[TYPES/announce] Position preannouncement in Paris 7 (in ** mathematics **)

[Curien Pierre-Louis]

POSITION PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT

A  position of Maitre de Conferences (permanent position)  in  
mathematics is likely to be opened next year at Paris 7 University.
The hired candidate will work in the laboratory   PPS (Preuves,  
Programmes et Systemes), which spreads its interests on both sides of  
the correspondence between proofs and programs, covering work on  
language design and implementation, rewriting, semantics (and game  
semantics in particular), categories, linear logic, realizability,  
probabilistic  and topological methods, etc...  See www.pps.jussieu.fr.

The position will be opened around February 2007, with decisions taken  
around May 2007, and job starting in September 2007.

But there is a preliminary phase called  ** qualification **, through  
which all candidates to academic positions in France have to go.
This procedure consists of an evaluation of both research and teaching  
experience of candidates in view of their potential application to a  
position in a French university. The first phase of this (rather light)  
procedure is opened on September 11, 2006, and

*** closes on October 16, 2006 ***

and is entirely electronical  
(http://www.education.gouv.fr/personnel/enseignant_superieur/ 
enseignant_chercheur/calendrier_qualification.htm).  The section of  
qualification should be preferably number 25 (mathe'matiques), but  
candidates interested in multiple applications in France, including in  
CS departments, may also apply for qualification in section 27  
(informatique) simultaneously.

This approaching first deadline is the main reason for the present  
early announcement.

A certain fluency in French is required for the position. The teaching  
will be in the mathematics department, so some experience in teaching  
mathematics (rather than computer science) is welcome  Teaching is in  
French.

I invite potential candidates to contact me, and I also encourage  
colleagues to point me to interesting potential candidates fitting the  
criteria.

Best regards,

Pierre=Louis Curien
