JOB /OFFER DESCRIPTION:
Iméra, the Institute for Advanced Study at Aix-Marseille University, in cooperation with the "t-co.re@AMU" Excellence Chair and its network, offers a 10-month chair to researchers from all disciplines.

Residency at Iméra means immersing yourself in a bilingual environment open to Francophone culture and, more broadly, to interculturality in the unique context of Marseille, a historical melting pot. It also means discovering the research of other residents and experimenting with new forms of collective intelligence that blend methods, subjects, and disciplines. Scientific activities are led by program directors who support residents throughout their stay and ensure interactions with the Iméra scientific community.
Residency period: September 1, 2025 – July 3, 2026 (Ten months – full academic year).
