SUPMICROTECH (École Nationale Supérieure de Mécanique et des Microtechniques) and the Dept of Automation and Robotics, FEMTO-ST Institute in Besançon, France are advertising an exciting new faculty position on the topic of Scientific machine learning (machine learning for the data-driven modeling of complex dynamical systems), with possible application (but not limited) to the scope of the Neuro research group.
The position is a junior professorship (“chaire de professeur junior”), a new type of position intended as a priviledged fast-track to a Full Professorship position (“professeur des universités”). It consists of an initial fixed-term period leading (3-5 years depending on experience) leading, upon successful review, to direct promotion at the rank of Full Professor. This is a primarily research-oriented position, with a reduced teaching load of 64 hours (96 HETD) per year (equivalent to two one-semester courses). Upon successful review at the end of the tenure period, the position will be turned into a permanent/tenured full professor position in the French university system with the standard teaching load of 128 hours (192 HETD, or four one-semester courses) per year. The initial monthly gross salary will be around 3500 Euros (depending on experience), and include a generous 320k€ research startup package (tentatively: funding for 2 PhD students and one postdoc).
We anticipate that the position will be opened for applications in May 2025, with a start date in the 2025-2026 academic year (Sept. 2025). Before submitting their application, we strongly encourage applicants to make contact with the FEMTO AS2M and SUPMICROTECH research teams in order to adapt their research and teaching statements to the strategic directions of the two institutions
