The Programming Languages and Verification Group at the University of
Colorado Boulder (CUPLV) is looking for exceptional candidates for a
postdoctoral research associate in the area of program analysis and program
synthesis.

The position is on the Fixr project, a large project examining approaches
to automatically mine, understand, and transfer bug fixes in large
application frameworks, such as Android.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in the area of programming
languages, software engineering and/or formal methods, as well as an
enthusiasm for mentoring junior researchers.

The postdoctoral researcher would collaborate with Profs. Bor-Yuh Evan
Chang, Sriram Sankaranarayanan, and Pavol Cerny and have the opportunity to
lead this ambitious project that combines program analysis, probabilistic
reasoning, and program synthesis.

The position is for two years, with a possible extension for additional
years. A transition plan to a research assistant professor position is
possible for highly-qualified candidates. While not required, teaching
opportunities will also be available. Compensation is highly competitive
and commensurate with experience.

To apply, please send an email to Bor-Yuh Evan Chang (b...@cs.colorado.edu)
with a CV and contact information for two to three references. Please apply
by May 8 for full consideration, though applications will be considered
until the position is filled.

Our group has active projects in areas such as the following:
   - program analysis
   - model checking
   - verification and synthesis of hybrid and embedded systems
   - program synthesis

For more information about our projects, please see:

I am pleased to announce the following PhD position in a types-related 
area.


---

A position is available for a PhD student at the University of Ljubljana 
in the general research area of modelling and reasoning about 
computational effects. The precise topic is flexible, and will be 
decided in combination with the student. The PhD will be supervised by 
Alex Simpson who is Professor of Computer Science at the Faculty of 
Mathematics and Physics: http://www.fmf.uni-lj.si/si/imenik/32646/


The position will be funded by the EffMath project (see 
http://math.andrej.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/description.pdf). Full 
tuition  stipend will be provided.


Applicants should have a master's (or equivalent) degree in either 
mathematics or computer science, and possess some background knowledge 
relevant to the project area. No knowledge of the Slovene language is 
required.


The student will officially enrol in October 2015 at the University of 
Ljubljana, which is the largest university in Slovenia. There is an 
active research group in foundations of computer science at the Faculty 
of Mathematics and Physics, which includes Andrej Bauer, Matija Pretnar, 
Alex Simpson and a number of PhD students.


As a city, Ljubljana is a beautiful and lively cultural centre, and 
Slovenia is a welcoming and picturesque country.


Interested candidates should contact me by email 
(alex.simp...@fmf.uni-lj.si) as soon as possible. Please include a short 
CV and a statement of interest.
