The CNRS is opening an attractive position in Machine Learning for
Natural Language Processing.

This is a "tenure track" position started this year in France: a unique
position called "Chaire Professeur Junior", with a fast and direct track
to tenured, Senior CNRS Researcher (Directeur ou Directrice de
Recherche) after a three to a six-year contract.

The general objective is to consolidate French laboratories of
excellence in NLP (LISN, LIG, LORIA) on particularly strategic aspects
or sovereign issues: automatic processing of the French language
(written/oral), specific applic ation domains with few learning
resources or poorly covered by generic models (for instance, in the
areas of securi ty, defense, or health), as well as in connection with
educational applications/platforms and assistance to people with
disabilities. This position implies a reduced teaching load of 42 hours
a year for the contract duration. Afterward, the role of Senior CNRS
Researcher does not mean any mandatory teaching.

The tenure track includes a financial environment of 300,000 € for the
project (200,000 € from ANR plus one Ph.D. t hesis).

Deadline for submitting the application: 31/08/2022
Expected date of employment: 01/12/2022
