The ESNT, “Espace de Structure et réactions Nucléaires Théorique” (virtual laboratory of Nuclear Structure and reaction Theory) calls for postdoctoral candidates. The first position can start from January, 2026. The contract is for one year, with a possible extension for a second year. 

The documents for the application are detailed in the attached files. They should be sent before September, 20^th, to the steering committee. 

The selection process by the scientific council will take place in October.  Decision will be forwarded to the applicants before October 20^th.  

The successful candidate will then have to start the administrative formalities (at least ten weeks are required, before the possible official start date of the contract).

The ESNT, a framework for theoretical activities in nuclear structure and reactions, has been created by two CEA laboratories, SPN (DAM) and DPhN (DRF) carrying out research in low energy nuclear physics. It aims at strengthening the relations between theorists and experimentalists. The goal of this structure is also to coordinate scientific activities through the organization of workshops, in collaboration with short- (from a few days) or long-term (up to a few months) visitors, and through the works undertaken within a post-doc program. Besides pursuing their own research activity, the successful candidate is expected to participate in the various ESNT activities and to organize a topical workshop during the contract period.
The activities of the ESNT take place in the Nuclear Physics Department (DPhN) of the CEA Saclay. More information about the ESNT programs and future projects can be found at: https://esnt.cea.fr

For the development of their project proposal, the applicants are invited to take account of the theoretical and experimental environment of the ESNT and to examine the activities of groups* with which they might enter into collaboration according to their themes of interest.
