[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 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". Other themes of the project where she/he is
also expected to work are: Polynomial approximation, On-line computation
and Algorithmic games. We seek for excellent candidates having strong
skills in the aforementioned fields; applicants should demonstrate their
abilities in conducting original top-level research in them. An
outstanding doctoral degree and scientific publication record at the
international level are prerequisites for this position.

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/)
-- For formal application details the applicants can be referred to:
http://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/pid20005/concours-emploi-et-carrieres.html
-- Deadline for application: March 25th 2011

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).
