About Inria and the Job

Public science and technology institution established in 1967, Inria is the only public research body fully dedicated to computational sciences. Combining computer sciences with mathematics, Inria’s 3,449 researchers strive to invent the digital technologies of the future.

Educated at leading international universities, they creatively integrate basic research with applied research and dedicate themselves to solving real problems, collaborating with the main players in public and private research in France and abroad and transferring the fruits of their work to innovative companies. The researchers at Inria published over 4,500 articles in 2013. They are behind over 270 active patents and 110 start-ups. In 2013, Inria’s budget came to 235 million euros, 25% of which represented its own resources.

Digital technologies are generating new services, they deeply change our lifestyles and improve our daily life. In France, Inria is the only public research institute entirely dedicated to digital sciences. 400 R & D engineers assist the scientists in their daily work, they develop software tools to facilitate the research and set up technology platforms for experimentation.

the MARMOTE project (https://wiki.inria.fr/MARMOTE/Welcome) aims at realizing the prototype of a software environment dedicated to modeling with Markov chains. It brings together seven partner teams, expert in markovian analysis, who will develop advanced solution algorithms and applications in different scientific domains: reliability, distributed systems, biology, physics and economics.
