About Inria and the job
-----------------------
Inria, with its academic, institutional and industrial partners, is commited to major research
and innovation projects in the field of computational sciences. The institute disseminates across
France thanks to its eight research centres.
The Inria Lille - Nord Europe research centre, inaugurated in 2008, employs 357 people, including
250 scientists, in its seventeen research teams. Recognised for its significant contribution to
the social and economic development of the Nord - Pas-de-Calais region, the Inria Lille - Nord
Europe research centre promotes a policy of close cooperation with major businesses and small
enterprises. By encouraging synergies between researchers and industrial partners, Inria contributes
to the transfer of skills and expertise in computational technologies and provides access to top-level
European and international research in order to support innovation and businesses, particularly
in the region of Lille.
Whether designing innovative software for business or logistics, modelling living cells or fusion
plasma, or developing medical simulators or interfaces to facilitate human-computer interaction,
our research opens up new possibilities that can revolutionise common practice and contribute to a
better understanding of the natural phenomena which surround us.

The goal of the RMoD research team at Inria Lille is to support re-modularization of object-oriented
applications. This objective is tackled from two complementary perspectives: reengineering and
modularity constructs for programming languages.
