural diversity of practices and uses applied to the animal and plant worlds. They will also contribute to the proposed cross-disciplinary workshop to federate analytical tools, practices and synergies in bioarchaeology.
Stratégie Internationale
The objective of this CNRS tenure-track position is to recruit a young scientist with an international reputation and strong potential for supervising young French and foreign students. The selected candidate will also be expected to strengthen and develop links with national and international partners in bioarchaeology. He/she will be expected to implement initiatives and partnerships in the thematic field and to commit to submitting a project within the framework of European calls (ERC, Horizon Europe Consortium, etc.) over the 5 years of his/her contract.

Résumé du projet scientifique
Bioarchaeological archives are valuable indicators that make it possible to document the intensity and methods of human pressure on living organisms through hunting, gathering and the domestication of plants and animals, and also to reconstruct the diversity of these practices. Palaeoproteomics has recently emerged as a powerful method for identifying biological remains of animal or plant origin, applicable to a variety of contexts. This CNRS tenure-track position will reinforce the most recent developments in the discipline, applicable to a variety of biomaterials and secondary products resulting from human activities. The aim is to document the dynamics of Late Glacial and Holocene socio-ecological interactions in order to describe the impact of human societies on past biodiversity, as well as their economic and symbolic practices, without geographical limits.
Résumé du projet d'enseignement
The selected candidate will be involved in existing teaching programmes at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle. He or she will play a role in the construction of new training modules coordinated locally in connection with the research theme.

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.
