[cmath] PIMS/CNRS Call for Applications 2009-10

[Alan Kelm]

The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) and the Centre 
National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) are calling for applications 
from French researchers to spend the academic year 2009-10 in one of the 
PIMS universities and to participate in the PIMS research activities. The 
applicants should be either "fonctionnaires titulaires" either at the CNRS 
or at a French university, and priority will be given to junior 
researchers ("chargé(e)es de recherches" or "maîtres de conferences").

Applications should be sent to Jean-Marc Gambaudo, Directeur Adjoint pour 
les Mathematiques au CNRS, and to Alejandro Adem, Director of PIMS, by 
December 1, 2008. They should include a vitae and a list of publications, 
together with a description of the research project to be done during the 
academic year, and the names of the PIMS researchers which would be 
involved in the project. Results will be announced by December 15, 2008. 
In the case of university faculty, once the application has been accepted, 
the actual appointment is subject to the person asking for a "détachement 
au CNRS" from his/her home institution and being accepted.

Successful applicants will be sent for one year by the CNRS to the PIMS 
university where the research is to be carried out, on the understanding 
that they will be given adequate working conditions, and be treated like 
local faculty (except for teaching). We encourage researchers at PIMS 
universities to contact their French counterparts and encourage them to 
apply. The extent of local support will be a crucial factor in judging the 
applications.
