Inria in a nutshell

Inria is France's only public research body fully dedicated to computational sciences. It hosts more than 1,000 young researchers each year throughout France, with a head office in Rocquencourt, near Paris.

Working at the crossroads of computer sciences and mathematics, over the last 40 years Inria's researchers have been developing the scientific foundations for a new field of learning: computational sciences. When combined with other scientific disciplines, computational sciences can be used to offer new concepts, languages, methods and teaching aids which open up new avenues for exploration and understanding of complex phenomena.

The institute's 210 teams, the majority of which are joint teams working with other major French or international research bodies, are comprised of around twenty researchers working on a shared project for a period of four to eight years. These project teams combine fundamental and applied research in an innovative blend to produce compelling and relevant results.

Fields of research

Inria is organized around five main fields of research, covered by 210 research teams. More than 3,100 Inria scientists are working every day on meeting the challenges posed by information and communication science and technology (ICST) in these five major areas:

• Applied Mathematics, Computation and Simulation
• Algorithmics, Programming, Software and Architecture
• Networks, Systems and Services, Distributed Computing
• Perception, Cognition, Interaction
• Computational Sciences for Biology, Medicine and the Environment

Job description

Joining Inria means grasping the opportunity to carry out a professional project in line with your own personal aspirations, within a high-quality study and working environment. While working on his/her thesis, each Inria PhD student acquires and develops transferable knowledge that is recognized within academic and industrial circles. As well as being the final stage of their university studies, the PhD also represents the first stage of their professional career. This is why Inria offers PhD students a central role by placing them at the very heart of the research dynamic, within research teams and in direct contact with industrial partners.

Requirements

What we look for most of all in new recruits is an ability to adapt quickly to new contexts, which are always highly technical and resolutely cosmopolitan. You must hold a master's in computer science, control engineering, mathematics, scientific computation or an equivalent diploma. Candidates must apply to a geographic location different from the one where they obtained their master's degree (mobility requirement). Priority will be given to topics within the institute's priority themes. Nationality is not taken into consideration. You must submit one application per subject proposed by the host research center.

Conditions of employment

Inria centers provide outstanding scientific environments and excellent working conditions. Inria offers competitive salaries and social benefit programs, including highly regarded medical coverage, schooling and family compensations. Visa and work permits for the applicant and his/her spouse will be provided.
