The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) is calling for candidates to the position of the Director of the Institut National de Physique Nucleaire et de Physique des Particules, IN2P3, (successor of Prof. Michel Spiro). The President and the Director-General of CNRS have charged a committee of internationally renowned scientists to prepare a short-list of suitable candidates for their final selection. Interested candidates should send their application before November 15th, since the new director should be in place on January 1st. A description of the position and more information on the procedure may be found (in French) at: http://www.sg.cnrs.fr/drh/cadres-sup/pdf/mob-encad_annonce_directeur_IN2P3.pdf

　　IN2P3 has been created in 1971 to promote and coordinate the national French research in the domains of nuclear physics and particle physics. IN2P3 fulfils this mission for all universities and institutes that depend from the Ministries of National Education and Research, excepted the Atomic Energy Agency CEA. As an institute within CNRS, IN2P3 is thus regrouping the domains of nuclear physics, particle physics and astroparticle physics. Approximately 2500 researchers, professors and associate professors, engineers, technicians (out of which 1900 CNRS staff) work in 20 laboratories.
