Vacancy Description School of Computer Science Salary: £34,304 per annum Start date: 1 October 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter Fixed-term: 12 months Applications are sought for a committed Post-doctoral Research Fellow to work with Dr Chris Brown conducting research for a EPSRC funded project entitled Energise: Refactorings and Skeletons for Energy-Aware Applications on High-Performance Embedded Systems. The primary duties will be to implementing refactorings for target languages such as C; proving general soundness of the refactorings using e.g. dependent types; developing new programming abstractions (skeletons) for abstracting common energy-reducing programming patterns; running experiments; writing proofs of correctness. The successful applicant will have (or be near to completion of) a PhD in Programming Languages with expertise in formal semantics of programming languages, compilers, program transformation, lightweight formal methods (including, e.g. dependent types) and/or knowledge of parallelism and non-functional properties, including energy. The post is available on a fixed-term basis for 12 months starting 1st October or as soon as possible thereafter. Further details of the project can be found by contacting Dr Christopher Brown (cmb21@st-andrews.ac.ukmailto:cmb21@st-andrews.ac.uk).
