We are thrilled to announce that the CNAP concours 2025 has officially been launched, as announced today on their website and published in the Journal officiel de la République française. Due to some governmental difficulties in the last few months, the national budget couldn’t be voted earlier than two days ago, exceptionally postponing the beginning of the CNAP concours for 2025. As also announced in an email on the SF2A newsletter, the online application portal is now live.

Key Details

  • Opening Date: 7th February 2025
  • Closing Date: 10th March 2025 at 16:00 CET

Candidates now have roughly one month to submit their applications for the CNAP research positions. Please note that all applications must be completed and submitted online on the GALAXY portal before the deadline.

⚠️ Note that, each year, some applications are dropped due to missing documents, in particular in the administrative part of the application. Please check carefully the full list of required documents and that you have indeed uploaded them to the portal.

This year, the concours is opened for 5 adjoint astronomer positions (2+3 probably vacant).

Resources for Applicants

The CNAP website summarizes all the required documents on a page specific to the concours:

We encourage all candidates to read this page carefully, as it provides essential information on the required documents. Many of our blog posts here contain information relevant for the CNAP as well as for the CNRS concours and they are not always the same!
