[TYPES/announce] Postdoc position in parallel/distributed functional programming

[Ryan Newton]

Indiana University invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the
programming languages research cluster (http://lambda.soic.indiana.edu/)
with a possible dual affiliation with the Center for Research on Extreme
Scale Technologies (CREST, http://crest.iu.edu/).

The position is in Prof. Newton's research group and will emphasize
parallel functional programming.  Our group works on all aspects of
parallel programming libraries and languages. One theme is extending and
improving guaranteed-deterministic programming environments.  Typical
research projects include either (1) improvements to the GHC Haskell
compiler, runtime, and library ecosystem or (2) work on domain-specific
languages and compilers, frequently embedded in Haskell, and targeting
backends like CUDA, LLVM, or OpenCL.

Experience with any of the following would be a positive: Haskell
development, GHC internals, compiler construction, FRP or stream
processing, parallel programming and performance tuning, and purely
functional parallelism..

General duties in this postdoctoral position include: software
implementation and empirical evaluation; working with colleagues on large
research infrastructure efforts; writing up and presenting research;
mentoring junior group members; and pursuing new research directions within
the context of overall group aims.

The IU Bloomington School of Informatics and Computing is the first of its
kind and among the largest in the country, with unsurpassed breadth. It
includes the Dept. of Computer Science and Informatics and the Dept. of
Information and Library Science, which comprise over 85 tenure-line
faculty, 900 graduate students, and 1100 undergraduate majors.

Located in the wooded rolling hills of southern Indiana, Bloomington is a
culturally thriving college town with a moderate cost of living and the
amenities for an active lifestyle. IU is renowned for its top-ranked Jacobs
School of Music, high performance computing and networking facilities, and
performing and fine arts.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.  Salary will be
competitive for computer science postdocs in the United States.
*Start date:* September 2015 or later.
*Duration:* variable, but at least one year.

Both inquiries and applications welcome.  An application should consist of
a CV, including publications, and a short written description explaining

references who may be contacted as needed.  All inquiries and application
material should be sent to Ryan Newton (rrnewton at indiana.edu)
