Recruitment without competition

Permanent positions at the CNRS are filled in principle by civil servants. However, it is possible to recruit contractual personnel in certain cases.

Contractual job offers

The CNRS recruits engineers and technicians (M/F) in all fields of professional activity, as well as doctoral and post-doctoral researchers (M/F) in all scientific disciplines, on fixed-term contracts (CDD) and permanent contracts (CDI).

The CNRS is a partner of Pôle Emploi and Place de l'Emploi Publique and is deploying an action plan to support its contractual staff (CDD charter).
