[TYPES/announce] Postdoc position in Formal Methods, Programming Languages, and Systems, at the University of Salzburg, Computational Systems Group
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] We are happy to announce an opening for a postdoc position within the Computational Systems Group at the Department of Computer Sciences, University of Salzburg, The position is for up to 2.5 years with an initial contract for 1 year. The ideal candidate is interested in one or more (ideally all) of the areas: Formal Methods, Programming Languages, and Systems. The position is associated with an Austria-wide project "Teaching Digital Thinking" financed by the ministry of education related to teaching computer science content to non-computer-science students and understanding what computer science students could gain from other areas. We expect some help from you regarding the project, but this is not supposed to be too much work. We also expect you to engage in a reasonably small amount of teaching. Other than that, we expect you to collaborate with us on research in one of the mentioned areas. You would also have the freedom to conduct independent research. Please contact Christoph Kirsch (c...@cs.uni-salzburg.at) and/or Ana Sokolova (a...@cs.uni-salzburg.at) for more information. The official opening (in German) is available at: https://www.uni-salzburg.at/fileadmin/multimedia/Serviceeinrichtung%20Personal/documents/A_0042_Postdoc_CoWi_II.pdf .

CSL-LICS Affiliated Workshop July 17-18, 2014, Vienna, Austria http://vsl2014.at/psc/ === Highlights === - PSC welcomes submissions of short abstracts: 1-2 pages in LNCS format - Invited speakers: Ulrich Berger and Martin Escardo - Post-proceedings are planned for a journal special issue === Important Dates === 6 May 2014 . Abstract submission (extended) 16 May 2014 Notification to authors 16 June 2014 ... Camera-ready abstracts for electronic proceedings 17-18 July 2014 PSC in Vienna === Scope === The extraction of computational content from proofs has a long tradition in logic, but usually depends on a concrete encoding that allows us to turn proofs into algorithms. A recent trend in this field is the departure from such encoding which not only makes it simpler to represent the mathematical content, but also makes the extracted computational content encoding independent. This shift in focus allows us to focus on what is relevant: the computational aspects of proofs and the specification (not representation) of the structures involved. We now have growing evidence that this move from representations (e.g. the signed digit representation of the reals) to axioms (e.g. of the real numbers) is possible. This development largely parallels the step from assembler to high level languages in programming. As a by-product this move has already opened up the possibility to gain computational information from axiomatic proofs in more abstract and genuinely structural areas of mathematics such as algebra and topology. === Invited Speakers === Ulrich Berger (Swansea University, UK) Martin Escardo (University of Birmingham, UK) === Submissions === We welcome 1-2-page abstracts presenting (finished, ongoing, or if clearly stated even published) work on proof, structure, and computation.
