Bonjour, I would like to share with you three different announcements of positions and Visitor Program at the Earth's Science department of University Clermont Auvergne. (Sorry for multiple posting). 1- Opening of a Professorship position at Laboratoire of Magmas and Volcans, University Clermont Auvergne, France. The hiring procedure will start soon and the work is expected to start in september 2025 (see details below) 2- Post-doc fellows (3 positions expected) in the framework of the Program of Excellence ClerVolc (see below and/or attached document). Note that ClerVolc covers a large range of topics around the Volcano Science, including deep mantle properties for example. - Call for the Visitor Program in the framework of the Program of Excellence ClerVolc (see below and/or attached document). Thanks in advance. Best regards Denis =1================== Professor position at Magmas and Volcanoes Laboratory at University Clermont Auvergne, France The Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans seeks to recruit a full professor. The successful candidate will join one of the Magmas and Volcanoes Laboratory teams (volcanology, experimental petrology, geochemistry). He/she will be responsible for projects of international scope in the broad field of magmas and volcanoes, from source regions in the deep mantle to volcanic eruptions and associated risks, or in the field of primitive Earth. The aim is to recruit a scientists capable of developing a new area of excellence within the laboratory, or strengthening one of its specialist areas. The primary vocation of the LMV is to develop concepts and tools in the disciplinary fields of volcanology, petrology and geochemistry, which make it possible to answer fundamental questions with strong implications in volcanology and magmatology. These answers are always structured around cutting-edge technology and/or experimental or analytical developments. LMV research therefore uses the most efficient methods and tools from several disciplines of Earth Sciences (experimental magmatology, mineralogy, petrology, geophysics, isotopic and elemental geochemistry, materials physics, physical and analog volcanology, etc) and is based on a large fleet of experimental equipment and chemical and physical characterizations of rocks and minerals (see page https://lmv.uca.fr/). Teaching will concern the Earth Sciences Training at the Observatoire de Physique du Globe de Clermont-Ferrand (OPGC), at the Bachelor's (L1 to L3) and master's levels. The candidate will have to teach in French and English in some of the following fields: magmatic, petrology, geochemistry, volcanology, geodynamics, field geology, geomaterials and hydrogeology. In addition to teaching in his or her specialist areas, the person recruited will be expected to get involved in pedagogical and institutional responsibilities. Candidates will be able to apply from Feb. 2025 to the end of March 2025, 4PM Paris time. Interviews will take place in May 2025 and the position will start in October 2025. However, note that candidates occupying a position outside of France must go through a national qualification phase. This qualification phase is done online from October, 15, 2024 to December, 6, 2024 on the following portal https://www.galaxie.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/ensu/cand_qualification_Odyssee.htm Salary is fixed nationally and depends on the experience of the recruited person and goes from 3200 € to 6500 € before tax. Salary includes the classical French benefits package (health insurance plus retirement).

Our consortium aims at developing fundamental research in volcano science. We tackle a broad range of themes including origin of volcanoes, mantle heterogeneities and deep magma sources, role of volatile elements, magmatic and hydrothermal plumbing systems, volcanic plumes, ash clouds, lava flows, and structure and stability of edifices. Proposals involving the relevant fields of science (geology, petrology, high-P-T experimentation, geochemistry, geophysics, analogical experiments, numerical modelling, remote sensing, mathematics, meteorology, physics, computer science, data science) are of interest, as are developments of new approaches for tackling fundamental questions. With more than twelve years of activity, ClerVolc has acquired an impressive set of world-class instruments, has developed unique knowledge, and has conducted outstanding research. Potential applicants with specific research needs can contact ClerVolc members to match and enrich our mutual research capabilities. Each fellowship is supported for 24 months. It includes a research allowance based on the proposal. The gross annual salary will be the Junior/Senior Post-Doctoral Allocation fixed by our University, depending on the candidate's experience; it includes the classical French benefits package (health insurance plus retirement and unemployment benefits). Proposals should be written in English and sent as a single pdf file by email to the ClerVolc director (denis.andrault@uca.fr) by December 9th, 2024. They should consist of (1) a short CV, (2) an account of past research (max 3 pages), (3) a non-exhaustive list of achievements (selected publications, conferences, etc.; max 1 page), (4) the research proposal (max 5 pages) with attached references and an evaluation of envisaged costs for the planned research, (5) a short letter of motivation including career plans, (6) names of two referees that the selection committee may contact directly and (7) pdfs of three publications. Candidates with a post-doctoral experience will be given priority. Working language can be French or English. The selection process will take place in January 2025 and attributions will be announced soon after. Contracts can start between April and November 2025.
