Application deadline: March 15, 2023

Starting: September 1st 2023

The Department of Computer Science of the École Polytechnique (DIX) is willing to recruit two Part-Time Professors in charge of teaching (professeur chargé de cours*), one at 25% (annual teaching load: 48h) and the other one at 50% (annual teaching load: 96h).

The candidate should hold a PhD in Computer Science, have a habilitation degree to advise research or an equivalent level, and show great abilities in teaching and research. She or he should be able to contribute to core computer science courses, as well as to specialized courses closer to her/his research domain, at all levels of DIX curriculums (Bachelor, Cycle Ingénieur Polytechnicien, Master, Master of Science and Technology), and by integrating existing teaching teams. In particular, the teaching project, part of the application, should detail the possible contributions to the department, show the ability of the candidate to work in teams and her/his motivation for teaching. Specific pedagogical proposals, showing for instance the candidate’s ability to contribute to flipped classrooms and/or to develop project-based teaching and evaluation, are much welcome, as well as the ability to adapt to hybrid teaching modalities during a pandemic. Being fluent in French is a plus, but not mandatory.

Candidates will be evaluated based on their educational skills, their interest in teaching at École Polytechnique, and their availability for participating to the educational and, if possible, research activities of the department. Prior knowledge of the existing course offer, and the organization of teaching will be appreciated.

Application packages must include the following documents: CV, research and teaching statements, and 3 reference letters. Applications must be submitted on line through the École Polytechnique website by March 15, 2023, and interviews will be planned for the first weeks of May.

Candidates are encouraged to contact the department prior to the application, to discuss and refine their teaching project:

• Samuel Mimram (Nous contacter), Président du DIX,
• Damien Rohmer (Nous contacter), Vice-Président enseignement du DIX.

(*) Part-time assistant professors “in charge of teaching” (“chargés d’enseignement” or ChE) are young researchers or professors willing to combine their main job in public or private institutes/companies with a part-time teaching position at École Polytechnique. Holding a qualification from the CNU is not required. A more detailed description is available on our website.
