Join us

We are recruiting staff for this project and associated research projects over the next five years, including internships, research engineers, post-doctoral fellows, and PhD students. The team is located in the heart of the Quartier Latin in Paris, in the prestigious Ecole Normale Supérieure. We have access to in-house compute resources (15 GPUs) and national resources (Jean Zay supercomputer).

Interested in performing cutting-edge interdisciplinary research using pretrained, supervised, and self-supervised models on unique ecological datasets? Send your CV and a cover letter to laac.lscp@gmail.com. You can see examples of our recent work below. 

If you are interested in the team but your project/background is not a good fit for this grant, get in touch about potentially applying for other joint funding.
