Great hiring opportunities for female researchers at the University of Groningen

Jorge A. Pérez asked me to post this very interesting opportunity for tenure-track positions at the University of Groningen, targeted to talented female researchers (see www.rug.nl/rff). Feel free to contact Jorge if you work in areas related to "Fundamental CS" (using the terminology in the call) and are interested in applying.
Rosalind Franklin Fellowships at the University of Groningen

The University of Groningen (The Netherlands) initiated the prestigious Rosalind Franklin Fellowship programme to promote the advancement of talented international researchers at the highest levels of the institution. The ambitious programme has been running since 2007 and has financed over 90 Fellows.

The Rosalind Franklin Fellowship programme is aimed at women in industry, academia or research institutes who have a PhD and would like a career as full professor in a European top research university. The Fellowship is only awarded to outstanding researchers. New Fellows are given:

• A tenure track position to work towards full professorship within a period of ten years;
• Budget for a PhD student to enable them to make a flying start.

Successful candidates will be expected to establish an independent, largely externally funded research programme in collaboration with colleagues at
our University and elsewhere.

The University of Groningen has 13 tenure track positions available in this programme, currently co-funded by the European Union.
Within these, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMNS) has five Rosalind Franklin Fellowships to offer, including positions on

• Fundamental Computer Science (Data Management, Theory of Computing, Algorithms, Networks, Security)
• Artificial Intelligence (logic, neuromorphic computing, cognitive modelling or robotics)
• Fundamental Mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Analysis), Mathematical Data Analysis, Complex Systems

Ambitious female academics are invited to apply for these positions before February 1, 2017.

More information about the positions (including eligibility conditions and conditions of employment) is available on:
