So, my postdoc is about to end (just a few more weeks left), and it seems like my next position has been decided! I will be a research engineer at P16, a development unit within Inria where I will be working on the Skrub Python library. It’s a short term contract (one year), which means that in a few months I’ll have to go back to looking for a new job. For the time being, however, I’ll enjoy spending more time at Inria. ...

For the next two years (starting last October), I have been/will be working as a Postdoctoral Researcher for Inria Saclay in the SODA Team and at Dataiku in their research department. ...
