Recruitment campaign for professor-researchers - 2015 UPMC - Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Sorbonne Universités INFORMATION ABOUT THE POSITION Position Number 27 MCF 1394 (4286) Relevant department DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING Position type Associate Professor (Article 26-I-1) Location Jussieu Campus CNU Section 27 - Computer science TITLE AND SUMMARY OF THE POSITION Computational Intelligence/Statistical Machine Learning The recruited candidate will join either the LFI or the MLIA team of LIP6. LFI's research focuses on Computational Intelligence and is devoted to developing intelligent systems that perform interpretable decisions. MLIA develops different methodologies for tackling Statistical Machine Learning. EURAXESS RESEARCH FIELD Computer science Other TEACHING Relevant teaching topics Undergraduate and master’s level computer science At least half of the successful applicant’s teaching responsibilities will be at the undergraduate level. He or she will also participate in the master’s program in computer science, particularly in the Data, Learning and Knowledge (DAC) specialty. Teaching objectives and supervisory requirements The new Data, Learning and Knowledge (DAC) specialty covers a wide range of practical and theoretical topics within the field of data sciences and computational intelligence (databases, information retrieval, artificial intelligence, statistical learning, symbolic learning, data mining, big data, business intelligence, and digital humanities). The recruited candidate will be expected to teach topics related to his or her specialty as well as take on training and supervisory responsibilities. The successful applicant will also be involved in career guidance or professional development training for undergraduates, especially by supervising internships. The recruited candidate will be involved in the student research projects (AREs) for first-year students as well as career guidance and workforce readiness training, particularly through the formal career guidance and workforce readiness courses offered as part of the undergraduate curriculum. RESEARCH Research in the Department of Artificial Learning (DAPA) focuses on learning (automatic, statistic and symbolic) and databases. This vacancy targets two research profiles, computational intelligence and statistical learning, which will involve the LFI or MLIA teams, respectively, within the department. The research topics associated with this position fall along two axes: • Computational intelligence: Artificial learning approaches, model-based reasoning with imperfect knowledge (numero-symbolic models based on logical flow or non-probabilistic models…). Learning models and accounting for dynamic environments. • Statistical learning: We welcome both formal and algorithmic approaches to statistical learning and associated fields. Particular fields of interest include handling complex data, big data, distributed learning, online learning and neuronal networks. The successful applicant will strengthen and develop research projects and collaboration between the LFI (Learning Fuzzy and Intelligent Systems) and MLIA (Machine Learning and Information Access) teams in their existing research and applied fields, which include e-health, intelligent sensors, artificial perception, affective computing, ecotechnology and data science.
