Research Engineer in Software Engineering for the ANR AdaptiveMLOps project (M/F)

IMT Mines Alès is hiring a Research Engineer in Software Engineering for the ANR AdaptiveMLOps project. The school, founded in 1843, currently has 1,400 students, including 250 foreign students, and 380 staff members. The position is open to both men and women, as indicated by the M/F designation in the title. The ANR AdaptiveMLOps project is funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR). It focuses on adapting machine learning operations, or MLOps, to handle changing conditions and evolving data. As a research engineer, you would work at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning, building the tools and infrastructure that make adaptive AI systems possible. This is a hands-on technical role, not a purely academic one. You would design, implement, and test software systems, then document your work for both the research community and practical use. IMT Mines Alès is part of the Institut Mines-Télécom, one of France's largest public groups of engineering and management schools. The institution operates three high-level scientific and technological research and teaching centers. These focus on materials and civil engineering (C2MA), the environment and risks, and other related fields. The school's research culture emphasizes practical applications, so your work on this project would likely connect to real industrial and environmental challenges. The school is located in Alès, a town in southern France's Occitanie region, near the Cévennes mountains. The area has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The cost of living is noticeably lower than in Paris or Lyon, and the region is known for its outdoor activities, including hiking and climbing. As an international applicant, you would need a valid work visa or residence permit to take up the position, and the school can typically assist with the administrative process.
