Full-Time Academic Position, University of Chile

by Alexandre Bergel

Dear All, We have an open academic position. Full-Time Academic Position Computer Science Department, University of Chile http://www.dcc.uchile.cl The Computer Science Department of the University of Chile (DCC) is offering a full-time permanent position to carry out research and teaching, at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The DCC is the leading Computer Science Department in Chile, and one of the most active in Latin America. It pioneered the use of Unix and the adoption of the Internet in Chile. Today, it has 22 full-time professors, 10 of which come from Argentina, Uruguay, Belgium, France, and Ireland. We carry out high-quality research, publishing frequently in the most prestigious international conferences and journals. The DCC is in charge of the undergraduate Computer Science program within the Engineering Faculty of the University of Chile, reaching a thousand students in the first year of Engineering, and taking care of the CS specialization from the third year onward for over two hundreds students. Our MSc and PhD programs attract the best students from Latin America, with currently around fifty students in each program. The DCC offers newcomers an individual office and necessary equipment, as well as a starting grant for initiating their research activities; further funding is then obtained permanently upon publications. This is usually complemented with funds from a personal research project obtained from Conicyt, the national research agency, and/or with funds from larger collaborative projects. An assistant professor can supervise students of any level and have a light administrative load. Professors in our department are expected to teach three courses per year; typically one of these courses is an elective that the professor can define according to his/her interests. The salary provided by the University is very competitive, and depends on the ranking (assistant, associate, full); it is complemented with research projects. The successful candidate should be an active researcher with a PhD in Computer Science (or about to obtain it before starting the position). We are interested in any area of Computer Science, and both junior and senior researchers are welcome to apply. The candidate will be evaluated on the basis of both research and teaching activities, impact, as well as vision for the future. Important Dates We accept applications until November 30, 2016. The expected starting date is March 1, 2017 (August 2017 at the latest). Location The DCC is located in Santiago de Chile. Santiago is the capital and largest city in Chile, with a lively cultural scene and delectable cuisine. It is located at the foothills of the Andes, with over 300 days of sun per year, and both ski slopes and the Pacific coast at a 1-hour drive. Santiago is well-connected through direct flights to major hubs in both Europe and the USA. Chile is a country with a lot to offer especially to nature lovers, with over 4,300 km of seashore and mountains, filled with stunning landscapes and national parks stretching from Patagonia to the Atacama desert.

I meant to add, in practice what I find happened is that I use Spotter to do initial search for implementors, then I randomly select onne of the so that I can do ctrl-M to get to the ImplementorsOf dialog.

Re: [Pharo-users] Why Pharo?

by Dimitris Chloupis

Wow I am surprised C++ is so popular "* The larger the code base, the less contributors and activity." sounds reasonable but I will assume here that larger code base means more users since its more likely to have more features. But for contributing to code yeah people tend to avoid complex projects, obviously its far easier to contribute in something much simpler. However large size is an inevitable outcome you can only postpone it with clean ups unless of course the project dies in the process.

Re: [Pharo-users] Why Pharo?

by Dimitris Chloupis

yes all I did is to open the sources file in a text editor and see which one was the last line, that means it includes empty lines too. So 500k sound normal to me. Personally as a user I rarely care about the size because I rarely care to modify the existing image . For me its more important to have more features that make my work easier. Also bare in mind in case of Ruby as with Python, that there is A LOT of C involved which is a very verbose language and of course that includes VM and low level parts that in the case of Pharo are not included in the image.

Slides 5, 8-10 provide an interesting perspective on project size http://www.slideshare.net/blackducksoftware/open-source-by-the-numbers and interesting conclusions on slide 17 * The larger the code base, the less contributors and activity. * The "most likely to succeed" -- are still small enough for people joining them to have an impact. where <1MLOC seems fine, and also the accessibility of whole system makes it easier for people to have an impact. cheers -ben On Sun, Sep 25, 2016 at 9:45 PM, Tudor Girba <tudor(a)tudorgirba.com> wrote: > Hi, > >> On Sep 25, 2016, at 2:01 PM, Dimitris Chloupis <kilon.alios(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Totally agree with the slides apart from "Pharo is Small" , the syntax may be but the whole environment last time I checked was 700k lines of code >> which is huge for a dynamic language.
