The Faculty of Sciences of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)
announces the opening of a full-time academic position in Theoretical
Computer Science starting October 1st, 2012. The position will have an
affiliation with the Department of Computer Science.
Candidates are expected to lead a high-quality research and teaching
programme in theoretical computer science, preferably with a
specialization in Combinatorial Optimization, Algorithmic Geometry or
Game Theory. Significant research and teaching experience, as well as
a strong publication record in international journals are
required. All applicants need to hold a PhD in Computer Science,
Mathematics, Statistics, or related disciplines. Experience in
interdisciplinary collaboration as well as significant research stays
in foreign universities or research laboratories are important assets.
The candidate will take part in teaching activities in the Bachelor
and Master programmes in Computer Science. He/she should progressively
increase his/her teaching activities to reach a level comparable to
that of his/her colleagues (typically 4 or 5 hours a week for two
semesters, plus some supervision of exercise sessions).
The ability to strengthen existing research areas at ULB will be
considered as an asset, too.
The position involves both teaching and research and some commitment
to administrative tasks. For candidates not fluent in French, a
temporary period of teaching in English may be granted. This position
will become permanent after a trial period of three years.
If the selected candidate is neither already employed by ULB nor
employed by the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique and
working at ULB, he/she will be offered a first contract for a duration
of three years. At the end of this period and subject to the agreement
of the Board of the university, he/she will be offered a permanent
position.
