Research area of the position
-----------------------------

The researcher to be recruited is expected to contribute to the current research
activities of the PPS laboratory on various challenges arising from programming
in the large: complex software systems based on heterogeneous, possibly
distributed components with short development lifecycles; theory and
applications of formal methods to large codes or code bases, possibly leading to
the development of tools for improving the quality of software systems,
especially free and open source software.

Potential candidates are encouraged to peruse the laboratory web site
(http://www.pps.jussieu.fr), as well as the websites of some of the research
projects hosted there, like Mancoosi (http://www.mancoosi.org), CerCo

(http://ocsigen.org/).

In PPS, the candidate will find a unique blend of computer scientists, with
strong formal basis rooted in mathematics, and a passion for programming and
applications: this is why, while the position description may seem more oriented
towards applications, strong candidates in theoretical computer science are very
welcome and should not hesitate in contacting us.

Please notice that this position involves teaching, in French and proficiency in
this language is necessary at the time the position is taken (September 2011).
