[Martin Odersky]

			    EPFL Lausanne
		      Programming Methods Group
			 Prof. Martin Odersky

We have an open position for a postdoctoral researcher in the
Programming Methods Group at EPFL. The research of our group is
centered on Scala, a new programming language which fuses functional
and object-oriented programming and which interoperates at the same
time with Java and .NET. Scala pushes the state of the art in type
systems for component abstractions and composition. It also provides
many new concepts for web programming.

Here are some of our current research directions:

 - Further developments in the Scala language design
 - High-level optimizations
 - Type systems for object-oriented and functional languages
 - Programming language support for XML
 - Component technology.
 - Reliable software, verification, testability.

If you work in some of these research areas and are interested in both
system building and theory, you will find an active and friendly
research environment at Lausanne.

The appointment is for one year initially with renewals possible up to
three years. The position is open from June, 2005, but later starting
dates can also be considered. Compensation is competitive at CHF 80K+
(1 CHF ~~ 0.83 U.S$), depending on age and experience.
