Call for Research Fellow Chairs 2023
MIAI, the Grenoble Interdisciplinary
Institute in Artificial Intelligence (https://miai.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/),
is opening three research fellow chairs in AI reserved to
persons who have spent most of their research career outside
France (see below). MIAI is one of the four AI institutes
created by the French government and is dedicated to AI for
the human beings and the environment. Research activities in
MIAI aim to cover all aspects of AI and applications of AI
with a current focus on embedded and hardware architectures
for AI, learning and reasoning, perception and interaction,
AI & society, AI for health, AI for environment &
energy, and AI for industry 4.0.
These research fellow chairs aim to to
address important and ambitious research problems in
AI-related fields and will partly pave the way for the
future research to be conducted in MIAI. Successful
candidates will be appointed by MIAI and will be allocated,
for the whole duration of the chair, a budget of 250k€
covering PhD and/or postdoc salaries, internships, travels,
… They will be part of MIAI and the French network of AI
institutes (comprising, in addition to MIAI, the AI
institutes in Paris, Toulouse and Nice) which provide a very
dynamic environment for conducting research in AI.
Eligibility To
be eligible, candidates must hold a PhD from a non-French
university obtained after January 2014 for male applicants
and after 2014-n, where n is the number of
children, for female applicants. They must also have spent
more than two thirds of their research career since the
beginning of their PhD outside France. Lastly,
they should be pursuing internationally recognized research
in AI-related fields (including applications of AI to any
research field).
To apply Interested candidates should first
contact Eric Gaussier (eric.gaussier@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr)
to discuss salary and application modalities. It is
important to note that candidates should identify a local
collaborator working in one of the Grenoble academic
research labs with whom they will interact. If selected,
they will join the research team of this collaborator. They
should then send their application to Manel Boumegoura (manel.boumegoura@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr)
and Eric Gaussier (eric.gaussier@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr) by
March 11, 2023. Each application should comprise a
2-page CV, a complete list of publications, 2 reference
letters, a letter from the local collaborator indicating the
relevance and importance of the proposed project, and a
4-page description of the research project which can target
any topic of AI or applications of AI. It is important to
emphasize, in the description, the ambition, the originality
and the potential impact of the research to be conducted, as
well as the collaborations the candidate has or will develop
with Grenoble researchers in order to achieve her or his
research goals.
Starting
date and duration Each
chair is intended for 3 to 4 years, starting no later than
September 2023.
Location The work will take place in Grenoble,
in the research lab of the identified collaborator.
For any question, please contact Eric
Gaussier (eric.gaussier@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr)
or Manel Boumegoura (manel.boumegoura@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr).
