Tenure or tenure-track position in Mathematical Logic and Foundations, State College PA (U.S.A.)

Dear Friends and Collegues,

This year our Department of Mathematics here at the Pennsylvania State
University is seeking to fill two faculty positions.  One of the areas
to be emphasized is Logic and Foundations!

In addition, we usually hire some postdocs.  Some of these 3-year
positions are known as S. Chowla Research Assistant Professorships and
are very desirable.

The relevant web page is http://www.math.psu.edu/hiring/.  Here are
some excerpts from that page:

    emphasis for hiring are Dynamical Systems and its applications;
    Geometry, including algebraic geometry; Logic and
    Foundations. However, outstanding candidates from all areas of
    mathematics will be considered. A Ph.D. degree or its equivalent is
    required.

    Online application via www.mathjobs.org is strongly
    preferred. Review of applications will begin November 23, 2009 and
