Assignment to CRM-CNRS

The Insmi has a significant number of international research laboratories. The process of assignment abroad by the CNRS allows for long-term stays, typically from six months to a year, under good conditions.

For stays starting in September 2027, it will be in the fall of 2026 that assignment requests must be submitted. Since expatriation projects need to be prepared, it is therefore possible to start thinking about them now.

The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), Quebec’s partner of CRM-CNRS, covers all of mathematics in Quebec and Ottawa (in Ontario). The assignment can therefore take place in Montreal, but also in Quebec City, Ottawa, or Trois-Rivières.

The essential element for an assignment request is a solid scientific project with a colleague from the province of Quebec or Ottawa.

There are other Franco-Canadian international laboratories, including:

• the IRL Takuvik, at Laval University (Quebec City), which is part of the National Institute of Universe Sciences. Its members explore the issues of understanding the impacts of climate change and industrialization in the Canadian Arctic;
• the IRL PIMS-CNRS, dedicated to mathematics in Western Canada (notably in Vancouver).

Projects involving CRM-CNRS and one of these units can be considered.
