[DMANET] Post-doctoral research positions at the Warsaw Center of Mathematics and Computer Science

Call for post-doctoral research positions at the Warsaw Center of
Mathematics and Computer Science.

Warsaw Center of Mathematics and Computer Science (WCMCS) is a joint
project of two scientific units: the Faculty of Mathematics,
Informatics and Mechanics of the University of Warsaw (MIMUW), and the
Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMPAN).
The Center is built on the long-standing cooperation between the two
units, in both teaching and research. The Center was designated as a
Leading National Research Center (Krajowy Naukowy Osrodek Wiodacy,
KNOW) by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education in July
2012. The award comes with a substantial grant which will provide
financing of the Center for the next five years. The grant will be
used for enhancing the research potential of both participating
institutions; this includes financing post-doctoral positions.

The post-doctoral research positions at the WCMCS are aimed at young
researchers who have just received their PhD. Successful candidates
will be employed as an adiunkt (assistant professor) at one of the
following institutions, as indicated in the candidate's application:
* the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics at the
University of Warsaw, http://www.mimuw.edu.pl; or
* the Warsaw branch of the Mathematical Institute of the Polish
Academy of Sciences, http://www.impan.pl

The positions are for 6-12 months, with a possible extension to at
most 18 months, altogether. The salary will be 7000 PLN per month,
before taxes. In addition, the holder of the position will be eligible
for financial support to participate in scientific meetings.

The position comes with a teaching load of up to 60 hours per
semester. At least 3/4 of the position's duration should be between
October 1 and June 30.

The applicant should have defended their PhD not earlier than 4 years
before the planned beginning of the position. This period can be
prolonged by the parental leave.

The candidate applying for a post-doc position at the WCMCS should
submit the following documents:
* a cover letter of application addressed to the Board of WCMCS,
indicating the institution (MIMUW or IMPAN) and the period of his/her
employment,
* a CV including a list of publications, and copies of 5 best papers, at most,
* a document that confirms holding the PhD Degree or information about
the expected date of obtaining such a degree,
* a research plan including a collaboration scheme with researchers
from MIMUW or IMPAN.

All documents should be sent as pdf files to the following e-mail
address: wcmcs.postdoc@mimuw.edu.pl In addition, the applicant should
ask at most two senior researchers to send their letters of support to
the same e-mail address. The deadline for application is December 10,
2012.

A successful candidate can take his or her job immediately after the
announcement of the results of the selection and not later than 8
months after that moment. If the candidate has no PhD degree while
submitting, before starting the work he or she should present a
document that confirms holding the degree.
