At a time when some scientists in the United States may feel threatened or hindered in their research, our university is announcing the launch of the “Safe Place for Science” program, dedicated to welcoming scientists who wish to continue their work in an environment conducive to innovation, excellence, and academic freedom.

As a major player in European research, Aix Marseille Université offers state-of-the-art facilities, large-scale international collaborations, and strong support for scientists working on groundbreaking and forward-looking topics.

The AMIDEX Foundation will help fund these positions, particularly those focused on topics related to climate, the environment, health, and the humanities and social sciences (HSS).

The call for applications is currently suspended. An initial selection phase is being conducted based on applications received by March 31, 2025. Further information will be provided shortly.

We expect to be able to raise up to 15 million euros for a 3-year program, and will be working with local institutions to host around 15 researchers.
