Join us
We're recruiting PhD students, postdocs, and interns. If you want to work on hard problems at the intersection of multimedia and modern AI — and ship the code that proves your ideas — read on.
Why join the MM team?
We’re a young and growing team inside one of France’s top engineering schools, with strong industrial collaborations and a publication track at the leading machine learning, computer vision, and multimedia venues. We care about work that matters — frugal models that actually run on devices, compression that holds up in production, learning algorithms with proper foundations — and we value clean, reproducible code as much as we value the paper that wraps it.
You’ll work in Palaiseau on the Institut Polytechnique de Paris campus, with access to GPU infrastructure, an open and collaborative atmosphere, and the broader IP Paris ecosystem (Inria Saclay, École Polytechnique, ENSTA, ENSAE).
What we look for
- Curiosity over credentials. A strong undergraduate or master’s in CS/EE/applied math, solid foundations in linear algebra and probability, and the ability to read papers critically.
- Comfort with code. PyTorch is our daily driver. You should be the kind of person who reads the source of a library when the docs are unclear.
- A point of view. Tell us what you find interesting and why — not what you think we want to hear.
How to apply
The most efficient path is to write directly to the faculty member whose research area matches yours (see the Team page). Please include:
- A short note (a few paragraphs) on what you’d like to work on and why
- Your CV
- Your transcripts (most recent first)
- A representative piece of work — a thesis, a project report, a code repository, anything that shows how you think
Generic application emails sent to multiple groups at once are easy to spot and rarely successful. Tailor your note.
Open positions
We don’t always advertise every position publicly. If you’re unsure whether there’s an opening that fits you, just ask — write to Enzo Tartaglione and we’ll point you to the right person.
Funded PhD calls (current)
- Internal IP Paris doctoral school calls open each spring — contact us by February if you’re considering them.
- Industrial CIFRE PhDs are co-funded with a company partner — we have several active partnerships and are happy to discuss new topics.
Funded postdocs / research engineers
- Project-dependent — write to us with your interests.
Master’s / engineering internships (M1, M2, gap year)
- We supervise internships year-round, with a peak in spring for M2 research stays. Apply at least three months in advance.
