[TYPES/announce] A Postdoc position in Imperial College London

[Yoshida, Nobuko]

Department of Computing, Imperial College London

Research Associate (Post-doc, Full Time) £36,070 to £43,350 per annum

Fixed-term: the starting date: as soon as possible
                    the ending date: 19 May 2020

Professor Nobuko Yoshida, Imperial College London

A post is funded by EPSRC, the UK science funding agency and the
titles of the projects are "From Data Types to Session Types: A Basis
for Concurrency and Distribution" and "Application Customisation:
Enhancing Design Quality and Developer Productivity".

The goal is to further develop the theory and practice of session
types for structuring concurrent and distributed software.

The project has particular emphasis on putting theory into practice,
by embedding session types in a range of programming languages and
applying them to case studies; or developing the links between
session types and other areas of theoretical computer science. The
research programme includes collaboration with several companies and
organisations: Amazon, Cognizant, Red Hat, ThoughtWorks, as well as
November Group LLC and Weaveworks.

The focus of Imperial College London Group is theories and
applications of (Multiparty) Session Types (JACM,POPL'08), which include:

-- Erlang (CC'17), Go (CC'16,POPL'17), Haskell (POPL'16), Scala
(ECOOP'16), Java (FASE'16,FASE'17), MPI (OOPSLA'15,CC'15), C (FPL'16)
and Python (FOAC,LMCS,FMSD); or

-- automata/model checking (POPL'15,CONCUR'15,TACAS'16,FoSSaCs'17),
linear logic (CONCUR'15) and bisimulations (CONCUR'15,ESOP'16,LMCS)

For more details, see http://mrg.doc.ic.ac.uk<http://mrg.doc.ic.ac.uk/>

Candidates for the post-doc position will need to have expertise in
either:

1. programming language design and implementation; or
2. formal semantics, type theory and concurrency theory

Different positions will be suitable for different points on the
theory/practice spectrum. We will be especially interested in
candidates with a combination of theoretical and practical skills.
