A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle
The Centre Inria de l’Université de Grenoble groups together almost 600 people in 22 research teams and 8 research support departments.
Staff is present on three campuses in Grenoble, in close collaboration with other research and higher education institutions (Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, CEA, INRAE, …), but also with key economic players in the area.
The Centre Inria de l’Université Grenoble Alpes is active in the fields of high-performance computing, verification and embedded systems, modeling of the environment at multiple levels, and data science and artificial intelligence. The center is a top-level scientific institute with an extensive network of international collaborations in Europe and the rest of the world.
Contexte et atouts du poste
A 16-month postdoctoral position, starting at September 1st, 2024 is available at the Inria research center of Univ. Grenoble Alpes in the CONVECS team. The candidate will have the opportunity to work in the EU project A-IQ Ready funded by Chips JU.
The onset of climate change and widespread geopolitical conflicts and social inequalities showcase the need for innovation and change that require a better world. Now technologies like artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics and other related technologies are making such a world all the more feasible. The A-IQ Ready project aims to introduce and materialise an intelligent autonomous ECS (Electronic Component and System) fit for our digital age and utilise crucial technologies, like edge continuum orchestration for artificial intelligence, distributed collaborative intelligence and quantum sensing, which could prove revolutionary for most services and industries. These technologies and their combination will propel the transition to a Europe of Society 5.0.
The activities of CONVECS focus on the formal modeling and verification of asynchronous concurrent systems, which are instantiated in various domains (communication protocols, distributed algorithms, embedded systems, networks-on-chip, etc.). To this aim, CONVECS proposes new generation formal languages for specifying the behavior and the properties of concurrent systems, and devises efficient verification algorithms and tools running in the CADP verification toolbox, which assists the various phases of the design process (compilation and rapid prototyping, interactive and guided simulation, model checking and equivalence checking, conformance test generation, co-simulation, performance evaluation) and is widely used in academia and industry.
Mission confiée
Automated vehicles are complex systems involving a large number of hardware and software components that must interact (often asynchronously) and cooperate to assist decision making in a reliable way. Due to this complexity, the design process of these systems must integrate formal methods and analysis techniques, as recommended by current standards, e.g., ISO 26262.
The candidate will undertake, in collaboration with researchers of the CONVECS team and with international partners of the A-IQ Ready project, the formal modeling of automated transportation systems (outdoor truck transportation, indoor logistics) considered as use cases within the project. The candidate will study the behaviour of these systems and propose the applications of various analysis methods (model checking, equivalence checking, conformance test generation, probabilistic verification, etc.) to assess the correctness and reliability of these systems.
The candidate will also interact (by video-conference) with project partners to exchange information on the informal specifications of the systems considered and the formal modeling approaches employed.
Principales activités
The candidate will devise formal models describing the behaviour and the correctness properties of the systems under study, and study their reliability using various analysis techniques.
The candidate will also contribute to the writing of various deliverables scheduled in the A-IQ Ready project.
Compétences
Technical skills and level required : knowledge of specification languages for concurrent asynchronous systems
Languages : proficiency in English; knowledge of French also welcome
Relational skills : team working

Sécurité défense :
Ce poste est susceptible d’être affecté dans une zone à régime restrictif (ZRR), telle que définie dans le décret n°2011-1425 relatif à la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique de la nation (PPST). L’autorisation d’accès à une zone est délivrée par le chef d’établissement, après avis ministériel favorable, tel que défini dans l’arrêté du 03 juillet 2012, relatif à la PPST. Un avis ministériel défavorable pour un poste affecté dans une ZRR aurait pour conséquence l’annulation du recrutement.
Politique de recrutement :
Dans le cadre de sa politique diversité, tous les postes Inria sont accessibles aux personnes en situation de handicap.
