PhD Studentship in Functional Programming

School of Computer Science University of Nottingham, UK

Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship in the Functional Programming Lab in the School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham, starting on 1st October 2011, under the supervision of Prof Graham Hutton.

The suggested topic for the studentship is to develop a practical implementation of the worker/wrapper transformation, a simple but powerful unifying paradigm for program optimisation, but other ideas for possible topics are welcome too. The studentship is for three and a half years, and includes a maintenance grant of 13,590 UK pounds per year, and tuition fees.

Applicants for the position will require a first-class Honours degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science and/or Mathematics, some experience in functional programming, and an aptitude for mathematical subjects. Additional desirable attributes include a Masters degree, and/or some experience in programming language semantics, implementation and optimisation. Due to the nature of the funding, the position is only open to UK citizens, or EU citizens who have resided in the UK for the last three years.

The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Prof Graham Hutton in the FP Lab in Nottingham, a leading centre for research on functional programming. The group currently comprises 5 academic staff, 1 research fellow, and 10 PhD students.

In order to apply, please submit the following to Prof Graham Hutton (graham.hutton@nottingham.ac.uk) by 24th June 2011: an up-to-date copy of your CV (including the results of all your University examinations to date) along with a brief covering letter that describes your experience in functional programming, your reasons for wishing to pursue a PhD in this area, and any ideas you have regarding possible research directions.

Closing date for applications: 24th June 2011.
