****************************************************************** *** Lectureship *** *** Mathematically Structured Programming Group *** University of Strathclyde *** ****************************************************************** Applications are invited for lectureship within the MSP group at the University of Strathclyde The applicant's motivation must centre on a desire to discover beautiful mathematics of lasting value. The applicant should also have an innate sense of the wonder of learning allied with the capacity for self-motivation and a track record of academic achievement. The Mathematically Structured Programming Group's vision is to use mathematics to understand the nature of computation, and to then turn that understanding into practical advances within programming languages research. This reflects the symbiotic relationship between mathematics, programming, and the design of programming languages --- we believe that any attempt to sever this connection will diminish each component. In order to achieve these research goals, we mainly use ideas from category theory, type theory, and functional programming. The group consists of a number of internationally leading researchers including Professor Neil Ghani, Dr Patricia Johann, Dr Conor McBride, Dr Peter Hancock, Dr Robert Atkey, and our PhD students. While the lectureship is formally in the area of Program Verification, this is to be interpreted broadly. Very broadly. Anyone interested should in the first instance contact Professor Neil Ghani, whose email address is "neil.ghani at strath.ac.uk" to register interest. Details of the position can be found at http://www.mis.strath.ac.uk/Personnel/open/712012.pdf The closing date for applications is Thursday July 26. Please pass this on to anyone who you think would enjoy the chance to work with us. All the best Neil
