Dear colleagues, The University of Mayotte (France) invites applications for a Lecturer position (Ma�tre de conf�rences, CNU sections 67/68) in Ecology of lagoon ecosystems. The successful candidate will develop research on population and community ecology of lagoon ecosystems (coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangroves), with a particular focus on understanding the effects of anthropogenic pressures on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Approaches may include functional ecology, biodiversity assessment, population dynamics, ecological modelling, bioindication, participatory science, or environmental monitoring. The position is affiliated with the MARBEC research unit (UMR 9190, Montpellier/S�te) and offers strong opportunities for collaboration within a rapidly developing research environment focused on marine socio-ecosystems in the Western Indian Ocean. The position benefits from access to field and laboratory facilities (scientific diving, molecular biology, remote sensing, experimental platforms) and from close interactions with local stakeholders (e.g. Mayotte Marine Natural Park). Teaching duties will be carried out in the Life Sciences licence, including ecology, biodiversity, and quantitative methods. The candidate is expected to be involved in teaching, student supervision, and academic life, within a young and dynamic department. Mayotte hosts one of the largest enclosed lagoon systems in the world, providing exceptional opportunities for research on tropical marine ecosystems under strong anthropogenic pressure. Applicants must hold (or obtain) a national qualification for Lecturer positions (CNU sections 67 or 68). Applications must be submitted through the official national platform Odyss�e: https://odyssee.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/ Deadline for application: April 3, 2026 Contacts: chiraz.trabelsi@univ-mayotte.fr patricia.cucchi@umontpellier.fr Best regards, CORSE Emmanuel Maitre de conf�rences Universit� de Mayotte D�partement Sciences & Technologies Contact: 0633349243 Emmanuel CORSE (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
