A 12-month post-doctoral position is available in the Plume team
of the LIP laboratory at ENS de Lyon.

The position is cofunded by the ANR project RECRE and the LIP
laboratory.

Research conducted in Plume team covers various aspects of
programming languages semantics and logic in computer science.

«RECRE» stands for «Realizability for classical logic, concurrency,
references and rewriting». The project also includes topics relevant
to the Curry-Howard correspondence, such as denotational semantics,
linear logic, proof theory and type theory.

For this position, we will welcome applications in topics relevant
to RECRE, as well as at their intersection with other fields of logic
and computer science such as program verification or logic and
automata.

Salary: around 2000 euros net per month.

Starting date: September 1st 2014

Applications: please send, before *May 4th 2014*
a CV together with a one-page cover letter to Colin Riba.

Applications are invited for a full-time ERS position (leading to a PhD degree) at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Helsinki, within the Marie Curie ITN project MAnET.

Duration: 36 months

Starting date: September 2014

Living allowance + mobility allowance: According to the MC-ITN rules the basis for calculating the gross monthly living allowance of the recruited Early Stage Researcher is 38.000 EURO/year as a living allowance, plus a mobility allowance 700/1000 EURO/month (depending on the family status). These amounts include overheads and are subject to the applicable country correction coefficient to adjust to the cost of living of the country where the project is carried out. [In Finland this means about 3550 EURO/month minus taxes for an unmarried fellow.]

Mobility requirements: According to the regulations for mobility within the Marie Curie program, at the time of recruitment by the host organization, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organization for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior
to the reference date.

For all recruitments, the eligibility of the researcher will be determined at the time of recruitment and the status of the researcher will not evolve over the life-time of a contract.

Academic requirements: Master’s degree and less that 4 years
(full-time) research experience after Master’s degree.

Main research fields: Differential geometry, Geometric measure theory, PDEs, in particular, Minimal Surfaces. The recruited fellow will prepare his/her PhD thesis on
Minimal surfaces on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds and/or sub-Riemannian manifolds under supervision of Ilkka Holopainen. The specific topic of the thesis will be decided in accordance with the scientific background of the fellow. The fellow will actively participate in all events organized by the network.

Deadline for applications: May 31, 2014.

How to apply: Please, fill in the following on-line application form

https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/50516/lomake.html

and send by e-mail (To: ilkka.holopainen@helsinki.fi , Subject: «Application to ESR position» ) the following documents:

• Curriculum Vitae, with list of publications (pdf-file)
• Pdf copy of your identity document (with photo)
• Short presentation letter (max. 3 pages) including research interests, a description of your Master’s thesis, knowledge and possible research experience on differential geometry, geometric measure theory, minimal surfaces.
• Names and e-mail addresses of 2 reference persons who are willing to write recommendation letters upon request.

The selected fellow is asked to consult the following general criteria for postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Science at the University of Helsinki.

Bonjour,

nous recherchons un candidat pour une thèse financée à l’Institut Camille Jordan à l’Université Jean Monnet de Saint-Étienne, à partir de septembre 2014. Date limite de candidature 16 mai 2014.

Titre : Méthodes de réécriture en théorie des représentations – Présentations cohérentes de la 2-catégorie des bimodules de Bott-Samelson.

Résumé : L’objectif est d’étudier la catégorie des bimodules de Soergel par des méthodes de réécriture de dimension supérieure. Cette catégorie s’exprime comme l’enveloppe de Karoubi de la catégorie monoïdale des bimodules de Bott-Samelson, dont une présentation par
générateurs et relations est donnée par Elias et Williamson.

Il s’agira, d’une part, de développer des méthodes de réécriture pour les présentations de catégories monoïdales, d’autre part, d’obtenir des présentations convergentes, i.e., terminantes et confluentes, de la catégorie des bimodules de Bott-Samelson afin de décrire les propriétés algébriques et homotopiques de la catégorie de Soergel.

Sujet détaillé : http://math.univ-lyon1.fr/~malbos/theseReecritureRep.pdf

Contacts : Stéphane Gaussent (stephane.gaussent@univ-st-etienne.fr) et Philippe Malbos (malbos@math.univ-lyon-1.fr)

https://project.inria.fr/gudhi/

The applicants will work in the Geometrica project team of Inria which is located in Saclay (south of Paris) and in Sophia Antipolis (on the french Riviera) and benefit from the outstanding research environment provided by Inria. Positions are open on both sites.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D in mathematics or computer science. Appointments are research-only (with no teaching duties). They are typically for two years, with possible renewal for a second two- year period. The salary will be in the range 2,600-3,200 euros per month depending on experience (before tax but including health insurance and
social security coverage).

Candidates should send their application (preferably in PDF) to Jean-Daniel.Boissonnat@inria.fr who can also be contacted for furhter information.
