Connectionists: Open permanent position - Associate Professor in ML - Telecom ParisTech

[Laurence Likforman]

Hi,
The group dedicated to Research in Machine Learning, Statistics & Signal
Processing (the research group S2A), within the Image, Data & Signal
department (the IDS Dpt.) and the Laboratoire Traitement et Communication
de l'Information (LTCI) is recruiting an Associate Professor in
Machine-Learning.

*Research:*

The research activities will rely on the team expertise, which covers both
theoretical and methodological works in Machine Learning, at the interface
of computational/mathematical statistics, stochastic modelling, time-series
analysis, signal processing and optimization.

Research results will be published in leading journals and conferences.
Activities in scientific bodies, organization of special sessions,
workshops as well as involvements in committees of scientific conferences
will contribute to the visibility.

The recruit is expected to ontribute to scientific projects with industrial
partners, around very challenging topics such as Predictive Maintenance,
involving the development of novel methods in various domains (i.e.
transfer learning, reinforcement learning, structured learning,
machine-learning with time-series, reliable machine-learning). This may be
possibly done by participating to industrial chair programs, bilateral
contracts, proposals to national and international research project calls
or by co-supervising PhD theses (including CIFRE theses, involving
industrial partners).

*Teaching: *

In the fields of Machine learning, teaching at Telecom ParisTech mainly
occurs at the level of bachelor or master courses (e.g. probability,
statistics, optimization), as well as in specialized training courses (e.g.
machine learning, nonparametric statistics). The master courses also
include courses in masters of the University Paris-Saclay. The members of
the S2A group are also involved in in a professional master of Telecom
ParisTech fully dedicated to Big Data (“Management and Analysis of Big
Data”) and in a novel certificate « Data Scientist »: they are in charge
of the statistics and machine-learning courses. The candidate will
participate to these teaching activities.

*Skills: *

• Education : PhD or equivalent
• An international postdoctoral experience is welcome but not
mandatory
• English: fluent; French: good or the candidate should be willing
to improve it

*Knowledge and experience required: *

• Research publications in Machine Learning
• Teaching experience at the university level


*Other Qualities and skills: *

• Capacity to work in a team and develop good relationships with
colleagues and peers
• Excellent writing and pedagogical skills


*Additional information:*

In the context of the Paris Saclay University, activities in stochastic
modeling and statistical data processing at the S2A group are part of the
Labex Hadamard (Mathematics and Applied Mathematics) and of the Labex
DigiCosme (Digital worlds: distributed data, programs and architectures).

*The position: *

• Permanent position
• Place of work: Paris until 2019, and then Palaiseau (Paris outskirt)
