Lectureship in logical & semantic foundations of computing, Sheffield (England)

The University of Sheffield is seeking candidates with an outstanding record of scholarship in the logical and semantic foundations of computing, and in particular hardware and software verification. You will work within the Verification Group, a well-established research group in the Department of Computer Science which currently hosts six members of staff and one Research Assistant.

Current research ranges from the mathematical and logical foundations of computing to practical verification methods and tools to support these. Particular strengths of the group include the semantic, algebraic and categorical foundations of concurrent and distributed systems, computational logics, finite model theory and descriptive complexity, formal methods for hardware and software systems, verification of quantitative systems, verification of hybrid and cyber physical systems, verification of multi-core programs and weak memory models, as well as interactive and automated theorem proving. To expand and complement these strengths we encourage applications in any of the fields mentioned above, and beyond.
