--------------------------------------------------------- Call for 2 Postdoc Positions ---------------------------------------------------------- We are seeking applicants for two 1-year post-doctoral research positions on the topic of coinductive techniques for probabilistic models, especially models based on the lambda-calculus or process calculi. The coinductive techniques are meant to be essentially techniques based on the concept of bisimulation. The positions are offered at the University of Bologna (Italy), and at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon (France), respectively. This work is in collaboration with the Inria Comete Team (France), and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China), in the context of the project PACE: http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/daniel.hirschkoff/pace/ The monthly net salary is around 2100 Euros in both cases. The starting date for each postdoc can be negotiated, but should be between February and November 2015. REQUIREMENTS: * Ph.D. in Computer Science (completed or near completion) * For the position in Bologna, most important is some research background on probabilistic models. Other useful background (for both positions) may be lambda-calculus, process calculi, type systems, coinductive methods, coalgebra, Kleene algebra. APPLICATION: * Please send a curriculum, a publication record and a statement of interest via e-mail to Ugo Dal Lago (ugo.dall...@unibo.it), Daniel Hirschkoff (daniel.hirschk...@ens-lyon.fr) and Davide Sangiorgi (davide.sangio...@gmail.com); the statement should also specify the preferred location, if any. * Deadline: December 30, 2014.
