This project brings together the open-source computational mathematics ecosystem – and in particular LinBox, MPIR, SageMath, GAP, PARI/GP, LMFDB, Singular, MathHub, and the IPython/Jupyter interactive computing environment. – toward building a flexible toolkit for Virtual Research Environments for mathematics. Led by Université Paris-Sud, this project involves about 50 people spread over 15 sites in Europe, with a total budget of about 7.6 million euros.

The developer will work within one of the largest teams of SageMath and PARI/GP developers, composed essentially of researchers in mathematics and computer science, at the Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique and in nearby institutions such as the Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux and INRIA Bordeaux.

Comments

:warning: This is not a postdoc position. While side research will be welcome, and a few tasks may possibly lead to some research problems in computer science, the core tasks will be pure development. Candidates wishing to pursue an academic research career in the long run should consider twice whether this opportunity is adequate for them.
