Postdoc position in Santiago

by Alexandre Bergel

Dear Friends and Colleagues, The Chilean research agency will soon open its postdoc program. Doctors in Computer Science who want to get a rich experience are encouraged to apply. Working at the DCC: ************************ The position will have to be carried out at the DCC, University of Chile. No teaching duty is expected from you. Research topics are broad: Testing, Code execution profiling, Visualization, programming languages, Domain Specific Languages, Programming environments, Modeling, Smalltalk, .... Yes, we are open minded people :-) The postdoc will be inserted in the Pleiad laboratory, meaning she/he will have to interact with our PhD students, help us to guide smart students and engineers, eat chocolate with us. Mini FAQ: ************************ - Do I need to know Spanish to apply? No, knowing Spanish is not mandatory at all. Thanks to the Chilean friendliness, even with a deeply broken Spanish coupled with a heavy accent you will have no problem to integrate. - How long this position is for? You can stay with us up to 3 years with this position. The DCC is growing, meaning there is perspective to get a permanent position (Assistant Professor). - How often can I expect to return home? This essentially depends on your productivity. Santiago is only 1 night away from Paris: board-in, eat, sleep, board-out, welcome home. - What does it mean to live in Santiago? If you like sun, fresh fruits, (very) friendly people, high mountains, glaciers, nature, good wine, sushis, exotic places, ... then you will feel happy. Contact: ************************ If you have questions, then you can directly contact the author of this email (http://bergel.eu) or meet us at esug, stic, ecoop, esec/fse Links: ************************ http://www.conicyt.cl/fondecyt/2013/03/15/concurso-postdoctorado-2014/ http://pleiad.cl http://objectprofile.com http://bergel.eu -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

Re: [Esug-list] GSoC deadline passed, record number of ideas collected

by Carla F. Griggio

This is A-MA-ZING! I feel so proud to see how ESUG's GSOC keeps growing :D I also noticed that many new students entered the GSOC mailing list even before having an ideas page, and that some of last year students now are mentors. A cool thing: I've been looking for ideas for other GSOC organisations, and it's not been easy to find so many 2013 ideas. I've noticed that many organisations plan to apply to GSoC but they are not collecting ideas or discussing about it publicly. So the fact that ESUG has been doing this on the mailing lists make all of this "googlable" ;) So students will find us :) On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 8:06 PM, Janko Mivšek <janko.mivsek(a)eranova.si>wrote: > Dear Smalltalkers, > > Serge and me just submitted the application for the GSoC (see its copy > here: http://gsoc2013.esug.org/application) now let we wait finger > crossed to the Monday 8.April when accepted organizations will be > announced. > > But we have a good chance thanks to all of you spend a time to prepare > the record number of ideas: 44, which is way over last year 25! > > Note also that you can still propose an project idea, there is two more > weeks or so for that, but we need a solid list of ideas at that time for > Google guys to see what we are really capable :) > > While idea authors please recheck that your idea is properly put on > http://gsoc2013.esug.org/ideas.

by Janko Mivšek

Dear Smalltalkers, Serge and me just submitted the application for the GSoC (see its copy here: http://gsoc2013.esug.org/application) now let we wait finger crossed to the Monday 8.April when accepted organizations will be announced. But we have a good chance thanks to all of you spend a time to prepare the record number of ideas: 44, which is way over last year 25! Note also that you can still propose an project idea, there is two more weeks or so for that, but we need a solid list of ideas at that time for Google guys to see what we are really capable :) While idea authors please recheck that your idea is properly put on http://gsoc2013.esug.org/ideas. For any mistake I apologize in advance! Thanks therefore again to all, now a week and so a rest!

These tool give for each process the amount of CPU and memory it consumes. Unfortunately, Smalltalk does not have such a tool. Pharo and VisualWorks offers the process browser, which is a rather primitive. No indication about the resource consumption is given.
