Offer Description

This profile was built by identifying two laboratories recognized in ecology and environment whose research would be strengthened by the arrival of a colleague on the general theme of biological recordings of environmental changes. The CNRS wishes to strengthen recent developments on this subject, which is one of the priority challenges of the CNRS COP relating to climate change. In addition, these two laboratories are in joint supervision with establishments with which the CNRS wishes to develop privileged relationships on the study of environmental changes affecting different types of aquatic environments.

The chair will strengthen interdisciplinary approaches within Chrono-Environnement (UMR 6249) aimed at studying the evolution of terrestrial or aquatic socio-ecosystems over the long term, by identifying and quantifying the influence of anthropogenic pressures and climate change on biodiversity. This chair will increase collaborations within LEMAR (UMR 6539) between research relating to the different levels of organization of life. It will increase the international visibility of work carried out on sentinel species of global changes in the marine environment.

The analysis of past environmental chronicles has already provided us with valuable information on the speed and amplitude of the profound environmental changes we face today. They are of a scale and speed without known precedent, and profoundly affect all levels of organization of life, from the organism to the ecosystem; leading to unpredictable induced effects and tipping points. In this context, it is necessary to refine the consequences of these changes of natural and/or anthropogenic origin on terrestrial or aquatic freshwater, brackish or marine ecosystems and the organisms which compose them and which constitute first order sentinels. The proposed scientific project must use new isotopic, biogeochemical and/or genomic tracing tools available, or to be constructed if necessary, to quantify recent developments in these changes in ecosystems and the physiology of fresh or salt water aquatic organisms and their environments.

Teaching will be discussed depending on the site where the laureate will be assigned. He/she will get involved on each site in existing courses.

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project's socio-economic and cultural eco-system.
