Postdoctoral position in Programming Technology at the University of
Bergen, Norway
We are looking for an excellent researcher to fill a postdoctoral
position.
The position is available for a period of 2 years at the Department of
Informatics, University of Bergen, Norway. It is financed by the
Research Council of Norway (NFR) through the project Scientific
Computing with Algebraic and Generative Abstractions for Geophysical
Problems (SAGA-GEO, http://www.ii.uib.no/saga/). The project conducts
basic research on the use of advanced programming technologies for e-
science. The position is in this area in general, but there is a
preference for an expert in programming of parallel computers.
University of Bergen is a city university. Parts of the campus are in
fact situated in the town centre. We have about 17.000 students and
nearly 3000 employees. UiB is renowned for its research which holds a
high European standard and we have three Centres of Excellence (CoE).
The University of Bergen has a strong international profile which
entails close co-operation with universities all over the world.
The working environment will be the Programming technology Group at the
Department of Informatics, University of Bergen. The group consists of 2
full-time professors, 3 adjunct professors, 1 postdoctoral fellows and 5
PhD positions. The group is very international and much of the working
language is English. The project also involves cooperation with the
Mathematics Department and CIPR.
Applicants must have achieved a Norwegian doctorate in informatics,
mathematics or an equivalent education abroad, or have presented the
dissertation for assessment by the closing date for application. It is
prerequisite the dissertation has been approved before appointment is
granted.
The chief objective of the postdoctoral position is to qualify the
successful applicant for top academic positions.
It is expected that the successful candidate will start late 2006 or
early 2007. Salary will be paid in accordance with level 54 on the
government salary scale (code 1352) currently equivalent to NOK 390 000
(1 EURO is about 8 NKR) per year before tax. There are no teaching
duties. Positions in Norway include health and other benefits.
Please contact Professor Magne Haveraaen http://www.ii.uib.no/~magne/
phone 47 55 58 4154 if you are interested in this position or if you
have any questions.
State employment shall reflect the multiplicity of the population at
large to the highest possible degree. We have therefore adopted a
personnel policy objective to ensure that we achieve a balanced age and
sex composition and the recruitment of persons of various ethnic
backgrounds. Persons of different ethnic backgrounds are therefore
encouraged to apply for the position.
The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to
the position at any time.The University of Bergen applies the principles
of public openness when recruiting staff to scientific positions.

======================================================================
SCOPE
The Workshop on Functional and (Constraint) Logic Programming aims
at bringing together researchers interested in functional
programming, (constraint) logic programming, as well as the
integration of the two paradigms.It promotes the cross-fertilizing
exchange of ideas and experiences among researchers and students
from the different communities interested in the foundations,
applications, and combinations of high-level, declarative
programming languages and related areas.
