Hi Stefano,
I am writing to you to advertise for potential postdoc positions in my department.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Details about the funding opportunity:
The Jacques Hadamard foundation offers 7 post-doc grants for positions starting in October 2021 (Deadline for application is December 1st, 2020 http://airmail.calendar/2020-12-01%2012:00:00%20UTC+1). The duration of the postdoc will be 2 years.
As for the previous years, candidates are allowed to submit their own research projects. For the first time, however, this year the foundation has retained a certain number of selected topics from its affiliated laboratories. I believe there is more chance of success for candidates applying on one of those topics.
I have submitted one of the selected topic in ML. If you know potential candidates, I’de be happy to push their application. I cannot guarantee the funding, but I know that priority will be given to ML/AI topics, so there is a decent chance of success for strong candidates.
Finally, let me add that I have proposed a ML oriented topic, but I am willing to consider all applications in relation with my other center of interests (statistics theory, Bayesian nonparametrics, etc..)

The Institut de Mathématiques d’Orsay (IMO) is the largest mathematical department of Université Paris-Saclay with more than 150 researchers (+ more than 100 PhD students). Most of areas of mathematics are represented within 5 groups (Harmonic analysis, PDEs, Arithmetic and algebraic geometry, Probability and Statistics, Topology). Hence, working at the IMO is a good opportunity to mix with excellent researchers and students from all disciplines. The IMO is located in Orsay, approximately 45min from Paris center by train. In July 2020, the University ranked 1st in Shanghai ranking’s in mathematics.
