Postdoctoral positions in stochastic model checking, Rennes (France)

Postdoc (s) in stochastic model checking at INRIA Rennes.
--------------------------------------------------------

Subject 1: The objective of the position is to develop new techniques to 
reason on Systems of Systems. The main task of the postdoc will be to 
propose new specification languages for such systems as well as new 
statistical model checking techniques for verifying their properties.

Subject 2: The objective of the position is to develop new statistical 
model checking algorithms for planning and devices for assisted living.

Both positions are funded by two new EU projects and take place in a large 
effort of INRIA to develop new statistical model checking techniques/tools 
for the design of large size systems (other projects are already funding 4 
researchers working full time on the topic). In addition to working on the 
projects' topics, the postdoc s will also interact with other researchers 
in the institute and are encouraged to investigate additional research 
topics.

Profile: Applicants should have a doctoral degree in computer science and 
a strong background in mathematics (statistics, probability theory). 
Candidates should also be familiar with probabilistic/statistical model 
checking, compositional reasoning, performance analysis, and timed 
systems. Excellent programming skills are a plus.

Positions: Both positions are available starting January 2012 for a 
maximal duration of 24 months.

How to apply: Send a CV (with academic background, list of publications, 
and contact references) and a motivation letter to Axel.Legay@inria.fr
