CNRS positions - the 2021 campaign

The 2021 campaign for permanent research positions at the CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) is open (see the submission site). The deadline is January 7th 2021 (13:00 Paris time). There are 242 open positions at the CR level and 261 for DR2: these numbers have been almost constant since 2019, as shown in the graph below:

The official texts: CRCN, DR2.
 
 The results of the 2020 campaign are no longer available on the CNRS site, but they have been aggregated by François-Xavier Coudert here. It might be interesting to note a large number of changes (marked by red background) between the admissibility and the admission phases.
