Permanent researcher positions at INRIA, Lille (France)

Research Positions at INRIA Futurs Lille, Mostrare Project

We search for young excellent researchers in one of the following areas:

   * XML database theory
   * machine learning from semi-structured documents

INRIA Futurs Lille is a new computer science institute in creating by
INRIA in close cooperation with the universities of Lille. This offers
excellent opportunities for permanent positions as full time researchers,
postdoc, doctoral, and master students.

Lille is the largest city of north of France, belonging to a metropolis of
a million inhabitants. By train it is located 60 minutes from Paris, 38
minutes from Bruxelles, and 100 minutes from London.

Mostrare <http://www.grappa.univ-lille3.fr/mostrare> is Lille's research
project in XML database theory and machine learning from semi-structured
documents. It combines methods from logics and automata with techniques
from grammatical inference and statistical learning. Currently, we are
seeking for excellent researchers that are interested in joining the
Mostrare project as a permanent full-time researcher as a member of INRIA
or CNRS.  The positions at CNRS have been opened recently, those of INRIA
will follow very soon.

holds 2 more positions for experienced young researchers (PhD thesis + 5
years or more), the CNRS adds 9 further for all of France. Furthermore,
there are numerous openings of positions for senior researchers both at
INRIAand CNRS.

We are particularly interested in candidates with one of the following two
profiles:

   * database theory, XML, logics, trees, automata
   * machine learning, statistical learning, kernel methods, grammatical
     inference, structured output

Other techniques relevant to information extraction are welcome too
(programming languages, natural language processing, etc). It is important
to prepare the application carefully as soon as possible, so that the
appropriateness of the research proposal for the Mostrare project becomes
clear for the selection committee.
