Professorship in mathematical foundations of computer science, Natal (Brazil)

UFRN (the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, in Brazil) has two open faculty positions. The positions are at DIMAp, the Department of Informatics and Applied Mathematics. One position is for Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science; the other for Numerical Methods, with a bias towards Scientific Computing.

UFRN is one of the very few universities in Brazil where logicians may be found at the departments of Informatics, Philosophy and Mathematics (and even the present rector of the university used to work as a logician). We would very much welcome another logician to strengthen our ranks. For the Mathematical Foundations position, the topics for the written exam and for the didactics exam may be found at: http://tinyurl.com/DIMAp-FMC As you can see, we are looking for someone with a solid background on Universal Algebra and Set Theory, and willing to teach Discrete Math to undergrad computer science students.

The application should be made from October 06 to October 30, 2014. The selection process is through a formal concours. Some knowledge of Portuguese is required in the concours.
