> The Mathematics Department of PUC-Rio has an opening for an Assistant

Professors
> of the Department typically teach 7 to 8 hours per week during the
academic
> semesters (March to June and August to November) in two courses, ranging
from basic undergraduate (e.g., calculus and linear algebra) courses to
advanced graduate seminars. Professors are usually assisted by graders
and
> teaching assistants. After the first year professors are also expected
to
> participate in the Department’s administrative affairs (committees,
student
> advising, event organizations, etc).

>
>
> PUC-Rio offers a stimulating research-oriented environment with plenty
of
> academic freedom and excellent working conditions, such as a pleasant,
well-located, and safe campus; administrative flexibility; research
fellowships funded by the university as well as by the Brazilian
government;
> and a Bachelors program that historically attracts excellent students.
>
>
>
> Requirements for candidates
>
> a) A PhD or equivalent degree in Mathematics (researchers with degrees
from
> related fields might eventually also be considered);

>
> c) Aptitude for advising graduate students; and
>
> d) A solid record of producing international-level research.

taught in
> Portuguese; in the absence of that, knowledge of a similar Romance
language
> (e.g., Spanish, French, or Italian) is a plus. A successful candidate
who is
> not ready to teach in Portuguese by August 2011 will be given an
English-language courseload during the August-November 2011 semester
under
> the condition that he or she commits to learning sufficient Portuguese
by
> March 2012.

2011.

most
> three years, after which a successful candidate will be offered a
permanent
> contract. The University offers fringe benefits such as holiday bonuses,
a
> 13th yearly salary, and subsidized health and retirement plans. The
current
> starting monthly salary of an Assistant Professor (level I) is
approximately
> U$4000 (note that living expenses and income tax rates in Brazil are
