Position announcement in Aix-Marseille university

[Lionel Vaux <lionel.vaux@univ-amu.fr>]

A permanent position of "ma?tre de conf?rences" (more or less equivalent
to associate professor, or senior lecturer) in mathematics is opened at
Aix-Marseille university.

The hired candidate will work in the newly founded Institut de
math?matiques de Marseille[1] and is expected to do research in discrete
mathematics, preferably in logic and computation, information theory or
number theory.

The logic group here[2] was founded by Girard and has a strong
background in the subjects of proof theory central to the
proofs-as-programs paradigm: lambda-calculus, linear logic, denotational
semantics, etc. It is also active in, e.g., rewriting and homotopy,
applications to linguistics, implicit complexity, classical
realisability, concurrency and process algebras. To get a good idea of
the wider interests of the team and of its collaborations, you can have
look at the programme of the Logic and interactions 2012 conference[3].
The profile is broad and we will welcome interesting additions to the
research directions of the team.

Teaching will be in the mathematics department: fluency in french is
required, and experience in teaching mathematics is welcome.

More information is available in the announcement[4]. Also be aware that
applicants for a permanent university position in France have to hold a
so-called "qualification".

Candidates with a "logic and computation" profile are invited to contact
Laurent Regnier <regnier@iml.univ-mrs.fr>.

Best regards,
Lionel Vaux.
