Details: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/description/ENG01832/research-assistant-associate ------------------------------------------------------------ The project has particular emphasis on putting theory into practice, by embedding session types in a range of programming languages and applying them to case studies; or developing the links between session types and other areas of theoretical computer science. The research programme includes collaboration with several companies and organisations. Candidates for the post-doc position will need to have expertise in either: 1. programming language design and implementation; or 2. formal semantics, type theory and concurrency theory Different positions will be suitable for different points on the theory/practice spectrum. We are especially interested in candidates with a combination of theoretical and practical skills. For more details, see http://mrg.doc.ic.ac.uk. The focus of Imperial College London Group is theories and applications of session types which include: -- Go, Rust, TypeScript, Scala, F*, F#, Haskell, OCaml, Java, Erland, MPI-C and Python; -- mechanisation of session types meta-theory (Coq, Isabelle, Agda, etc) (PLDI'21 Zooid, http://mrg.doc.ic.ac.uk/publications/zooid-paper/) -- session types theories, automata theories, game semantics, linear logic; and -- other applications such as blockchains and robotics The candidate will work on POST and/or other related projects -- Stardust (https://epsrc-stardust.github.io/) -- AppControl (https://dsbd-appcontrol.github.io/people.html) The candidate is welcome to discuss the details about the above project(s) with the contact person: Professor Nobuko Yoshida, Imperial College London (n.yosh...@imperial.ac.uk) _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell
