Eligibility and criteria
Candidates must have defended their thesis within the last 3 years at the time of hiring (hiring will take place no earlier than February 2023).
Priority will be given to interdisciplinary projects highlighting concrete ways of interacting or bringing about interactions (working groups,...). The scientific quality of the project will also be an important criterion.
Applicants who have completed their thesis under the direction or co-direction of an IRMIA++ researcher are not eligible.
Application and selection
The selection of the candidates is made in 2 consecutive phases:
Phase 1 - Application file
The candidate must send a scientific file in English by e-mail, to the address iti-irmiapp[at]unistra.fr before November 30, 2022. This file of maximum 4 pages (excluding annexes) must be provided in pdf format and must contain the following elements:
- CV and contact information of the candidate
- Laboratory, team and referees envisaged - At least one of the referees must be a member of the ITI IRMIA++
- Presentation of the thesis work and project of scientific integration in the host team
At the same time, one ITI IRMIA++ member supervising the project must also send by email to iti-irmiapp[at]unistra.fr before November 30, 2022 his/her contact information, CV and a letter of support describing the scientific project, its stakes and its scientific context. The project may be co-written with the candidate.
In appendix, the candidates can if they wish add the following elements (non exhaustive list):
- Bibliography
- Letters of recommendation
The applications received will be reviewed by the IRMIA++ ITI scientific expert committee in mid-December 2022.
Only applications that include explicit support from at least one IRMIA++ ITI member will be considered.
Phase 2 - Individual Interviews
The scientific committee will establish a list of candidates to be interviewed from the applications received. These candidates will be contacted to proceed to individual interviews with an ad-hoc interdisciplinary committee, made up of researchers from the 3 ITI disciplines (mathematics, computer science and astrophysics). The interview will last 20 minutes per candidate.
Candidates will be invited to interviews on December 13, 2022, for interviews between January 9 and 13, 2023 by videoconference.
Successful candidates (on the main list and on the complementary list) will be notified at the end of January 2023 of the decision concerning their application.
