Are you a PhD or other student or researcher who would like to work on stimulating projects in an international, innovative, interdisciplinary setting? Thanks to its agile project team model, Inria fosters innovation through industrial partnerships and the creation of startups, whilst guaranteeing close support.

Become a civil servant researcher

As a public research institution, Inria mainly recruits its permanent staff, whether directors of research (grade DR2) or researchers (grade CRCN), by a competitive recruitment procedure. If you are interested in applying, keep an eye out for the announcement of the competitive recruitment procedures organised each year for employees with civil servant status (i.e. French State employees): no nationality restrictions apply.

Exceptionally in 2022, chairs of junior professor are open in various centres of the Institute.
