PhD Position: Logic, SMT, Verification

The Computer Science department of the Montefiore Institute at the
University of Liège invites applications for a PhD position / teaching
assistant. The position is for 4 years with an evaluation after 2 years.

Duties: the recruited PhD student will conduct her/his research in the
department with Bernard Boigelot and/or Pascal Fontaine on symbolic
verification and/or SMT solving, and will help with teaching duties in
the department, mainly on subjects related to logic and programming.

Requirements: we are looking for excellent candidates with a Master
university degree (or equivalent) in computer science, engineering, or
mathematics. Good knowledge of programming and mathematical logic is
mandatory. Some acquaintance with verification, SAT/SMT solving,
automated/interactive theorem proving, or automata based decision
procedures (e.g. for modal or temporal logics) is a plus.

Contact: please contact Bernard Boigelot (boigelot@montefiore.ulg.ac.be)
and Pascal Fontaine (pfontain@montefiore.ulg.ac.be) for details, and/or
further discussion about the possible PhD subjects.

Are there any possible scholarships for undergraduates?

[Admin]

Welcome to TSSFL Open Discussion Forums, @L004.

We regularly post scholarship opportunities as they come to our attention, so there have been scholarships for undergraduates in the past, and definitely there will be a lot of them in the future, just keep watching.

Postdoctoral Position on modeling the COVID-19 epidemic

We are looking for a strongly motivated person with excellent skills in computational modeling, data collection and analysis, and a keen interest in multidisciplinary research. The candidate should have a Ph.D. (or expect to have one for the starting date) in quantitative science, such as physics, applied mathematics, computer science, epidemiology, or any close related discipline. Proven ability to work independently and to quickly adapt to new scientific environments is essential for this position. Good communicative skills to successfully collaborate with the other members of the group, and a good knowledge of both oral and written English are required.

The selected candidate will work in Paris (France). She/he will join the Networks in Disease Ecology group part of IPLESP and will work under the supervision of Dr. Chiara Poletto, and in collaboration with the Team 1 and the Surveillance group responsible for GP COVID-19 surveillance in France. The topics of the work will be marked by the objectives of NoCOV, which include the mechanistic modeling of COVID spatial spread in the French territory through a computational approach to the analysis of surveillance data and the exploration of the possible intervention scenarios. Research tasks will be computational programming (development of data-driven models, agent-based approaches), the analysis and characterization of simulation output, and their comparison with incidence data. Experience with data-intensive computational modeling, and data analysis is highly desirable.

The position is full-time and fixed-term available for one year in the first instance. Applications will be continuously received and evaluated until the position is filled.

Applications should be submitted to Dr. Chiara Poletto via email (chiara.poletto@inserm.fr) and must include:

- letter of motivation;
- CV including the list of publications;
- up to 3 selected preprints/publications most relevant for this position;
- Contact details for 2 referees.

Applicants for honours, masters and doctoral funding must be 28, 30 and 32 years of age or younger respectively in the year of application. Successful applicants will be funded either at Full Cost Study (FCS) or Partial Cost of Study (PCS). The FCS funding will be awarded to South African citizens and permanent residents only, who are either financially needy (i.e., those whose combined household family income is less or equal to R350 000 per annum), living with a disability or exceptional academic achievers. However, the PCS funding will be awarded to 5% of international students including South African citizens and permanent residents who could not be funded under FCS but meet other minimum requirements for the NRF scholarship funding criteria.

Scholarships are intended to support honours, masters and doctoral candidates to pursue studies in all areas of Science, Engineering, Technology, Social Sciences, and Humanities.

The NRF has phased out the block grant nomination process as well as the grant-holder linked modalities of funding postgraduate students in 2020. As from 2021 funding year, all the postgraduate students will be expected to apply on the NRF Online Submission System by accessing the link: https://nrfsubmission.nrf.ac.za/, no manual applications will be accepted. Universities will set their own internal cut-off dates for applications and the applicants must abide by those dates.
