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:
     http://wam.inrialpes.fr/web-solver/webinterface.html
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 soon as possible, depending on the candidate availability.  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>
