About this position

PhD opportunity in argument mining, natural language processing, and fairness/bias mitigation at CNRS and Université Côte d'Azur, within the MARIANNE team at the Laboratoire d'Informatique, Signaux et Systèmes de Sophia Antipolis (I3S) in Valbonne, France.

The thesis is part of the ERC CoG PANDORA project (Deep Multimodal Learning for Mining and Generation of Arguments). The research focuses on designing argument mining systems for detection, classification, and extraction of argumentative relations in text, with an emphasis on reducing biases from training data, annotators, and neural architectures. The project aims to build more robust, generalizable, and fair tools for sensitive applications such as public debate analysis, content moderation, and decision support.

The team is interdisciplinary, with connections to linguistics, philosophy, sociology, and law, while remaining grounded in computer science and mathematical methods. Applicants should have a PhD-equivalent background in engineering, computer science, or mathematics. Basic French is required. No prior research experience is required.

This is a full-time temporary doctoral contract (35 hours/week). The position starts on 1 Nov 2026. Application deadline: 25 Sep 2026, 23:59 UTC. Apply via the CNRS job portal / Euraxess listing.
