We are looking for candidates whose research relates to high dimensional models and network analysis, statistical machine learning, and data science in general.

The Chair of excellence in Data Science will have a strong international research focus, making the Chair-holder benefit from a reduced teaching load (namely, 75 hours/year), an internationally competitive salary and benefits package, and a significant research budget. The main objective is the production of impactful and high-quality academic publications, both fundamental and applied to management science, to help consolidate and develop the reputation and expertise of the existing research team at ESSEC. As part of her/his obligations, the Chair-holder must commit to target junior European Research Council (ERC) type or similar grants during the duration of the Chair.
To be considered, candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics or Statistics, Econometric theory with publications in statistics/data science journals, show evidence of excellence in research and in teaching (if any experience). Support to research is an important part of the ESSEC policy and faculty members enjoy an attractive incentive-based research environment. Rank of appointment
(assistant or associate) and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salaries are competitive at international level.
