Description
Organisation/Company: Université Côte d Azur
Research Field: Mathematics › Computational mathematics
Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2) Established
Researcher (R3)
Application Deadline: 31/05/2022 23:00 - Europe/Athens
Location: France › Nice
Type Of Contract: Temporary
Job Status: Full-time
Hours Per Week: 35
Offer Starting Date: 01/09/2022
Eu Research Framework Programme: HE / ERC
LOCATION
Université Côte d'Azur is located on the French Riviera. It is one of the ten
French universities distinguished by a label of excellence (IDEX). It is
also linked to other international research institutes: INRIA Sophia-
Antipolis, which is a computer science institute, and the 3IA Côte d'Azur,
which is an artificial intelligence institute.
The Dieudonné Mathematics Laboratory is located on the Valrose campus of the
Université Côté d'Azur, in the center of Nice. The research activity covers a
broad spectrum of topics in mathematics, including a strong team in
probability and statistics.
The successful candidate will work at Dieudonné Mathematics Laboratory.
SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION
The research engineer will work in the framework of the ERC AdG project ELISA
(Exploration for Large Interacting Systems of Agents), directed by Professor
François Delarue. This ERC project deals with mathematical theories and
numerical tools for mean field models, which are used to describe the
statistical state of a population. This includes mean-field models for which
the population state is itself random. A key objective is to show that
randomization can enable a form of exploration, with theoretical and numerical
advantages and benefits in statistical learning. Applications include mean-
field models of rational agents, such as mean-field control problems or mean-
field games.
The research engineer will assist the other members of the project (principal
investigator, invited researchers, post-doc researchers, PhD students) in the
development of numerical methods and learning algorithms. She/he will develop
related codes towards successful and competitive programs. She/he will also
run and supervise numerical experiments. She/he will contribute to the writing
of the numerical and statistical works of the project.
POSITION
This is a full-time position, for 5 years at most. Candidates should have a
PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, scientific computing or statistical
learning. They should be proficient users of scientific languages like C/C++,
Python, TensorFlow, R. They should have demonstrated their ability to design
and implement numerical or learning methods in relation with a mathematical or
statistical project. If necessary, they should agree to develop their
knowledge in statistical learning methods.
Candidates are also expected to have a sufficiently strong background in
mathematics. Even though the research engineer will not be asked to work on
the most theoretical part of the project, she/he will be able to interact with
the other members of the team.
Université Côte d'Azur offers certain facilities. In particular, new
researchers can benefit from a temporary accommodation of 1 to 3 months at the
Faculty Club of Nice.
The position will be open from September 1st 2022.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Candidates may contact François Delarue (francois.delarue@univ-cotedazur.fr)
for any questions. Applications should include: a letter of motivation,
curriculum vitae, transcripts of graduate degrees, PhD viva reports (if
available), PhD diploma and at least two reference letters.
Pre-selected candidates will be interviewed online.
Applications are open till May 31st 2022.
Selection process
Pre-selected candidates will be interviewed online.
Applications are open till May 31st 2022.
Additional comments
