Types.


Imperial College London provides a flexible arrangement to be able to

start and work remotely until we re-open the campus (this depends on

the nationality and current living address).


Please contact with Nobuko Yoshida (n.yoshida at imperial.ac.uk),

Imperial College London if you would like to apply to the position to

have informal discussions. The application deadline is also

extendable.


------------------------------------------------------------


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.


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 are especially interested in

candidates with a combination of theoretical and practical skills.


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


The focus of Imperial College London Group is theories and

applications of (Multiparty) Session Types (JACM,POPL'08)

which include:


-- Go (POPL'19,ICSE'18,POPL'17,CC'16),

   Scala (PLDI'19,ECOOP'17,ECOOP'16), F# (CC'18), Erlang (CC'17),

   Haskell (CC'20,POPL'16), OCaml (SOC), Java (FASE'16,FASE'17),

   MPI-C (FPL'16,OOPSLA'15,CC'15) and Python (FOAC,LMCS,FMSD);


-- session types theories (ESOP'20,POPL'19,ESOP'19,ESOP'16,CONCUR'15),

   automata theories (CAV'19,CONCUR'19,FoSSaCs'17,TACAS'16,CONCUR'15,POPL'15),

   game semantics (POPL'19,FoSSaCs'19),

   Implicit Complexity (LICS'18) and

   linear logic (ESOP'18,FoSSaCs'18,CONCUR'15); or


-- mechanisation of session types meta-theory (Coq, Isabelle, Agda, etc) (TACAS 20)


-- other applications such as blockchains (FSE'19) and robotics (ECOOP'19)


The contact person is


Professor Nobuko Yoshida, Imperial College London
