Dear all, The Institut Polytechnique de Paris (more precisely its telecommunication "Grande École", Télécom Paris) is recruiting a Maître de conférences (a position equivalent to Assistant/Associate Professor) working at the intersection of computational sociology and sociology of work. The successful candidate will join the Department of Economic and Social Sciences and become a member of the Interdisciplinary Institute on Innovation (i3), a joint research unit of the CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research). This is also where my own research team, DiPLab (Digital Platform Labor), is based.
The Institut Polytechnique de Paris stands among France's most prestigious public research universities. Its remarkable legacy includes five Nobel Prize winners and two Fields medalists. Within it, Télécom Paris ranks among the top 5 engineering schools in France. Its place in history was secured when the term 'telecommunications' was first coined at the school in 1904. Télécom Paris's mission is to design, innovate, and develop digital technologies and solutions that benefit society and the environment. Located on the Palaiseau campus alongside other Grandes Écoles, its human-scale and inclusive environment maintains a strong international presence while fostering close ties with industry through an incubator in Paris at the heart of the French ecosystem. The Department of Economic and Social Sciences has been at the heart of Télécom Paris for forty years, championing the integration of social sciences into engineering education. Within the department, sociology has contributed to building the school's national and international reputation in social sciences. We are now looking to align the department's sociological work with emerging themes in the educational and scientific community. The position we are offering combines expertise in sociology of work with computational social sciences, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence. The successful candidate will contribute to both research and teaching missions. Teaching responsibilities will include courses in digital sociology, sociology of work, AI sociology, and computational social sciences within both Télécom Paris and Institut Polytechnique de Paris engineering programs. We expect candidates to hold a doctorate in sociology or computer science. We also welcome applications from candidates with doctorates in related disciplines (economics, philosophy, mathematics, information & communication, media studies, law, or anthropology) or relevant specializations (human-computer interaction, computational social sciences, statistical learning, or data science). Please read the presentation attached and before applying, be sure to contact me (Antonio Casilli) and my colleague Dr. Tiphaine Viard (<firstname.lastname>@telecom-paris.fr). Final applications must be submitted before 02/17/2025 at: https://institutminestelecom.recruitee.com/l/en/o/assistantassociate-professor-of-computational-sociology-of-work-cdi Best regards, Antonio -- Antonio A.
