Choose France – CNRS AI Rising Talents Programme for exceptionally talented early-career AI researchers
Posted in pictures, Travel, University life with tags academic position, AI, Choose France, CNRS, early career offer, France, machine learning, Paris Dauphine, research position, young researchers on October 29, 2021 by xi'an
The French national scientific research institute, CNRS, is launching a one-shot call for hiring early-career AI researchers on a 5 year 100% research position in any of the CNRS research units in France. Including ours in Paris Dauphine. The offer is quite generous in that the attached grant provides a full professor salary and support to hire postdocs and PhD students. Early career means two to seven years after PhD. The deadline is 30 November.
MCMSki IV, Jan. 6-8, 2014, Chamonix (news #11)

Now that the important deadline of October 15 for MCMSki IV is over,
First, thanks to the more that 160 participants who already registred! The audience is now larger than at any of the previous MCMSki meetings! (Obviously, from a statistical perspective, the comparison is somewhat unfair as running three parallel sessions instead of one single track session is bound to attract more participants, like the speakers themselves!) But it means a lot of people interacting with one another, sharing ideas and tricks at the coffee breaks. Fighting for restaurants and ski lifts. Exchanging stories and gossips at the poster session(s). Competing during the Richard Tweedie ski race. Sounds very exciting! And those who have not yet registered still have till mid December to do so (the only potential worry being a shortage of rooms available in town).
Second, 28 students and junior investigators have been awarded the young investigator travel support for some moderate amount of money toward travelling to Geneva and Chamonix. Thanks to ISBA and to SBSS (the Bayesian Statistical Science Section of the ASA) and to the BayesComp Section of ISBA for their financial support.
Third, let me repeat that poster presentations are not subject to a selection process and that anyone attending MCMSki IV should feel like presenting a poster at one of the two poster nights. There is still plenty of space and of opportunities for interactions and sound advices. Just send an abstract to bayesianstatistics@gmail.com ! See my special wordpress blog for the first deposits of abstracts.

Be sure to book your hotel or rental place early too as Chamonix is quite popular in January. (I had few choices left for my own rental, a few weeks ago..!)
