Junior professor’s chair in Cryospheric alpine hydrology
INRAE / IGE
The Institute of Geosciences of the Environment IGE is a joint research unit (CNRS, INRAE, IRD, UGA, Grenoble INP) hosted on the campus of St Martin d’Hères near Grenoble and is part of the Observatoire des Sciences de l’Univers de Grenoble (OSUG). The IGE studies climate, the functioning of the planet and its evolution in terms of pollution, global changes and risks for societies. Historically, the IGE conducts its research in regions with significant societal and environmental issues : the polar regions, the intertropical zone, and mountain regions. The average number of staff in the laboratory is about 330, including 190 permanent members (researchers, teacher-researchers, engineers, technicians and administrative staff) and about 140 doctoral students, post-doctoral students and staff on fixed-term contracts. Each year, the laboratory welcomes about 100 trainees and scientific visitors.
The University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA) plays a key role in the Grenoble area and is internationally recognized: ranked in the top 150 in the Shanghai 2023 ranking of the world’s best universities, 5th in France and 1st outside the Île-de-France region, it is also ranked 35th in the world in the field of geophysics. The IGE contributes to this positioning.

Cryospheric Sciences (CR)
Hydrological Sciences (HS)
The IGE opens a tenure-track position (Junior professor’s chair, JPC) which, after a pre-tenure period of 3 years and an evaluation, will turn into a permanent research position at INRAE with a rank equivalent to a full professor (director corps, DR2). The aim of this CPJ will be to assess the impact of changes in hydrological systems in Alpine regions. The candidate will benefit from a financial support of 320 k€ (co-funding ANR / INRAE), enabling in particular the funding of a thesis during the project and the support of a major scientific project. The applicant must also propose a teaching project within the PhiTEM UFR of the UGA, for an annual volume of 64 hours.
