· computer engineering missions focused on full-stack development, in direct connection with the researchers involved and the IUT Computer Processing Center.

· and technical and functional referent missions for platforms intensively operated in hybrid and distance training by the IUT. This part of the missions is carried out in connection with the ICT department of the IUT and the teaching teams.

Main missions of the position oriented computer engineering

For this project, the IUT of Bayonne makes massive use of virtualization techniques, both for the deployment of its servers and for that of web or desktop applications operated by users (see Citrix and HyperV technologies). The IUT has developed and maintains a specific software infrastructure called VDI_LT that the engineer will exploit throughout his or her achievements. As part of its missions, the recruited person will contribute more specifically:

- To feed a distance learning platform with information collected on the behavior of learners who are coding computer applications with a programming language.

- To search and exploit this information to present, if necessary, to the student a relevant resource or activity previously registered in the distance learning platform operated by the student.

In this context, the proposed technical missions are as follows:

· On the back-office side, development of software bricks and other functional extensions that can be integrated into the infrastructure VDI_LT developed in-house, all in a highly industrialized framework set up by our team of engineers: analysis and specifications, coding, unit and integration tests.

· On the Front-Office side, development of Windows and Web applications exploiting the services offered by the VDI_LT infrastructure and coming for some to interface with third-party software bricks of the open-source world.

· On the back-office and front office side: version management, performance audit (scaling up for the 1000 students of the IUT), production operations in connection with the IT department of the IUT, corrective and preventive maintenance of the bricks deployed.

Other missions oriented pedagogical engineering

· Functional support for platforms operated in hybrid and remote training (including the Moodle platform) first-level technical support on these platforms and administration (php, Mysql, Node.js, tomcat/java), authentication management (SSO, SAML, LTI).

· According to the candidates, possible participation in the accompaniment and technical training of teachers in order to facilitate their use of the available platforms and make them more autonomous on a daily basis in their pedagogical activities supported by technology.

Dear all, We have an open research engineer position on virtual reality for rehabilitation movements assessment, at IRIMAS Institute / Université Haute-Alsace.

Title: Virtual Reality Application for Rehabilitation

Context: In the context of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson's), a field of research focusing on physical rehabilitation programs has recently developed. Rehabilitation involves the repetition of certain movements, most often using equipment. Recently, physical rehabilitation programs have integrated tools allowing visual feedback to the patient on the movements he is performing. Among these tools are video screens, robotic interfaces and virtual reality (VR). VR makes it possible to imitate the physical presence of a user, via a 3D avatar, in a real or imaginary world allowing them to evolve in a secure environment. In this context, the REVEIL project (Rehabilitation via a Virtual and Interactive Environment at home) has been proposed to assess the use of a VR application included in a rehabilitation protocol, in addition to the sessions offered by the care center, the Rehabilitation Center of Mulhouse (CRM: https://www.arfp.asso.fr).

Missions: In this context, the recruited person will be mainly involved in the development of the VR application. In particular, she/he will work on:

- The clarification and the definition of the specifications in collaboration with researchers and therapists

- The development of the VR application prototype allowing users to evolve within a virtual environment while exercising

- The integration of the interactive part including human motion analysis for assessing exercises performed by patients. For that, recent pose estimation algorithms like BlazePose (https://google.github.io/mediapipe/solutions/pose.html) will be employed

- The setup of first trials in a real-world context in the CRM to validate the feasibility

Prerequisites: Applicants must have a Master Degree or Engineering Degree in Computer Science and demonstrate interest/experience in the field of virtual reality. We are looking for a highly autonomous profile with good programming skills (especially in C# and Python). A first experience in virtual reality with Unity 3D and/or human motion analysis would be very welcome.

Working conditions: - Duration: 13 months

- Starting date: As soon as possible

- Gross salary: 2300 €/month

- Location: Université de Haute-Alsace, Mulhouse

Contact: Please contact Maxime Devanne ([email protected]) and Géraldine Escriva-Boulley ([email protected] ) for more information about this position or for application.

Application deadline: March 31st

Context* The world of financial services has long been one of the forerunners of digital innovation through the computerization of its processes, tools and services. The recent period has seen the emergence of a number of new technologies that are changing practices, including Blockchain technology, which has the potential to completely reshape financial services in the world of corporate and investment banking (e.g. market issuance, financing, risk management and hedging activities).

*Thesis topic* In this context, BNP Paribas CIB in collaboration with Paris-Dauphine University is exploring the opportunities and impacts of tokenization related to Blockchain technology. Some expertise has already been acquired based on concrete developments, taking into account technological, legal and regulatory aspects. However, there is still a large field of uncertainties related to this technology, and in particular the interoperability between the different protocols. At this stage, it is clear that technological consolidation has not taken place, and probably will not take place for several years, and in some areas only. For example, the tokenization of "cash" (via central players for example) and the tokenization of financial securities will probably be on these different technological bases. In the same way, the management of public spaces (e.g. Ethereum) and private spaces will be instrumental in the ability to manage financial value in this new world.

The work will therefore focus mainly on technological interoperability, whether via the various languages of smart contracts, cryptography techniques, the management of "incentives" of an ecosystem, tokenomics etc. in order to ensure the digital uniqueness from one universe to another in a secure and irrefutable way.

The orientations given to the thesis can be chosen through the prism of research interests and their scientifically innovative character, the candidate's appetites, via a discussion with the CIFRE supervisor and the thesis director.

*Skills required* You are a graduate of a bac + 5 and wish to move towards a PhD in Computer Science. You also have an appetite for new technologies and digital levers. You are fluent in French and English and you are proficient in a Java-type development language. Knowledge of the basics of cryptography, Blockchain technologies (layer 1 and/or 2) as well as the most common smart contract languages (e.g. Solidity for Ethereum/Polygon, SmartPy for Tezos, DAML, Hyperledger Fabric...), interoperability technologies such as Cosmos or Polkadot are a plus.

Your adaptability and ability to collaborate are essential assets. Add to this your ability to communicate, your ability to synthesize as well as your rigor to finish convincing us.

Finally, we attach particular importance to ensuring that our future employees act on a daily basis with ethical and professional responsibility.

In a changing world, diversity, equity and inclusion are key values for team well-being and performance. At BNP Paribas, we want to welcome and retain all talents without distinction: this is how we will build, together, the innovative, responsible and sustainable finance of tomorrow.

At any time during the recruitment process, the information on your CV and your identification data may be verified by an external service provider mandated by BNP Paribas.

*Additional information for recruitment* - Recruitment date: from September 2022

- Remuneration: competitive at the level of a BNP consultant.

- Funding: CIFRE BNP Paribas CIB

- Environnement thesis scholarship, a BNP team well established in research and development that includes a dozen Cifre doctoral students.

- Academic laboratory: LAMSADE, Paris Dauphine University - PSL

*Application* Interested persons are invited to send their CV, statements from the last three years (and this year if applicable), as well as the cover letter to Daniela Grigori (daniela.grigori@lamsade. dauphine.fr) and Khalid Belhajjame ([email protected])

2-years Postdoctoral Research position at MISTEA INRAE Montpellier (https://www.inrae.fr/en/centres/occitanie-montpellier) in the context of the ANR projet DACE-DL

Areas: Semantic Web, Linked Data, Data linking

Qualifications: PhD in the domain of Semantic Web

Contact & Collaboration: Danai Symeonidou, CR INRAE Montpellier, [email protected]

Clement Jonquet, CR (HDR) INRAE Montpellier, [email protected]

Institut: INRAE is a pioneer in France in terms of data sharing and Open Science commitment. The MathNum research department gathers around 200 scientists in mathematics and digital technologies in 13 research units in France. MISTEA is a joint research unit of INRAE and Montpellier Institut Agro engineering school with activities in the development of mathematical, statistical and informatics methods dedicated to analysis and decision support for agronomy and environment. The team is also recognized for its expertise in knowledge engineering and ontology-based scientific data management and information systems.

Project context: Data linking is the scientific challenge of automatically establishing typed links between the entities of two or more structured datasets. A variety of complex data linking systems exists, evaluated on public benchmarks [1,2,3]. While they have allowed for the generation of vast amounts of linked data in the context of various dedicated projects, data generic systems often have limited applicability in many real-world scenarios, where data are highly heterogeneous and domain-specific. The ANR project DACE-DL (2022-2024) targets a paradigm shift in the data linking field with a data-centric bottom-up methodology relying on machine learning and representation learning models. We hypothesize there exists a finite number of identifiable and generalisable linking problem types (LPTs), that we need to categorize and analyse to provide better linking results.

Topic: The main goal is to identify and provide a categorisation/taxonomy of the different linking problem types based on an in-depth analysis of the linked datasets provided by the project and beyond. The first objective is to provide an in-depth analysis of the linked data available along with an exhaustive study of the state-of-the-art in the field of data linking. The postdoctoral researcher will propose a finite number of generalisable linking problem types, organised in a taxonomy encoded with OWL or SKOS, where the relations and inherent structure of the LPTs will be made explicit to both human and machine. Additionally, a (semi-)automatic taxonomy building methodology that will be easily reproducible and extensible in the future for other pairs of datasets should be built. The goal is to answer questions such as: are certain LPTs or groups of LPTs (e.g. siblings at a given level of the taxonomy) specific to a domain, language or a community? Are certain LPTs inherent to specific types of data? Once a clear and unambiguous taxonomy of LPTs is produced, various datasets will be manually annotated. These annotations on existing pairs of datasets will be used to learn, using machine learning strategies, features for the automatic categorization of other datasets.

Starting period: Immediately

Duration: 24 months

Location: INRAE Centre Occitanie-Montpellier, MISTEA, 2 Place Pierre Viala, 34000 Montpellier Salary: Between 2200€ and 2700€ gross monthly depending on qualifications and situation.
