Assistant-Professor (M/F) in Industrial Engineering, Industrial Engineering Center

Environment

A school of the French Ministry of Industry, IMT Mines Albi is part of the Institut Mines-

Télécom, France's leading group of engineering and management schools. At the forefront

of industrial and academic issues on the international scene, it acts as a scientific and

economic engine for the region, combining its 4 missions in a virtuous circle of innovation:

- A generalist, innovative, humanist and international engineering school that

integrates the dynamics of sustainable development into its management;

- Research teams, spread across its 3 centers, working on the emergence and

improvement of industrial processes, in particular on its 4 technological platforms;

- A business partner that supports economic development and fosters

entrepreneurship;

- A school that promotes a culture of science, technology, innovation and enterprise in

its local area.

IMT Mines Albi, through the Industrial Engineering Center (CGI), develops research at the

frontier between Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Engineering, in collaboration with

national and international public and industrial partners. IMT Mines Albi is part of the

MINES Carnot Institute. IMT Mines Albi has been a school of Institut Mines Telecom (IMT)

since January 1, 2017.

Context

This position, open at IMT Mines Albi, is attached to the Industrial Engineering Center (CGI),

which currently employs around 70 people. The center focuses on the kinetics of

organizations and the development of decision support solutions in heterogeneous,

collaborative and uncertain contexts. This is put into practice by representing, modeling and

analyzing data from these organizations in order to formalize knowledge leading to

decision-making in heterogeneous, collaborative, uncertain and/or disrupted contexts. It is

structured along four applied research axes, drawing on four scientific disciplines.

The four axes are :

• GOL: Supply chain management and organization;

• SGC: Security and crisis management;

• IOS: Organizational engineering for healthcare;

• PSP: Design and development of products, services and processes.

The four scientific disciplines at the heart of these applied research areas are:

• OR: Operational Research ;

• IC: Knowledge Engineering ;

• IM: Model Engineering;

• SD: Data Science.

The CGI is currently seeking to strengthen its skills and capabilities in setting up and

managing research and training projects in connection with the GOL applied

research area. In particular, the CGI is looking to build up its skills in relation to the

France 2030 dynamic and Industry 5.0, especially in terms of supporting companies in

decarbonizing, relocating, resilient and automating their production systems and supply

chains.

Missions

Generally speaking, the person recruited will be involved in the school's pedagogical project,

training missions, research and technology transfer activities, setting up and monitoring

contractual activities and national and international collaborations. He/she will be a driving

force in their development, and will be called upon to contribute to IMT Mines Albi's crossfunctional

activities.

The incumbent will therefore be expected to integrate:

- The CGI training program. In addition to the core courses in Industrial Engineering

(production management, project management, business modeling, etc.) and the

"Industrial Engineering" option in the student engineering program, the candidate

will be primarily responsible for opening and running the future "Industrial

Engineering" option starting in 2025 as part of the apprenticeship engineering

program. Finally, the candidate will also be called upon to take part in the school's

various projects, internships and other cross-disciplinary exercises. The candidate's

integration project should therefore emphasize, but not exclude, a strong appetite

and skills in teaching, pedagogical engineering and leading training programs.

- In the CGI research program. The candidate must be involved in at least one of the

applied research areas (PSP, GOL, SGC or IOS). Particular attention will be paid to

applications focusing on the GOL axis, in connection with the Industry 5.0 theme

and/or the decarbonization, relocation and resilience of Supply Chains theme. In

terms of scientific skills, the candidate will be positioned in at least one of the CGI's

four disciplinary areas (RO, IC, IM, SD). Particular attention will be paid to the

candidate's ability to combine methods from Industrial Engineering and Artificial

Intelligence. Significant needs have been identified in terms of automated learning,

simulation, optimization and immersive reality. The candidate's integration project

will therefore need to highlight, on a non-exclusive basis, strong skills in all or part

of these disciplines, as well as their application to the themes of Industry 5.0. or the

decarbonization, relocation and resilience of Supply Chains.

- In the CGI's economic development program. To achieve this, the candidate will

need to demonstrate a clear interest in technology transfer and an ability to integrate

into existing projects or bring in new projects that are thematically consistent with

the center. On arrival, the candidate will be integrated into at least one of the center's

active public/private research laboratories.

It is obvious that the activities listed above can be carried out in an English-speaking

environment. A relevant level of English is therefore essential. French is clearly a plus.

Expected profile

The candidate must hold a doctorate degree. His/her field of expertise is mainly Industrial

Engineering (CNU 61). Established experience, even brief, in teaching and training in

Industrial Engineering is required.

The candidate must demonstrate, on a non-exclusive basis:

- sound technical and scientific expertise in industrial engineering, particularly in

relation to the courses offered in our training programs: (i) supply chain

management and engineering, (ii) project management and engineering, (iii)

management and engineering of operational excellence (Lean);

- Technical and scientific expertise in decision support under uncertainty, and a

project to integrate it with work currently being developed at the CGI to enhance

contributions to decarbonization, relocation, resilience and automation of

production and logistics systems;

- Demonstrable experience in teaching and training, ideally in connection with

program design and facilitation.
