Internal mobility is the main lever for developing career paths.
It enables us to :
- fill positions that meet unit needs and aspirations
- encourage staff involvement, loyalty and fulfillment
- contribute to the development of individual skills
Mobility is a major component of our HR policy.
The management guidelines set out the general directions of CNRS's mobility policy for the next few years.
Internal mobility
Internal mobility at CNRS
La campagne de mobilité interne de printemps 2026 sera ouverte du 30 avril au 2 juin 2026 à 17h. Consulter dès à présent l’actualité liée à cette campagne : La Science est en mouvement, moi aussi ! Â
Nous vous invitons à découvrir les portraits de 3 agents mobiles ainsi qu’une brochure​ dédiée à la mobilité interne au CNRS.
Two annual campaigns
The IT internal mobility scheme enables priority jobs to be filled within the various CNRS structures.
Internal mobility takes the form of two annual campaigns:
- a winter campaign (December-January).
- a spring campaign (May-June).
These campaigns offer positions open to all three civil services (NOEMI).
The winter campaign also offers positions (FSEP) reserved exclusively for CNRS civil servants and permanent staff. Further information is available on theCNRS intranet (access restricted to CNRS staff).
Most positions are posted the week the campaign opens, but new positions may be posted right up to the last day of the campaign! So don't hesitate to check the site regularly to see if there's a position that matches your career plan.
All year round
Job mobility offers are posted throughout the year during and between these 2 campaigns for certain sensitive positions (where long vacancies can be very detrimental to the smooth running of the CNRS).
Application procedure
Priority to CNRS employees
Positions advertised for internal mobility are primarily open to CNRS employees (permanent and permanent contract civil servants), with the exception of trainee civil servants.
All civil servants on secondment
Civil servants (tenured and permanent) from the three public services can also apply (for NOEMI-type positions only).
If you are a non-CNRS civil servant, your application will be considered within the limits of the establishment's budget.
The procedure
Vous pouvez consulter les offres sur le site Portail Emploi et postulez sur celles de votre choix directement en ligne. Vous créez votre compte et transmettez votre curriculum vitae et votre lettre de motivation.
Vous pouvez consulter ici le guide à destination des candidats et candidates, le guide d’utilisation du Portail Emploi ainsi que les offres sur le site Portail Emploi.
The recruiters at the assignment site examine the applications validated by the human resources department in Portail Emploi, and may propose an interview.
Recruiters will inform you via the Job Portal, in liaison with the HR department of the regional delegation, of the outcome of your application, whether you are selected or not.
Taking office
NOEMI

In the case of ongoing mobility, the date on which you take up your new post is agreed between your host and host organization, but may not exceed 3 months from the date on which your mobility is formalized with your home organization.
However, in the case of geographical mobility and for justified personal reasons, a start date no later than 5 months after the formalization of the mobility may be envisaged.
Training and job adaptation initiatives
Individualized training can be offered to help you take up your new position. The HR department is at your disposal for this support.
