Full application should be sent before May 31st 2009 including a resume, a short research project (1 page) and two names of possible references. This should be preferably done by email or at the postal address below. For all correspondance use the contact addresses: postdoc-choco@pps.jussieu.fr Paul-Andre Mellies Laboratoire PPS Universite Paris 7 - Denis Diderot Case 7014 75205 Paris Cedex 13 FRANCE The net salary will be around 2000 euro/month before income tax. The starting date for the postdoctoral position is September 2009 although later dates may be also considered. Description The general purpose of the project CHOCO is to investigate the syntactic, semantic and algebraic aspects of proof theory in order to integrate concurrency theory in the Curry-Howard correspondence between proofs and programs. The interdisciplinary nature of the project between proof theory and concurrency theory means that candidates from various scientific horizons are welcome to apply. On the other hand, we will consider with special interest applications by candidates with background in one or several of the fields: - linear logic (proof nets, geometry of interaction) - semantics (game semantics, vectorial semantics) - concurrency theory (process calculi, presheaf semantics) - type theory (realizability, types for process calculi) - rewriting theory (lambda-calculus, diagrammatic rewriting) - category theory (categorical algebra, topos theory) The applicant should hold a PhD or be about to defend his/her PhD thesis by December 2009. The postdoc researcher will work within the laboratory PPS (Preuves, Programmes, Systemes) http://www.pps.jussieu.fr which is internationally recognized as one of the leading research laboratories in mathematics and computer science, with its distinctive proof-theoretic culture. The laboratory PPS is located in Chevaleret, the largest research community of mathematicians in France. The laboratory PPS is also part of the Fondation Sciences Mathematiques de Paris. http://www.sciencesmath-paris.fr Strong interaction of the postdoc researcher with the partner sites of the CHOCO project is also expected: - Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris Nord. - Laboratoire d'Informatique du Parallelisme, Lyon, - Laboratoire de Mathematiques de l'Universite de Savoie, Chambery - Institut de Mathematiques de Luminy, Marseille, - Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale de Marseille, Further information will possibly be made available from the web page of the project indicated above.
