Postdoc position in Lyon

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 for an ESR (Early Stage Researcher) position, University of Helsinki, Finland.

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.

Lecturer in Pure Mathematics, University of Leeds – Mathematics & Physical Sciences.

Full time (part time hours will be considered)

The School of Mathematics is an internationally leading centre for research in areas of Pure Mathematics including algebra, analysis, geometry and logic (see for example http://www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/research/pure-mathematics.html).

We have a strategy of supporting leading research across these areas as well as embracing the development of links between them.

We seek to strengthen our research activity by appointing to a Lectureship an individual with an outstanding research record working in one or more of these areas, or in a compatible area offering scope for strategic enhancement and development.

You must have a PhD or other doctorate in a relevant discipline and a proven track record of research. You must have publication outputs which meet standards of academic excellence equivalent to the REF assessment grade of 3* and 4* (internationally excellent, or world-leading, in terms of originality, significance and rigour).

You should have recent experience of teaching undergraduate and/or postgraduate students and the development of teaching materials, with a willingness and ability to teach effectively at all levels and an enthusiastic approach to all aspects of research-led teaching, including specialist modules and project supervision.

Applications from women, who are currently under-represented in this area, will be particularly welcome; however, the final recruitment decision will be based solely on merit.

Informal enquiries may be made to Prof Paul Martin, tel +44 (0)113 343 7787, email p.p.martin@leeds.ac.uk
