- Territorial dynamics and man/environment interactions
The selected post-doctoral researchers will be hosted in one of the LabexMed Research Units (see appendix 2). Their work will be dedicated in priority to the personal research project submitted in their application form. They will be closely associated to the activities of LabexMed. To that end, they could be offered a complementary mission by the hosting research unit, within theframework of collective LabexMed actions (supporting the coordination and the management of a specific project).
The selection of the applicants will be based on the quality of the scientific proposal as well as on the post-doc project and its integration within LabexMed research themes.
Depending on the applications contracts could be awarded for transverse research projects involving two or more of LabexMed’s research units. Such an application should then include one supporting letter from each of the unit concerned.
