[cmath] PIMS/CNRS applications - due on December 1

[Alejandro Adem]

PIMS / CNRS Call for Applications 2012 - 2013

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 2012-13 at one of PIMS member 
universities and to participate in 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 ("charg(e)es de 
recherches" or "maitres de conferences").

Applications should be sent to Pascal Chossat, Directeur adjoint scientifique, 
INSMI (CNRS), and to Alejandro Adem, Director of PIMS, by December 1, 2011. 
They should include a CV 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 the spring of 2012. In the case of university 
faculty, once the application has been accepted, the actual appointment is 
subject to the person receiving a "detachement au CNRS" from his/her home 
institution.

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.
