[TYPES/announce] fully funded PhD position on verification of industrial robots at University of Sheffield -- application deadline coming soon (Jan. 13)

[Andrei Popescu]

Greetings,

This fast approaching deadline could be of interest to UK or EU
residents currently looking for a PhD position and willing to start in
mid February. It is an opportunity to do high impact verification
research in an excellent academic environment. Background in
robotics is not required. The program is for 3.5 years, with no
teaching obligations. There is the possibility to work remotely until
the pandemic is over.

The PhD will be supervised by myself (https://www.andreipopescu.uk/)
in collaboration with experts from Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing
Research Centre (https://www.amrc.co.uk/). So far, my students have
published in top tier conferences such as CAV, LICS, ICFP, IJCAR, POPL
and Oakland S&P on the topics of their PhD and MSc dissertations.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
