The University Clermont Auvergne (UCA) in Clermont-Ferrand, France
is offering a CPJ position (Junior Professor Chair) that will be
available by September 2023.</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">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.<br>
<br>
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 (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.isima.fr/">https://www.isima.fr/</a>

<div class="moz-forward-container">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.</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">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.<br>
<br>
The teaching service will be 64 hours per year and will focus on
the algorithmics of Artificial Intelligence and its applications.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<br>
Additional informations regarding the application procedure and
schedule will be communicated later.<br>
