================

The University Clermont Auvergne (UCA) and Clermont Auvergne INP in 
Clermont-Ferrand, France, is offering a JPC position (Junior Professor 
Chair) that will be available by September 2023.
Junior Professor Chairs (JPC) correspond to a new program in France that 
offers highly qualified young researchers an opportunity to conduct 
quality research through the creation of a dedicated environment 
(material and financial). They provide a real professional leverage that 
can lead to a permanent position as a full professor within 5 years, 
while also promoting the establishment of a genuine international 
synergy with the stakeholders involved.

The selected candidate will be involved in research activities as part 
of the LIMOS (limos.fr ), a CNRS laboratory, and will also be in charge 
of teaching at the engineering school ISIMA of Clermont Auvergne INP 
(https://www.isima.fr/ , https://www.clermont-auvergne-inp.fr/ ).

This chair aims to develop a research activity around models and 
algorithms for AI by placing it within a data-knowledge continuum. At 
the heart of AI lies the algorithmics of learning. Beyond the design of 
new methods, particularly in a weakly supervised context, several 
research directions are being explored, such as explainability. Defining 
effective learning methods based on optimization techniques and game 
theory is also a promising research target. Finally, the question of the 
formal representation of knowledge opens the way to research on 
interactions between symbolic AI approaches and learning from data.
This ambitious and unifying project lies at the intersection of several 
themes of the LIMOS and connects with those of other laboratories in the 
area. The research questions are anchored in the "Data" cross-cutting 
program of the ISite CAP2025 and will draw on the application domains of 
the ISite's International Research Centers.

The teaching service will be 64 hours per year and will focus on the 
algorithmics of Artificial Intelligence and its applications.

For this specific position at UCA, the first phase of the contract is 
for five years during which the successful candidate will receive 
funding of 200,000 euros for their research activities, including the 
recruitment of a doctoral and postdoctoral student. The salary during 
this period will be 3,443.50 euros per month (before deductions for 
taxes) which makes it around 2,600 euros per month (after taxes). At the 
end of the five-year period, and after a successful evaluation by a 
tenure commission, the CPJ can lead to a permanent position as a full 
professor.


Additional informations regarding the application procedure and schedule 
will be communicated later.
