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 almost twenty 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).
