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.

by May 8 for full consideration, though applications will be considered
until the position is filled.
