I am seeking applications for a postdoctoral scholar at the University
of Iowa, starting in October of 2025. We study extensibility and
modularity in high-level typed functional programming languages,
particularly Haskell. The post-doctoral scholar will contribute to an
NSF-funded project exploring a new semantic foundation for type classes
and type families in Haskell. Their work may include formalizing the new
approach in Lean 4, implementing it in GHC, and evaluating that
implementation.<br><br>A PhD in computer science or a closely related field, with a strong background in programming languages and logic, is required.<br><br>The ideal candidate would also have:<br><br>- Knowledge of and experience with Haskell programming, including the use of type classes and type families<br>- Experience with mechanized theorem proving in Lean 4<br>- Good English writing and speaking skills<br>- Ability to work in a collaborative environment<br>- A strong commitment to research excellence<br><br>This
is a one year position with a starting salary of $62,232, but may be
extended based upon performance and the
continued availability of funding. The position will start in October 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter), and will remain open until

post-doctoral scholar will join the Computational Logic Center (CLC)
within the department of computer science. The CLC performs research
across programming languages, formal verification, and automated
reasoning, and includes Katherine Kosaian
