I am moving to Paris for a postdoc in spring 2021 and I have received funding from Denmark for two years. I am considering whether administering the grant myself or having it administered by INSERM. I would like to have detailed information on how the salary will be calculated in each case and how to get a work contract and social security, as well how to pay taxes in case I administer the grant myself. I know in other places this kind of contract would be a visiting researcher contract. I am an EU citizen (IT). I do not speak French at the moment but I am starting language classes. Any useful link for where to gather information for this situation would be highly appreciated.

Contact your supervisor, and ask them to direct you to the person(s) in the French university who can answer your questions.– LouicJan 19, 2021 at 15:52

I have already done this, but it is really difficult to communicate with the administration. I wonder whether there is a source of information online for foreign researchers in my situation.– chiocciolaJan 19, 2021 at 15:54

It is my experience in France that most things are arranged in person. I doubt that there are resources online that can give you all the information you need, and I think your best bet is to talk to administration, possibly with help from a future group member. Also, it is (almost) always hard to do administration in a foreign country. In any case I cannot help you further, but I can wish you the best of luck!– LouicJan 19, 2021 at 16:23

We don't really do requests for "useful links," so closing this for now. If you like, you could rephrase the post to ask your question directly and then flag for reopening.– cag51 ♦Mar 10, 2021 at 3:18
