[Apologies for multiple posting] The French ANR project LOGOI is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position within the team Logique de la Programmation (LDP) of the Institut de MathÈmatiques de Luminy (IML) in Marseille, France. Context ------- The LOGOI project pursues the programme of Geometry of Interaction (GoI), which aims at a reconstruction of logic from interaction as the primitive notion, considered as an abstract counterpart of cut elimination. This programme has started together with linear logic and has evolved since its early days, from the limited case of multiplicatives to recent developments involving the theory of operator algebras and providing a strikingly new perspective on implicit complexity via light logics. The goals of the LOGOI project are on one side to better understand and refine the current theory of GoI, and on the other side to draw on the novel tools and concepts provided by this framework, in order to propose a new structured approach to proof theory and its connections with other areas of computer science. Post Doctoral Position ---------------------- This is a full-time research position for one year, with a possible one-year extension. It is expected to start at the beginning of fall 2012 (between 1 Sep. and 1 Nov.). Research will take place at the IML in Marseille. The successful applicant will contribute to the main areas of the LOGOI project research effort: geometry of interaction, ludics, proof theoretical aspects of computation. Possible connections with other fields of proof theory and computer science are also of interest. The post-doc is of course expected to participate to group activities (workshops, meetings, tutorials) both of the LOGOI project and the LDP team. Requirements ------------ Applicants must hold a PhD degree in computer science or mathematics, and should have a strong background in logic and proof theory. Skills in an additional area of computer science (complexity, concurrency, programming language semantics, etc.) are very welcome. If the PhD thesis is not defended yet, the candidate must provide the planned defence date and the composition of the thesis committee. Knowledge of French is not required. Application ----------- To apply, please send an email to logoi-postdoc@iml.univ-mrs.fr, including your current CV, a link to a list of your publications, and a research statement summarizing your research activities and goals (preferably two pages at most). You might also include the names of up to two references. The deadline for applications is 20 june 2012, but early expression of interest is encouraged.
