AI Fellows de l’Université PSL - 10 positions (F/M)
60 rue Mazarine 75006 Paris
Working environment and context
Hosting structure
Located in the heart of Paris, Université PSL combines excellence and diversity to foster dialogue across all fields of knowledge and creation in sciences, economics and social sciences, humanities, engineering, and arts. With 17,000 students and 4,500 faculty members, Paris Sciences & Lettres is comparable to the world's leading universities. It prioritizes capacity for action over mere size.
Our collegiate university brings together eleven member institutions and three research organizations (CNRS, Inserm, Inria), along with associated establishments, all committed to offering unprecedented opportunities in education, research, innovation, and national and international industrial or academic partnerships to their communities.
A breeding ground for 27 Nobel laureates, 10 Fields Medalists, 3 Abel Prize laureates, 44 César Award winners, and 75 Molière Award recipients, PSL concentrates exceptional strengths. Its academic community makes the most of the potential of its 181 laboratories to build major, innovative, and radically interdisciplinary projects that enrich its educational programs.
Member institutions of PSL include: Chimie Paris, Conservatoire national supérieur d’Art dramatique, École nationale supérieure d'architecture Paris-Malaquais, École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, École nationale des Chartes, École normale supérieure, École Pratique des Hautes Études, ESPCI Paris, Mines Paris, Observatoire de Paris and Paris Dauphine. Associated institutions include: Beaux-Arts de Paris, Collège de France, Conservatoire national supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, École française d'Extrême-Orient, Institut Curie.

Funded to the tune of 75 M€, the PR[AI]RIE Paris School of AI (PR[AI]RIE-PSAI), a project led by Université PSL in partnership with Université Paris Cité, CNRS, Inria and Institut Pasteur, has the highest budget in the French "IA Cluster" program, aimed at consolidating research, training and innovation clusters in artificial intelligence in France.
As part of this program, Université PSL is recruiting 10 Fellows in Artificial Intelligence to take up their positions on September 1, 2026. These positions are intended for young researchers in artificial intelligence who wish to pursue a high-level research career, while at the same time investing in teaching assignments and the development of original courses.
Mission
Paris School of AI
The range of courses offered by the Paris School of AI at PSL University, as part of the PR[AI]RIE-PSAI IA-Cluster, covers all levels from bachelor to doctorate for AI specialists and non-specialists (AI+X) in initial and continuing education. Teaching is in French or English, depending on the course. The people recruited will mainly be involved in the following courses:
- International Bachelor of Science in AI ;
- Double Licence IA et science des organisations (Double Bachelor's degree in AI and organizational science) ;
- CPES Sciences des données, Art et Culture (Data Science, Art and Culture) ;
- Master IASD (Master in AI and Data Science) ;
- Master IA et Société (AI and Society) ;
- Programme transverse Data (Transverse program in Data Science).
The people recruited will need to be able to adapt to a wide range of students and teach in AI. Most of the teaching required concerns the "core of AI":
- from introduction to machine learning to advanced statistical learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, ...
- natural language processing, computer vision, data science, ...
More specialized profiles are also in demand:
- AI for science: teaching the use of AI for different scientific disciplines to non-specialists;
- computational social sciences:
- fundamental concepts and theories of the social sciences,
- basic principles of human behavior and decision-making,
- social change and cultural dynamics,
- public policy implementation and evaluation,
- causal inference methods (e.g. regression discontinuity, difference-in-difference, instrumental variables, randomized controlled trials)
- ethics, governance and regulation:
- ethics of AI and algorithmic decision-making,
- justice, fairness and bias in AI systems,
- regulation and governance of AI, including global policy frameworks,
- societal impact of AI, with a focus on economic, cultural and political implications.
The teaching emphasis is on both theoretical foundations and practical applications.
The expected teaching workload is 80 hours of lectures per year (equivalent to 120 hours of tutorials).
