As part of its commitment to excellence and international outreach, the IdEx Université Côte d'Azur is launching the 2026 Young Researcher Excellence Fellowships campaign to encourage the recruitment of young researchers at post-doctoral level for a 24-month period in its laboratories. The call for proposals is designed to fund 12 contracts. All disciplines and themes are covered. Application deadline March 6, 2026.
Applicants must first contact a Université Côte d’Azur laboratory or research group.
Together, the candidate and supervisor will draw up an original research program, which will be submitted via our dedicated Nuxéo platform. Successful applicants are explicitly and contractually required to apply for a permanent position (such as permanent researcher – Chargé de Recherche) at Université Côte d’Azur or one of its partner institutions, or to submit an ERC grant application.
