Position in Mathematical Logic and Theoretical Computer Science

The St.Petersburg State University invites applications for a full-time 
position of Associate Professor (Docent) in

     Mathematical Logic and Theoretical Computer Science

for advanced teaching within the Department of Mathematics and Computer 
Science.

This position includes teaching both in Russian and in English.

The undergraduate program in Mathematics and TCS is very selective, with 
students being some of the best in the world. In particular, every year 
more winners of the all-Russian mathematical Olympiad are joining our 
program than any other similar program in Russia. The department has 
also graduate programs. The well-known Chebyshev Laboratory is a part of 
our Department.

Applicants are expected to have a strong research record and to be able 
to teach both in Russian and in English. Appointees are expected to 
carry out research of high level, to teach well, and to perform 
customary administrative duties such as advising students, participating 
in committees, organizing admissions, etc. The teaching load is up to 8 
academic hours (= 6 astronomic hours) per week.

The salary level for this position is 189,471 rub. per month.  Initial 
contract is normally signed for a period of up to five years, and can be 
renewed by further 5 year terms.

Prior to the formal application, all applicants are invited to send a 
copy of their CV to Alina Zagorodnyuk <chebyshev.msc at gmail.com> 
mentioning any detail that could be relevant to the work of the 
selection committee, such as, for instance, the names of students they 
supervised, if any, etc.

The minimum requirements for the position are as follows:

- the degree of Ph. D. (foreign) or Cand. Sci. (Russian);
- at least four refereed publications indexed simultaneously in 
MathSciNet and Scopus in 2015-2020;
- at least three years of experience in research or teaching (excluding 
Ph.D. studies but including work on research projects/grants).

Applications and questions on formalities should be sent to personnel 
officer Aurelia Smorodintseva <a.smorodintseva at spbu.ru>. Less formal 
questions should be sent to Alina Zagorodnyuk <chebyshev.msc at gmail.com> 
who can also provide templates for the formal documents to be submitted 
to the personnel officer, so we recommend to contact Alina first and 
then send the official application.

The applications are accepted starting January 11, 2021.
Deadline: February 12, 2021.
Teaching starts: September 1, 2021.
