PhD student position in logic & verification, London (England)

A PhD studentship in the area of logic and verification is available at UCL's PPLV group. The studentship is aligned with the IRIS project and will be supervised by Professor David Pym and Dr. James Brotherston. The area of the studentship is in logic and its application to program and systems verification, with a particular interest in the development and application of logical tools based on bunched logic, separation logic, and concurrent separation logic (and related ideas) and their use to reason about the correctness of interfaces between programs, systems, and organizations. The project may range from theoretical work in logic (semantics and proof theory) through the theory of system modelling tools to the design and implementation of modelling and verification tools.

Candidates should normally have or be about to complete a Master's level qualification in mathematics or computer science, with a strong component in logic or theoretical computer science.
