The main selection criteria for this position will be: the scientific excellence of the application, the clarity and relevance of the research project, the ability to lead scientific activities and the adequation to teaching needs.

RESEARCH PROFILE
This recruitment is aimed at the specialties used in the mathematical study of complexity, such as (among others): discrete mathematics (including graph theory and dynamical aspects), arithmetic complexity and cryptography, algebraic complexity and tensor geometry (including its applications to quantum information theory). All quality applications in related themes will be carefully considered.

The candidate must have demonstrated his or her autonomy and maturity through a post-doctoral experience sufficiently rich to allow the defense of a habilitation to direct research to be rapidly considered.

TEACHING
Teaching in the mathematics department of Paul Sabatier University covers all aspects of the discipline, from research-oriented courses to those intended for non-specialist students. The official teaching language at our department is mostly French, apart from certain Master programs which are taught in English. The candidate will be given opportunities to teach in English during the contract (64h/year, one third of a full service) but should be able to provide full teaching service in French after tenure.

SCIENTIFIC ENVIRONMENT
IMT is a highly reputed institute: Paul Sabatier University ranks 51-75 in the 2022 ARWU (“Shanghai”) ranking for Mathematics. It offers a very rich scientific environment covering the whole of mathematics.
The candidate to be hired will benefit from a significant funding from the National Research Agency (200k€ for fellowships and scientific activities). She/he should also be able to take advantage from the opportunities offered by the Labex CIMI (International Center for Mathematics and Computer Science), by the Institute of Artificial Intelligence ANITI, and by the graduate school MINT (Mathematics and INteraction in Toulouse).
The themes of complexity theory are well present in the Toulouse scientific community, whether at the IRIT and LAAS laboratories or inside ANITI. In addition, Toulouse’s ecosystem of applied research, both public and industrial, offers numerous opportunities for interaction. Finally, Toulouse is a very dynamic student city and benefits from a beautiful location in the south of France (an hour and a half away from the Mediterranen sea and the Pyrénées mountains).
