Dear colleagues, The Foundation Sciences Mathematiques de Paris www.sciencesmaths-paris.fr that covers all fields of mathematics as well as (theoretical) computer science, launches its 2008 programs, including an attractive research chair and a postdoc programme. Applications that are particularly suited for one of the two research labs of the Foundation (LIAFA and PPS: www.liafa.jussieu.fr and www.pps.jussieu.fr) and possibly for one of the research teams at INRIA Rocquencourt (which has an agreement with the foundation) are welcome. The deadline for application is **** January 7, 2008 **** The application procedure is as indicated on the website. But I can only highly recommend that potential candidates take prior contacts with a member of the hosting laboratory. Only candidates with a clear research fit, and a high research profile may have a chance to win this tough competition, given its broad scope! Dion't hesitate to contact me or one of my colleages in Paris 7 University for further details or advice. Best regards, Pierre-Louis
