[DMANET] Tenure-track assistant professorship at LAMSADE, University Paris-Dauphine

Tenure-track assistant professorship at LAMSADE, University Paris-Dauphine

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Laboratoire d'Analyse et Modelisation de Systemes pour
l'Aide a la Decision (LAMSADE, head Vangelis Th. Paschos) of
the University Paris-Dauphine opens, in September 2012, a
tenure-track assistant professor's position with associated
CNRS Chair, on a profile:

"Efficient solution of hard Combinatorial Optimization problems: new
models concepts and tools"

which is one of the axes of the research project
"Algorithms with Performance Guarantees" (AGaPe) within the
LAMSADE.

Successful candidate will be working mainly on "Exact computation with
provably time complexity upper bounds" on "Moderately exponential time
approximation algorithms" and on "Parameterized algorithms".

We seek for excellent candidates having strong skills in the
aforementioned fields. Other themes where outstanding applications will
also be considered are:
Polynomial approximation,
On-line computation,
Reoptimization
Algorithmic games.

Applicants should demonstrate their abilities in conducting original
top-level research. An outstanding doctoral degree and scientific
publication record at the international level are prerequisites for this
position.

Applications are due for the mid-February 2012. The selection committee
for this position is expected to decide about successful applicant by the
end of February 2012.

Details for application:

-- Candidates not in a University position either in France or abroad,
have to be qualified by the French Universities Committee (CNU,
http://cnu27.lri.fr/).
SUCH QUALIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR APPLICANTS ALREADY HOLDING UNIVERSITY
POSITIONS EQUIVALENT TO FRENCH ASSISTANT PROFESSORS).
The French qualification procedure starts on mid-September (approx.).
Results of qualification procedure are expected for the end of January
2012.
Newer information about qualification procedure will be posted in
September 2011, as soon as the the French Universities Committee will
publish the call for 2012.

Teaching requirements: Chair-endowed assistant professorships are a
relatively new status which allows for a reduced teaching load,
corresponding to 1/3rd of the standard load (i.e. 64h, instead of 192h per
academic year). CNRS provides the Chair endowment for a period of 5 years.
Teaching will take place within several Departments of the University,
mainly within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (head
Ridha
Mahjoub).
