Such an assistant typically has > teaching and research duties and gets up to 6 years to obtain a PhD (to be > renewed every 2 years). The 6 years is because of the extra teaching load > as compared to a normal researchers. Regarding research, they get to choose > what professor they want to do research with and negotiate the research > topic with him; evidently I'm open to have them under my guidance, but the > choice is up to them. Regarding teaching, the teaching charges are > distributed equally among the different assistants based on their > capacities and interests. The positions are very interesting, and they get > a real contract and fair salary (as compared to some other countries). A > university level degree of master in computer science or computing science > engineering (or something equivalent) is a must. (For foreigners, > equivalence of their diploma will need to be verified but that can be done > afterwards I think.) Knowledge of French is strongly desired because the > bachelor years are still taught in French and we are already quite short on > French-speaking researchers to help out with teaching duties in the > bachelor years. Knowledge of English is also positive since our Master > years are taught in English. Anyway, if you would know anyone, please pass > them this information. *The deadline is very short* since all forms need > to be filled in and submitted electronically by *May 18*, which would > mean they need to start working on it right now.
