Employment policy
Recruiting a wide range of skills
Every year, the organization recruits several thousand permanent and contract staff to meet the scientific needs of its laboratories and departments. The diversity of professions and skills represented at CNRS is considerable. Profession networks" enable staff to share their experiences and professional practices.
Guaranteeing professional development throughout the career
It is essential to recognize the experience and skills acquired over time and to make the most of them in the careers of our employees. CNRS is committed to offering the maximum number of career advancement opportunities, whether through professional examination, internal competition or promotion.
Internal mobility (NOEMI and FSEP) represents an opportunity for staff to diversify their career paths. The two annual campaigns enable many engineers and technicians to move to new positions within CNRS units.
Supporting agents in their professional lives
Support for CNRS staff is provided locally by unit managers and local HR teams (SRH delegations). From the moment they take up their new posts and during their first year of employment, these teams monitor their professional development, which continues throughout their career by providing advice and assistance at every stage of their professional life: putting together career files, preparing for competitive examinations, assisting with mobility and training.
