Dear Haskellers, We are looking for people for a homological algebra project at NUI Galway and some of these would ideally have a functional programming/Haskell background. If you are not interested but know of someone who might be, I'd be happy if you could pass it on. Thanks, Emil ------------------------------------------------------------------ Two 2-year postdoctoral positions and two 2-month visiting positions are available in the Mathematics Department of the National University of Ireland, Galway. The positions are funded by a Marie Curie Transfer of Knowledge grant aimed at designing and implementing algorithms for Computational Homological Algebra. Details of the project are available at http://hamilton.nuigalway.ie/CHA . It is likely that one of the postdocs will have expertise in computer algebra, and that the other will have expertise in computer science (preferably functional programming) and a solid undertanding of basic algebra. The applicants must satisfy certain Marie Curie eligibility criteria which are explained on page 26 of the Transfer of Knowledge Handbook (available at http://hamilton.nuigalway.ie/CHA/SideLinks/eligibility.pdf ). In particular, applicants should have a PhD and not have spent more than 12 months in Ireland recently. Salaries depend on experience. The postdoc salary is approximately 47K euro plus generous expenses. The visitor stipend is approximately 15K euro. The initial closing date for the positions is 22nd September 2006, but applications will continue to be considered until posts have been filled. For further details, or to apply, please contact one of the following: Jim Cruickshank (james.cruickshank@nuigalway.ie) Graham Ellis (graham.ellis@nuigalway.ie) Emil Skoeldberg (emil.skoldberg@nuigalway.ie)
