The Institut de Physique Theorique (IPhT) invites applications for a junior-level permanent position, opened for researchers working on foundational and theoretical-physics aspects of AI in a broad sense. This includes the study of AI through theoretical physics and statistical physics in particular, as well as AI developments applied to theoretical physics.

Applications (including a cover letter, a CV, a research statement and a list of publications) and three reference letters should be sent through Academic Jobs Online.

The position is roughly equivalent to a tenured assistant professorship with no teaching obligations. The IPhT is a Research Institute of CEA and CNRS, and is associated to the Université Paris-Saclay. IPhT is a multidisciplinary institute, with a strong expertise in a wide range of topics in theoretical physics. It is located in the south of Paris, a rich scientific environment. CEA and the broader Paris-Saclay area also count many other institutes working on related physics aspects, both theoretical and experimental. More details can be found at https://www.ipht.fr/en.
