Tenured professorship in computer science is available
at the University of Reunion Island starting from September,

enrich 30 staff members of IREMIA, the local research
laboratory composed of both computer scientist and
mathematicians. The laboratory is well equipped with Sparc
workstations and Mac computers.

teaching and research supervision.

Another requirement is the ability to teach in French at both
undergraduate and graduate levels.

The salary depends on experience but it is at least 276000 FRF
