About this position
This postdoctoral position is part of the ANR GestToSay project (2025–29), which aims to advance the automatic analysis of French Sign Language (LSF) by supporting corpus creation, recognition, and translation, as well as developing tools for the LSF community.
The researcher will join the Langue Interaction Parole et Signes (LIPS) team within the Sciences et Technologies des Langues (STL) department at the LISN. The position focuses on designing, developing, experimenting with, and evaluating algorithms for automatic processing of LSF videos, including sign recognition and translation into written French.
The role is embedded in a multidisciplinary research laboratory at Université Paris-Saclay, bringing together expertise from engineering, information sciences, life sciences, and human and social sciences. The LIPS team has recognized expertise in modelling and automatic processing of sign languages, and the successful candidate will have access to laboratory workspace and computing resources, including high-performance computing.
The postholder will also contribute to scientific dissemination through article writing and oral presentation of research results.
