Ecole Centrale Paris recrute un professeur chargé de Business Objects Business Intelligence
Ecole Centrale Paris
Laboratoire de Mathématiques Appliquées aux Systèmes
Grande Voie des Vignes
92295 Châtenay-Malabry
France
Context :
The Applied Mathematics and Systems Laboratory at Ecole Centrale Paris develops research initiatives in the area of modeling, simulation and optimization of complex systems. This work is organized along three major axes :
Scientific Engineering and visualization ;
Information, data and image processing ;
Information Systems engineering.
In the scope of the latter axis, an important agreement has been recently achieved with the company Business Objects, resulting into the creation of an industrial chair in the area of Business Intelligence, generally defined as the set of tools and techniques that help knowledge workers interact with their organization’s information and optimize their decisions. The ultimate goal behind this agreement is to help identify the specific academic and research issues. The industrial chair is established along the four following themes that underly Business Intelligence :
Information System Architecture
Process and Data modeling
Algorithms and information processing
Visualization and man-machine interfaces.
The industrial chair must enable the implementation of a research project led by two Full Professors and one Assistant Professor.
Research Duties :
From a scientific perspective, the Professor will be responsible for driving all research initiatives around the axes defined for the chair. This includes driving graduate students (MSc and PhD level) and participating in the scientific promotion of the work. His/her personal contribution and expertise will mainly tackle the areas of Process and Data Modeling on the one hand, and Algorithms and Information Modeling on the other hand. Regarding the first area (Process and Data Modeling), the research will focus on the problem of adapting and extending the traditional concepts and tools used for meta-modeling, conceptual modeling, data modeling and process modeling (the MOF, UML, ER, Ontologies ; BPML, etc…) so as to capture the business semantics of a corporation’s data, business rules and processes, thus providing the ability to model the business of complex organizations in a unified, consistent and semantically rich manner.
In relationship to the second area (Algorithms and Information Processing), the research will tackle semantic, computational and performance-related issues around data querying and processing. It will also explore automated/data-based learning, and the potential use of collective intelligence.
In the frame of his/her position, he/she will have to actively participate in the initiation and implementation of collaborative projects with industrial stakeholders, both on a national, European and worldwide scale.
Teaching Duties :
The Professor will drive or participate in the different classes in his/her area of competence for the three years of scholarship in the school, and more specifically to the 3rd-year classes in the Advanced Systems, Information Technologies and Applied Mathematics specialization courses. He/She will also monitor projects undertaken by 1st, 2nd and 3rd-year students.
Skills :
PhD required. The candidate will need to provide a proven track record of teaching and supervising in the area of Information Systems and Databases, as well as widely-recognized research achievements in the domain.
He/she will demonstrate significant experience as a leader of research projects, as well as in industrial partnerships.
His/her relational skills, ability to take initiatives and teamwork ability are critical criteria.
International experience is a plus. Fluent written and spoken English is a requisite.
