Dear all, I would like to invite applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position at the University of Birmingham, School of Computer Science. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Paige Randall North (Ohio State University) and me on a topic in the area of (homotopy) type theory; details can be discussed. The position is funded by the EPSRC grant "A theory of type theories", PI Benedikt Ahrens. The starting date of the position is somewhat flexible; it should be between late 2019 and mid 2020. How to apply ============ There is no official job opening yet. Interested people are encouraged to contact me by email (b.ahrens@cs.bham.ac.uk) in the first instance to discuss their research interests and details of the position. About Birmingham ================ The School of Computer Science has a large and thriving Theoretical Computer Science research group, with a particular focus on category theory and its applications to the logical foundations of computer science. Among our research interests are: - category theory and higher category theory; - type theory; - homotopy type theory and univalent foundations; - formal proof; - lambda-calculus and computational effects; - topology and domain theory; - constructive mathematics; - quantum computing; - semantics; - program compilation. Our group currently has 12 permanent staff and more than a dozen PhD students. We have a weekly seminar, as well as more informal meetings and reading groups. Information on all of this can be found on our webpage: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/groupings/theory/ We are regularly hosting international events in theoretical computer science in general and type theory in particular; recently, this included CSL 2018, 6WFTop, School and Workshop on Univalent Mathematics, and Midlands Graduate School. Please also distribute this advertisement to others who might be interested. Best wishes, Benedikt [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
