Applications are invited within the contract for a research fellow.
Marseille urban area
Marseille is the second city in France (800 000 people) and the third urban area (1 200 000 people). It is the first seaport on the Mediterranean sea. Marseille is one of the first scientific centers in France (3500 researchers, 45000 students, 3 universities, 8 engineering schools).
The main industrial activities ares : food - petroleum, oil refinery and petro-chemical (Shell in Berre-l'Étang and CFR in La Mède) - iron and steel (Sollac or Ugifos in Fos - Aluminium Pechiney in Gardanne) - aeronautics (Eurocopter in Marignane) - offshore (Comex in Marseille) - ship building (Constructions industrielles de la Méditerranée de La Seyne Sur Mer); but also electronics (Gemplus in Gémenos) and software engineering (Aix-les-Miles). Many national research institutes are located in this area : Centre d'Étude Nucléaire de Cadarache (CEA) -
CNRS - INSERM - INRETS - INRIA etc.
The LATP probability groups
Marseille urban area counts 3 universities. The LATP (Laboratory of Analysis, Topology and Probability) is a UMR unit group (CNRS/Université d'Aix-Marseille 1) located in the CMI (Center for mathematics and computer sciences) on the Château-Gombert area [~85 companies, 2200 students, 350 researchers/teachers].
The
LATP counts two groups concerned by stochastic analysis and its applications.
  • Probability Group : with 2 professors (Enrique Andjel, Etienne Pardoux), 4 ``maîtres de conférences'' (Fabienne Castell, Laurent Denis, Axel Grorud, Barthélémy Legac), 1 ``chargé de recherche'' CNRS (Pierre Mathieu), 2 Phd students (Guillaume Gaudron, Nicolas Chabot).
    SYSDYS Group : a joint project between INRIA (Sophia-Antipolis), the Université de Provence and the CNRS. It contains two full time researchers (Fabien Campillo, Frédéric Cérou), a part time professor (Etienne Pardoux), and 2 Phd Students (Antoine Lejay, Elisabeth Remy).

There is a close cooperation with the group working on statistical mechanics in the Centre de Physique Théorique (Véronique Gayrard, Pierre Picco, Senya Shlossman).
