Dear colleagues, positions at CNRS (and INRIA) will (in all probability) be announced this winter. By then it will however be too late to properly prepare an application. Recent PhDs, postdocs etc interested in such positions should get right now in contact with teams who would like to recruit them.

Too cloudy in Montpellier to catch the totality phase of the #eclipse... a nice evening though looking at the pink flamingos, the "lighthouse" of Palavas, and finally, a bit of the moon escaping from the clouds.
