| Second call of UPSaclay-STAR-Phi Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme | Closing date: 2026-07-15
Contact: Frédéric Galliano |
The Graduate School of Physics at Université Paris-Saclay (France) is opening the second call of its postdoctoral fellowship programme: UPSaclay-STAR-phi, supported by the EU Marie Curie COFUND action.
| | ▸ more | Through this call, the programme will recruit up to 22 international postdoctoral researchers, for 24-month research projects in one of the 40 laboratories of the Graduate School, at the SOLEIL synchrotron, or at the French National Metrology Lab (LNE). This includes 4 astrophysics laboratories: the Department of Astrophysics (DAp) of CEA Paris-Saclay, the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS), the Laboratoire Atmosphères et Observations Spatiales (LATMOS) and the Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas (LPP).
- Application deadline: July 15th, 2026.
- Expected start of fellowships: early 2027 (flexible).
Applicants will propose their own research project aligned with the School’s wide-ranging fields, from fundamental to applied physics.
Notice that the postdoctoral candidate must not have been based in France for more than 12 months, during the past 3 years.

| Postdoc positions - Calibration data scientist & Calibration instrument scientist - MPI for Astronomy | Closing date: 2026-07-31
Contact: Dr. Joerg-Uwe Pott |
| The Galaxies and Cosmology department seeks two exceptionally motivated and skilled experimental astrophysicists with practical experience in developing optical instrumentation. We seek to strengthen our team to build and exploit the calibration unit (MCA) and the warm optical relay of the ELT first-light instrument MICADO. MICADO is a near-infrared, adaptive-optics assisted imager and spectrograph with exceptional scientific capabilities. | | ▸ more | Specific duties: will depend on the particular experience and strengths of the candidate, the above distinction between calibration data scientist and instrument scientist is somewhat arbitrary. But the ideal instrument scientist will lead the practical side of the verification of the MCA subsystem hardware, will setup functional tests of the final hardware (lamps, stages, hexapod, fibres etc.). Whereas the ideal calibration data scientist will explore the raw data quality, verify data reduction steps, interact with the data pipeline development team and contribute to developing data quality assessment.
Duties will benefit from experience with astronomical mission calibration plans, systematic data analysis of larger amount of calibration data, instrument documentation to ESO standards. Goal is the testing of available MCA hardware and its integration into the overall MICADO instrument to prepare for the preliminary acceptance Europe (PAE) testing at the ESO headquarters in Garching towards the end of the hire.
