MISSIONS:

Our team is looking for post-doc with experience and motivation in the field of service orchestration and management in future networks involving end-to-end services and communications spanning clouds and networks including the edge continuum in a sensing, clouds and networks convergence context.

The funded collaborative projects where the candidates will be involved consist of developing methods and models for service orchestration and management. The latter imply several steps spanning query languages, analysis and parsing systems (including natural language processing of service provisioning requests), service decomposition, service "discovery, matching and selection", composition, orchestration, deployment, configuration, control and management.

Candidates with knowledge in any of these steps, education and experience in networks, networking and networks virtualization are all eligible for the position.

ACTIVITIES : The positions activities and work plans are outlined below:

• Design and development of components of a full-fledged holistic automated service orchestration and management architecture for multiple clouds and future networks involved multiple technologies, stakeholders and tenants.

• Knowledge of monitoring tools and data "analysis and processing" for systems, networks and services optimization, control and management are a plus for these positions

Background and context of the planned study;

The context is that of future networks involving advances in cloud computing, networking and in their dynamic adaptation and configuration. These concern future distributed computer and communications systems, networks and services including smart network such as those envisaged in 6G.

Level of training and/or experience required:

- PhD or "Doctorat" of less than 3 years in Cloud Services Computing and Networking

Essential skills, knowledge and experience:

- Experience in cloud services and their composition

- Experience on orchestration tools involving deployment, instantiation and configuration of infrastructures and services (OSM, ONAP, OpenBaton, Cloudify and Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, SaltStack etc.)

- Desired experience in machine learning and AI principles

- Knowledge on "service to network interfaces" would be a plus (Restful, Netconf, Yang, TAPi,...)

- Knowledge of service description frameworks, query language and ontologies desirable for this position (Yaml, Json, OWL-*, RdF)

Abilities and skills:

- High motivation for conducting independent and funded research

- Ability to conduct team work

- Decision making capabilities and autonomy at work
