[TYPES/announce] Postdoctoral position at INRIA Grenoble, France

[Pierre Geneves]

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at INRIA Grenoble, 
France. The appointment will be in the areas of programming languages, 
computational logic, and program analysis and verification. The selected 
candidate will be expected to conduct research on some of the following 
topics:

  * the design of logics for reasoning about programs manipulating 
tree-shaped structures

  * the implementation of satisfiability solvers for such logics, and

  * the use of the implemented systems in building type-checkers and 
reasoners for actual programs.

The WAM project seeks to establish logical foundations and automated 
reasoning techniques with applications concerning, but not limited to, 
static analysis of programs manipulating XML documents, pointer and heap 
analysis, program verification. Information about previous relevant 
research is available online:

The position is under the supervision of Nabil Layaida (INRIA) and 
Pierre Geneves (CNRS). Applicants should have interests in programming 
languages, type theory, and/or mathematical logic, with a concern in the 
intersection of theory and practice. Expertise in the following areas 
are particularly welcomed:
- program analysis
- formal methods
- automated reasoning

The fellowship is offered for a period of up to 16 months and can start 
as early as October 2009.  A prerequisite for employment is a doctoral 
degree in Computer Science or closely related field.

Applications should include:
- detailed curriculum vitae, in pdf format
- copies of relevant publications, or url-pointers to them
- the names of at least 2 referees
- a statement outlining  the applicant's suitability to the project.

Applications should be sent to Nabil Layaida <nabil.layaida at inria.fr> 
and Pierre Geneves <pierre.geneves at .inria.fr>. Informal enquiries about 
the position are welcomed.
