Dear all, If you are interested in applying for the advertised PhD studentship in functional programming, please note that the closing date is now one week away (9th February). Best wishes, Graham +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Fully-Funded PhD Studentship Functional Programming Lab School of Computer Science University of Nottingham, UK http://tinyurl.com/fplab-phd Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship under the supervision of Prof Graham Hutton, starting on 1st October 2024. The successful applicant will join the Functional Programming Lab, an internationally-leading centre for programming language research. The topic for the studentship is open, but should relate to the research interests of Prof Hutton on the mathematics of program construction. The studentship forms part of the recently-funded EPSRC project on Semantics-Directed Compiler Construction, which seeks to develop new techniques for constructing certified compilers from semantics. The studentship is open to home and international students, is fully-funded for three and a half years, and includes a stipend of £18,622 per year and tuition fees. Applicants are expected to have a first-class Masters or Bachelors degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science and/or Mathematics, and an excellent ability and interest in the mathematical foundations of programming (topics such as logic and semantics), together with experience of programming in a functional language. Further information and advice for prospective applicants is available from http://tinyurl.com/369xwzc7. Funding for this studentship is already in place. To apply, please submit the following items by email to graham.hutton@nottingham.ac.uk: (1) a brief covering letter that describes your reasons for wishing to undertake a PhD and any ideas you have about potential topics; (2) a copy of your CV, including your actual or expected degree class(es) and results of all university examinations; (3) an example of your technical writing, such as a report or dissertation; (4) email addresses for two academic referees. Closing date for applications: Friday 9th February 2024. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ -- Professor Graham Hutton School of Computer Science University of Nottingham, UK http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszgmh This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
