## Research subject
within the framework of the research project on NLP for insect
monitoring in plant health. The central aim of the PhD project is to
develop original approaches for the reliability of textual information,
by integrating linguistic dimensions and knowledge graphs (NLP, language
models), and dynamic dimensions (time series). The quality and relevance
of the extracted information will be derived from the collected
documents along time and from the existing knowledge base.
For plant health and risk management, the biological interaction between
insect vectors, pathogens, and host plants is of primary interest for
anticipating contamination and reducing pesticide use.
You will be affiliated with the Computer Science Graduate School at
Paris-Saclay University. You will be employed by INRAE.
## Requirements
A successful candidate will have an MSc or equivalent in Artificial
Intelligence.
*
Proven experience with applying natural language processing.
*
Interest in learning about biology or bioinformatics.
*
High level of academic English or French, both written and spoken;
*
Good programming skills in Python or Java (and preferably experience
with deep learning tools)
*
Capacity to work as part of a team in a multidisciplinary framework.
*
Experiences of applied research to Life Science is an asset.
## Offer
We offer a motivating research environment with many opportunities for
in-house, national and international collaborations and access to
computing GPU resources and state-of-the-art research equipment. The
gross salary per month for the three-year contract is 2 100 (in 2024) to
2300 (in 2026) including the social security package (healthcare,
pensions, unemployment benefits).
## Start date: October 2024
