Closing date for applications: 14 October 2020

The Programming Languages and Systems (PLAS) research group spans the
breadth and depth of practical and theoretical aspects of programming
languages and system building related to languages. Our work goes across
paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic) and is
complemented by our systems research in concurrency, relaxed memory,
verified compilation, verification, language prototypes, garbage
collection, and tools. All our work is linked by a shared vision of the
power and impact of programming languages on the rest of Computer Science.
The PLAS group at Kent has a long history of contributions to the field and
continues to be a hotbed of programming language research in the South East
of England:

Overlooking the city centre, and with 125 nationalities represented, the

surrounding region combines an attractive and affordable environment,
excellent schools, and fast transport links to London and mainland Europe.
