IMT ATLANTIQUE is recruiting an Associate Professor with tenure in Industrial Engineering https://www.imt-atlantique.fr
IMT Atlantique (École Nationale Supérieure Mines-Télécom Atlantique Bretagne Pays de la Loire) is an elite Graduate school of engineering and International research center. Resulting from the recent merger on 1 January 2017 of Télécom-Bretagne and Mines-Nantes, it is a school of the National Institute of Science and Technology IMT “Institute Mines-Télécom” (the leading group of top level schools in France for study and research in engineering and management: includes 12 engineering and 1 business schools located throughout France).
Based on 3 different campuses (Brest, Rennes and Nantes), IMT Atlantique aims to combine energy and digital technology to transform society and industry through education, research and innovation in order to become an international reference in this area.
Each year, IMT Atlantique guides approximately 2.300 students in engineering, Masters of Science and Ph.D. programs. Its research activities, at the crossroads of applied and fundamental research, are led by 290 researchers which produce over 1000 publications each year and 18M € of funded research and development projects. Its courses are based on cutting-edge research performed in 6 joint with CNRS (National Center of Scientific Research), University of Nantes and Centrale Nantes, research laboratories: GEPEA, IRISA, LATIM, Lab-STICC, LS2N and SUBATECH.
The Department of Automation, Production and Computer Sciences (DAPI: Département Automatique, Productique et Informatique) of IMT Atlantique is located on the Nantes Campus. The department employs one hundred and ten people, forty of which are Faculty members. The research topics of DAPI include Automatic Control, Robotics, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematical Decision Making, and Software Engineering. The members of DAPI are also members of the LS2N CNRS research laboratory (https://ls2n.fr/) recently created from the merging of the former IRCCyN and LINA laboratories.
The candidate will be integrated into the Optimization and Decision Aid group of DAPI and the Logistics and Production System (SLP) Team of LS2N. The research in SLP focuses on analyzing, modeling and solving decision making problems for design and management of production systems and logistics.
The candidate will be asked to focus his research on domains related to industrial engineering approaches for the Factories of the Future (FoF) initiative of the European Union Framework Program for Research and Innovation. Collaboration with the other IMT Atlantique/LS2N teams will be encouraged.
The candidate will teach in the industrial engineering curriculum of IMT Atlantique, in particular the IMT Atlantique engineering programme and/or the MOST International Master of Science. (Management and Optimization of Supply Chains and Transport).
Administrative status: Maître assistant des Mines et des Télécom, fonctionnaire du Ministère de l’Economie et des Finances (Associate Professor tenured position).
Missions: The candidate will participate in education, academic and collaborative research objectives. He/she will be actively involved in local, national and international partnerships of DAPI and LS2N. He/she will be asked to take administrative responsibilities in teaching programs, research projects or institutional endeavors.
