This call is designed to foster original and high-level disciplinary research across all scientific and artistic fields represented at Université Côte d'Azur.

The objective of the call is to invite external researchers, lecturers and artists of a very high level for a relatively long duration (6 to 24 months). The successful chairs are expected to strengthen the research and creativity potential of our site and to significantly increase the reputation and visibility of Université Côte d'Azur, especially through the establishment of ambitious international collaborations. Additionally, the chairs are envisioned to prepare for potential future recruitment at Université Côte d'Azur.

Interested candidates should first get in touch with a research laboratory or a group member of Université Côte d’Azur ecosystem (https://univ-cotedazur.fr).
Together, the candidate and the local host will come up with an original research program and submit the application through our dedicated platform Nuxéo.
