Dear All,

I would like to invite applications for a fully-funded PhD position in 
the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham, UK.
The PhD student will work me on topics related to categorical semantics 
of programming languages and computer theorem proving.
Students broadly interested in these fields of research are strongly 
encouraged to apply. Topics of particular interest are:

* Syntax and semantics of type theory
* Formalisation of mathematics in univalent foundations
* Directed type theory
* Algebraic specification of programming languages

Applicants should hold, or be about to obtain, a Masters or Bachelor 
degree in Computer Science or Mathematics.

The PhD position is fully funded, covering tuition fees and a tax-free 
scholarship. Healthcare is provided for free.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me by email for further details:

The theory group at Birmingham's School of Computer Science is very 
active, organising regular seminars and informal meetings. Many relevant 
international events frequently take place in Birmingham such as YaMCATS 
category theory seminar, Midlands Graduate School, and Workshops on 
Univalent Mathematics. For more information see
