[DMANET] Professor and Docent positions, St.Petersburg State University

The St.Petersburg State University seeks to hire full professors and
associate professors (docents) for teaching in the new mathematics and
theoretical computer science program. The scientific council of this
program is headed by Stanislav Smirnov. Eight positions are available:
* 1 full professor in mathematical logic, theoretical computer
science, and discrete mathematics,
* 1 docent (associate professor) in mathematical logic, theoretical
computer science, and discrete mathematics,
* 3 full professors in mathematics,
* 3 docents (associate professors) in mathematics.

Applicants are expected to have a strong research record. They should
be able to teach in Russian (teaching experience in English is an
advantage). The class load is expected to be 6 academic hours per week
for professors, 8 academic hours per week for docents. The admission
to the program is limited to 45 bright students per year, 30% of
current first-year students are math Olympiad winners.

The salary is lower bounded by guaranteed minimum of 162,240 rub/month
for full professors and by 121,980 rub/month for docents, there is no
specific upper bound: actual salary is determined based on the
