Within the IRIF laboratory (UMR 8243 of the CNRS and the University of Paris Cité), the Algorithms and Complexity team, as well as the Dynamic Systems group of the Automata team, are winners of several European projects including ERC, and funding programs of the national strategy on quantum technologies and cybersecurity, mainly
- ERC Starting Grant OBELiSC
- ERC Synergy Grant Dynamics
- QuanTEdu-France project
- PEPR EPIQ
- PEPR HQI
- PEPR Secure Compute

The person recruited will be placed under the hierarchical responsibility of the director of the IRIF, with functional supervision carried out by the scientific managers of projects in connection with the secretary general of the laboratory.
