Contexte :
The successful candidate will join the research axis MAAD (Models and Algorithms for Aided-Decision) of the LIMOS laboratory (UMR CNRS 6158, https://limos.fr), in Clermont-Ferrand, France and will work within the
context of a large, recently funded project on “Sustainable agroecosystems in a context of global change” (“challenge 1” of I-Site Cap 20-25)( https://cap2025.fr/research/). The MAAD group has a strong research
orientation in the fields of combinatorial optimization, mathematical programming, graphs and lattices theory. There is also a close cooperation with other groups at LIMOS.

The available position is for a role as a contracted research-professor, with a teaching aspect reduced to 64 tutorial hours for the first three years.
This is a fixed-term contract for an initial period of three years and can be renewed for two years after an evaluation. After these five years of probation, and in the event of a positive evaluation, an open-ended contract as a research professor will be offered. In addition, UCA is committed to opening a university professor post that would allow the successful applicant to be given tenure in a statutory post.
Remuneration will be approximately €37,000 gross per year.

Sujet :
We seek for candidates with strong theoretical background as well as an expertise in practical applications.
The target applications areas are related to the delivrable 8 of the « Challenge 1: Sustainable agroecosystems in a context of global change »: design decision-making tools and models for small to large-scale sustainable agroecosystems (plot, farm, sector, territory); ecosystems of agricultural areas; food systems at the territorial level.
The candidate is expected to develop collaborations with other research groups in the I-Site CAP2025 initiative and initiate projects at the national and international levels.

The applicant must be able to teach mathematical programming and computer science in English from first year and in French after three years. The teaching load will be 64 hours per year during the three first years,
and 96 hours per year during the two following years. The teaching will be principally within the fields of undergraduate and master levels in “Applied mathematics and computer science”.

Profil du candidat :
The Call is open to outstanding candidates in the field of mathematical programming and discrete mathematics. Additional expertise related to robust, stochastic optimisation and/or approximation algorithms will be appreciated.

Formation et compétences requises :
– have a doctorate or an equivalent qualification
– have completed the doctorate or post-doctorate abroad
