The Foundation Mathematical Sciences of Paris (FSMP) is offering scholarships for postdoctoral programs in mathematics and computer science at the research laboratories affiliated to the Foundation in France.
The Foundation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris offers 18 years of post-doctoral positions in mathematics and in computer science. These positions are for one or two year and are to be filled as from 1st October 2014, in the research laboratories affiliated to the Foundation.
Study Subject:
Positions are available in the field of mathematics and computer science. Moreover, an application of one year is dedicated to the project Instabilities in hydrodynamics. Applications to the postdoctoral program hydrodynamical instabilities are specific to the “Emergence(s)” project.
Eligibility:
Positions are open to holders of a doctorate in mathematics or computer science, obtained in France or in a foreign country before October 1st, 2014 and defended after October, 1st 2009 (October 1st 2008 in case of maternity leave). Those who defended their doctorate in one of the affiliated laboratories cannot apply. Offers are not theme-based, and all mathematical disciplines are welcome.
The selection will be based on excellence in scientific accomplishment and the quality of the scientific project.
A quota of positions “interactions of mathematics” will be reserved for candidates working on the interactions between mathematics and other scientific areas (among which oceanography, biology and risk studies) or mathematics and industry.
