- Contribute to the dissemination of the team results in top scientific and technical venues
- Contribute to the development of the team
#### Qualifications
- PhD or more than three years of experience in a research-intensive team
- Ability to develop in OCaml or functional languages
- Knowledge of formal methods or language semantics
- Knowledge of the C language and ability to quickly grasp new ones
#### Application
This position will be filled as soon as possible. Every potential candidate feeling they could fit the description are welcome to contact us or apply by emailing the persons indicated below.
