Postdoc positions available at Université de Lorraine Lorraine Université d’Excellence (LUE) is an initiative carried by Université de Lorraine, in association with CNRS, Inria, Inserm, INRAE, the Nancy campus of AgroParisTech, and Georgia-Tech Europe, and funded by the France 2030 program of investments for the future. LUE’s ambition over the next 10 years is to assert itself as a major world-class research university, with a core positioning in systemic engineering for a healthy planet.
To achieve this ambition, a major lever is to develop a sustainable
interdisciplinary momentum that will enable the academic site to position
itself on major societal and socio-economic challenges, both in research and in
education. For that purpose, we will fund a few major interdisciplinary
programs and projects; they will propose global directions to answer the
following six major challenges:
• The evolution of materials issues in the 21st century (from resource
issues to those related to the circular economy, via metallurgy and new
materials)
• The ecological transition (One Earth)
• The energy transition
• The digital transition of industry and society
• The global challenges of health in the 21st century, including the
"One Health" systemic approach
• Transitions in society
At this moment, a number of major interdisciplinary programs are currently
emerging, led by groups of scientists from the Lorraine site, as well as
smaller and more narrowly targeted projects, known as "IMPACT projects ». This
call plans to recruit up to 10 international post-docs who can contribute to
one 12 open tracks.
One of the emerging topics in the broadest sense concerns NLP and the
Humanities. This includes the analysis of political activity, the evolution of
law, the ethical aspects of NLP and AI, language learning, and the analysis of
literary texts from the Bible to contemporary literature, sociological
analysis, health care. Research based on natural language corpora is encouraged.
The post-doctoral position should be for 24 to 30 months, and should bring a
new and original momentum to the site, complementing existing strengths and
enriching one of the existing emerging projects with highly original and
exciting research objectives.
The aim of this call is to welcome young researchers who can contribute to one
or other of the above projects in an original, and even unexpected, way in
relation to the current mapping of skills present on the Lorraine site. There
is therefore no predefinition of the host project, nor have the host projects
predefined the topics on which they would be willing to host a postdoc.
The selection panel will take the following factors into account:
• Scientific excellence of the applicant
• Originality and relevance of the proposed scientific project
• Contribution of the proposed project to one or several of the
existing or emerging projects.
• Compatibility of the candidate and his/her project with the site's
research structures – in balance
with the previous point, we still wish to recruit post-docs who fit naturally
into an adequate research environment. Candidates are not, however, asked to
pre-identify one single host research structure, although they are not
forbidden to mention any links or knowledge they may have of the site's
research groups.
Salary : from 2 271€ to 2 900€ (Gross) / month
Successful candidates will be granted operating credits in addition to their
salary. They may also be offered the opportunity to contribute to educational
modules linked to the interdisciplinary topic to which they are contributing.
