================<br>
<br>
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. <br>
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> ,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.clermont-auvergne-inp.fr/">https://www.clermont-auvergne-inp.fr/</a> ).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
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>
