Temporary teaching and research associate (ATER) in mechanical engineering, civil engineering and industrial engineering at Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France. Research field: Engineering. If you're at the postdoc stage, this belongs on your shortlist. Requirements differ by year and track, so confirm the current criteria on the official source linked below. Partial funding helps, but plan for the shortfall. Calculate total costs (tuition, housing, food, insurance), subtract the award, and make sure the remaining amount is realistic for you. The deadline is 2026-11-06. Work backwards: give yourself at least 3–4 weeks for documents (transcripts, letters, test scores) and 1–2 weeks for the actual application writing. Apply through the official link below — never through agents or third parties asking for fees. Legitimate scholarships and jobs never charge application fees. Before applying, do three things. First, compare your profile against every listed requirement and address gaps honestly in your cover letter — "I haven't used X, but I learned Y in two weeks on my last project" beats silence. Second, check the organization's website and recent news so your application references something current. Third, line up references who can speak to relevant work. After applying, note the deadline and follow up once if you hear nothing in 2–3 weeks. Keep applying elsewhere in parallel — never pause your search for one application. Two practical rules: (1) Never pay anyone who guarantees selection — legitimate programs select on merit and charge no fees beyond official application charges. (2) Read the official eligibility page twice, slowly. Most rejections aren't about weak candidates; they're about strong candidates who missed one requirement buried in paragraph four.
