The Programming Languages Group of Ghent University (UGent) invites applicants for a PhD position on the project Reasoning about Coroutines under the direction of Tom Schrijvers. The project concerns reasoning techniques (like type systems and program analysis) for coroutines in its many forms (like delimited continuations and effect handlers). It is conducted in collaboration with the declarative languages group of KU Leuven university and our international partners. We seek applicants at an international level of excellence. As a successful applicant, you have a master degree in Computer Science or equivalent. Ideally, you also have a strong, documented interest in doing research. Strong problem-solving and programming skills are essential. Prior knowledge of functional programming, logic programming, type systems or program analysis are an advantage. The PhD position is for 4 years and starts between January and October 2014. The position is fully funded by the Fund for Scientific Research Flanders (FWO). The salary is compatible with other Belgian PhD rates and among the better ones in Europe and abroad. You will become part of UGent's dynamic and growing Programming Languages Group.
