Research Associate Position Available (Post-Doc, Functional Programming Systems) Applications are invited for a fixed-term research position at the Department of Computer Science, University of York, UK. This position is for a post-doctoral researcher to investigate the use of functional programming systems in grid computing. Specifically, the post is available in connection with a recently awarded EPSRC grant: "A Lazy Polytypic Grid: Generic Data Visualization Methods That Adapt to Resources Available". The project is a collaboration between the University of Leeds (grant holder: David Duke) and the University of York (grant holder: Colin Runciman). A post-doctoral researcher is being appointed at each site. The researcher at Leeds is expected to specialise in data visualisation and the researcher at York in functional programming systems, but the intention is that work will be genuinely collaborative. Both departments are active centres of research; for further information about them see http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/ and http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/. The essential qualifications for the post are these: * a PhD in functional programming systems or equivalent research experience; * well-developed skills in both the implementation and application of functional languages; * an aptitude for working collaboratively in a small team with researchers from different domains of expertise; * strong communication skills for written and oral presentation of ideas and results within and beyond the team. Other desirable qualifications include: * fluency in the Haskell programming language; * knowledge of data visualisation methods; * experience with grid computing. Starting salary will be up to 27,116 pounds per annum and the position is available for up to 3 years. For details of how to apply please email jobs@york.ac.uk quoting reference number CR05305 or see http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/persnl/jobs/. The closing date is 31 August 2005. For informal enquiries, or more details of the technical aims of the project, you are welcome to contact me directly: e-mail Colin.Runciman at cs.york.ac.uk or telephone +44 1904 432740. Please note, however, that I am due to be away for the first 10 days and the last 10 days of August.
