Radboud University
Nijmegen is situated
in the oldest city in the Netherlands.
It has nine faculties and enrols over 17,500 students in 107 study programmes.
The Faculty of Science at Radboud University consists of seven research institutes,
including the Institute for Mathematics,
Astrophysics, and Particle Physics (IMAPP),
and the Institute for Computing and Information Science (ICIS).
Research in non-classical logic and its interaction with applications in
computer and information science is strongly represented locally and
nationally. The group has close ties with the ICIS research groups in Foundations and in Digital Security. At the national level the
group collaborates with algebraists and logicians, notably in Leiden, Utrecht, and at ILLC and CWI
in Amsterdam.
.
In
teaching, the algebra and logic group is part of the Mathematics, Physics, and
Astronomy Teaching Institute (WiNSt) and as such it provides high quality teaching of
core and service courses in all branches of undergraduate mathematics as well
as advanced courses and a
Master
track in Algebra and Logic. In addition, a new Radboud
University Research Master program in the Mathematical Foundations of Computer
Science is being set up jointly with computer science. The faculty as a
whole and the mathematics department in particular are enthusiastically
involved in outreach and actively recruit students through programs with
schools.
The salary
of an assistant professor varies from a minimum of 3.195,--
