Villeurbanne, France Inria Temps plein

Le descriptif de l’offre ci-dessous est en Anglais_

**Type de contrat **:CDD

**Niveau de diplôme exigé **:Bac + 5 ou équivalent

**Fonction **:Doctorant

**A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle**:
The Inria research centre in Lyon is the 9th Inria research centre, formally created in January 2022. It brings together approximately 300 people in 17 research teams and research support services.

Its staff are distributed in Villeurbanne, Lyon Gerland, and Saint-Etienne.

The Lyon centre is active in the fields of software, distributed and high-performance computing, embedded systems, quantum computing and privacy in the digital world, but also in digital health and computational biology.

**Contexte et atouts du poste**:
This PhD position is supported by the Nokia-Inria Federated Learning Challenge, and will be hosted within the MARACAS team in the CITI Laboratory (a joint laboratory between Inria and INSA-Lyon). The position will be supervised by Dr Malcolm Egan and Prof. Jean-Marie Gorce (MARACAS) and Dr Alberto Conte and Marie-Line Alberia Morel (Networks Systems and Security Research, Nokia Bell Labs).

**Mission confiée**:
In the work carried out in this PhD position, we will ask two key questions:
(i) What is the impact of constraints imposed by realistic wireless communication links on state-of-the-art federated learning methods?

(ii) How can massive multiple access communications (e.g., coding, resource allocation, and signal processing) be optimized for state-of-the-art federated learning algorithms?

To address the first question, we will investigate the impact of wireless communications on the convergence of state-of-the-art federated learning algorithms. For the second question, new resource allocation, compression and coding schemes will be developed to optimize tradeoffs between reliability of communications (e.g., error-rates) and compression of federated learning updates.

**Principales activités**:
Main activities:

- Analyze convergence of state-of-the-art federated learning methods in the presence of realistic limitations arising from emerging 6G wireless communication systems.
- Develop new coding, resource allocation, and compression schemes to mitigate the impact of errors arising from wireless communications.

**Compétences**:
Technical skills:

- Background in optimization theory, probability theory/statistics, and wireless communications;
- Ideally exposure to stochastic optimization algorithms and the corresponding convergence theory;
- proficiency in python and ideally experience with machine learning packages.

**Avantages**:

- Subsidized meals
- Partial reimbursement of public transport costs
- Leave: 7 weeks of annual leave + 10 extra days off due to RTT (statutory reduction in working hours) + possibility of exceptional leave (sick children, moving home, etc.)
- Possibility of teleworking (90 days / year) and flexible organization of working hours
- Professional equipment available (videoconferencing, loan of computer equipment, etc.)
- Social, cultural and sports events and activities
- Access to vocational training
- Complementary health insurance under conditions

**Rémunération**:
