Starting in October 2017, the programming languages group at University of
Freiburg, Germany, has an opening for a research assistant to work with Prof.
Dr. Peter Thiemann. This position can be filled with a graduate working towards
a PhD or with a PostDoc and it involves a light amount of teaching. We welcome
applications of either kind.
RESEARCH
The overall research theme of the group is to explore the boundaries of static
and dynamic checking of program properties, in particular types.
• Theoretical and practical aspects of typed programming, for example
session types, gradual typing, dependent types, type-based program analysis
• Language-based security, in particular hybrid information-flow
enforcement
• Runtime verification and contract checking
We are working in the context of JavaScript, Haskell, OCaml, Scala, and admit
the occasional excursion to Java and Go. We collaborate with leading
researchers worldwide. Check our research webpage
http://proglang.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/research/ or DBLP publication

REQUIREMENTS
• University degree in computer science or closely related field
• Motivation to work on abstract theories and put them in practical
implementations
• Fluent English (speech and writing)
Familiarity with “Types and Programming Languages” and/or “Software
Foundations” is helpful as we expect the candidate to apply similar techniques
and tools.
