Working at LATMOS

Whether you have a scientific, engineering, technical or administrative profile, our job offers are open to all graduates (BAC to BAC+ 8 level) and are spread across our Guyancourt (OVSQ campus) and Paris (PMC campus) sites. .

LATMOS is recruiting mainly in 3 Branches of Professional Activities (BAP) covering the fields of engineering sciences and scientific instrumentation (BAP C), computer engineering, statistics and scientific computing ( BAP E), as well as management and administrative steering (BAP J).

This section will present the positions offered for recruitment of contractual and permanent staff (via the terms of external CNRS competitions and our university supervision UVSQ and SU).

Here are some examples of typical profiles offered by our laboratory for each of these BAPs:

  • BAP C – Engineering sciences and scientific instrumentation
    • Technician/engineer in instrument design, development, and operation (fields of optics, analytical chemistry, project management, systems engineering, etc.)
    • Technician/engineer in electronics, particularly in the field of microwaves, and control-command
    • Technician/engineer in mechanical design and production
  • BAP E – Computer science, statistics and scientific computing
    • Technician/engineer in information systemsengineering
    • Software engineering engineer
    • Engineer in scientific computing,digital modeling
  • BAP J – Management and Steering
    • Technician/engineer in charge of financial and accounting management
    • Technician/engineer in charge of administrative management, in charge of purchasing and markets
    • Technician/engineer in charge of human resources management

Researchers

you must have defended a thesis (3 years) and apply for the CNRS competitions.

Teacher-researchers

it is also necessary that the UFR or OSU on which the laboratory depends, open a position with a dual research and teaching mission. It is also possible to apply to the CNAP with an observation mission in the atmospheric or astronomy field.

Theses

It is possible to prepare a doctoral thesis (3 years) in the scientific fields covered by LATMOS, both on thematic and technical aspects. Financing can be very diverse. Funding can be granted by one of the doctoral schools (University) to which the laboratory’s researchers belong (ED127, ED129, ED SMEMAG). This selection is made between the months of May to July but contacts with the laboratory must be established well before. It can also come from a foreign university, an exchange program, organizations such as CNES, or schools (Ecole Météo, Ecole Normale, etc.). In this case, you have to do it well in advance. It can also come from the financing of projects granted to the laboratory extending over a period of at least 3 years within the framework of the ANR, Europe, labex, or DIM (in the region). Finally, for theses of a more technological nature, a CIFRE grant can be financed by an industrialist wishing to carry out upstream research in collaboration with the laboratory.

Internships

Finally, the laboratory welcomes many trainees, particularly in Masters or engineering schools. In this case, you must contact researchers or engineers individually according to their area of ​​expertise. It is possible to propose topics but it is preferable to draw inspiration from the topics proposed in previous years and not hesitate to discuss its exact outline.

Online list of courses offered

The laboratory also hosts discovery courses for 3rd grade students during 2 annual sessions (week before the Christmas holidays and week before the winter holidays in February). To apply, please send a CV and a personalized cover letter to the email address: stage3eme@latmos.ipsl.fr

Alternations

It is also possible to prepare work-study training, but candidates are invited to contact the laboratory in advance to possibly find the necessary funding.
