Eight Junior Professor Chairs at the Lyon Saint-Étienne site selected by the Ministry for 2022

Established by the French Research Programming Law (LPR - Loi de Programmation de la Recherche) of December 24, 2020, the “Junior Professor Chair” (CPJ – Chaire de Professeur Junior) is aimed at young researchers with a strong potential to manage and lead research teams, as well as to participate in national, European or international projects.

Objectives of CPJs:

• To accelerate the academic career of young researchers
• To propose a new way of recruiting for research and teaching projects

For this second round of Junior Professor Chairs, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation has selected 137 CPJs, 88 of which are open in higher education institutions.

Eight of these chairs are open in the higher education institutions in Lyon and Saint-Étienne.
