[Eeglablist] CNRS tenure track research positions in France

[Arnaud Delorme]

The French CNRS National institution is offering about 400 full time  
tenure track research positions in all areas of research including  
cognitive and computational neuroscience. The deadline for applying is  
the 7th of January.

The CNRS has been ranked 1st research institution worldwide according  
to a recent ranking from SCImago (http://www.scimagojr.com).

There is no nationality requirement and no requirement to speak French  
to apply to the CNRS. CNRS researchers are independent researchers  
that define their own line of research and may supervise many PhD and  
post-doctoral fellows (although 100% of CNRS researchers' salary is  
covered by the French government, external funding must be secured to  
pay salaries for PhD and post-doctoral fellows).

Applicants are evaluated by national instances composed of senior  
researchers. These instances hire researchers for all top research  
department/laboratories in France. The main criteria for selection is  
excellency. One usually needs to contact a productive hosting  
department/laboratory before applying (although this is not required,  
chances of being hired without support from a department/laboratory  
are slim). All applicants will be invited for interview in Paris in  
March 2009 (there is no selection before the interview).

As with all French administrative positions, CNRS researchers are  
hired for life (there is a 1-year trial period that nobody has ever  
failed at). Net salaries range from 2 000 euros (starting) to 4 500  
euros per months and can be increased by up to 1 500 per month based  
on excellency and/or by 250 euros per month for committing to teach 60  
hours a year (there is no teaching requirements for CNRS researchers).
