1 Professor position, LIFO/IUT45 IT department

Professor

IMPORTANT : Due to Covid19, the application deadline has been postponed to : APRIL 9th 2020, 4PM Paris Time

Teaching Profile :

Training courses concerned :
The candidate will have to join the IT department of the IUT. This department has three teaching programs: the IT DUT, the special DUT in one year and the professional bachelor degree web and mobile option. The second year of the DUT as well as the professional bachelor can be followed by apprenticeship. The candidate will be required to teach in at least two of the following areas:
- Architecture and system, networks: coding, circuits, computer operation, operating systems, etc.
- Algorithms and programming: Basic algorithms, data structure, objectoriented programming, etc.
- Databases: relational algebra, SQL, programming applications related to databases, UML modeling, etc.
- Web: web and mobile programming.

Teaching objectives and the need for supervision :
In addition to the teaching activities, the candidate must participate in the supervision of internships and educational projects. The applicant will also have to be involved in the professionalization of training. The candidate will also have to take on responsibilities related to the management of the department. He must therefore have a strong taste for teamwork.

Specific skills :
Given the current gaps, the candidate must have teaching skills in at least two of the following areas:
- Architecture, system and networks.
- BI.
- Object design and programming.
A successful experience in a university of technology would be a plus.

Recruitment date : september 1st 2020
Selection comittee

Research profile :

The person recruted will join the Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale d'Orléans (Orléans Fundamental Computer Science Laboratory, or LIFO, EA 4022). The LIFO is a joint lab between University of Orléans and INSA Centre Val de Loire. It has approximately 75 members, of which 45 are tenured faculty. The lab is located on two campuses : Orléans and Bourges. It is made up of five teams, the first four are located in Orléans, and the last in Bourges :

Constraints and Learning (CA),
Graphs, Algorithms and Models of Computation(GAMoC),
Languages, Models and Verification (LMV),
Parallel Programming, Distribution and Data Management (Pamda),
Systems and Data Security (SDS).

From the scientific point of view, three transversal research areas define the laboratory : (i) Big Data and HPC, (ii) Modelisation and Algorithmics, and (iii) safety and security.

LThe laboratory is a member of the Research Federation "Computer Science Val de Loire" (ICVL, FED 4279) along with the Tours Computer Science Laboratory (LIFAT, EA 6300). This federation regroups all the computer science researchers of the Centre Val de Loire region. For more details, please see : http://www.info.univ-tours.fr/ICVL/.

More details on the lab and the teams are available here : https://www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/

The position is open to candidates willing to integrate one of the following two teams : CA or GAMoC. Both teams are considered with equal priority.

A collaboration with other teams of the laboratory will be considered favourably.

CA Team :
The Constraints and Learning (CA) team is structured around 3 complementary axes : (i) Constraints, (ii) Machine Learning and Data Mining and (iii) Natural Language Processing.

The person recruited will join the axis on machine learning and data mining (supervised classification, unsupervised or semi-supervised classification, pattern mining, etc.), whatever the families of methods studies, on various data types (text data, temporal data, ...) or on the integration of expert knowledge. The research themes of the person recruited should be consistent with the teams themes, both from the theoretical and applicative points of view.

GAMoC Team :
The GAMoC team deals with algorithms, combinatorics, computability and complexity of discrete structures, like graphs, automata or tilings. The team has mainly two lines of research:

exact and paramaterized algorithms for solving NP-hard problems;
new models of computation and complexity.

The person recruited must propose an integration project in at least one of the team’s two research themes.

Keywords : graph algorithms, exact exponential-time algorithms, fixed parameterized algorithms, automata, new models of computation, calculability, complexity
