Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

The Department of Computer Science seeks to employ a senior researcher to work on a project in the area of Concurrent, Distributed and Quantum Programming (UKRI/EPSRC/ERC), under the direction of PI Professor Nobuko Yoshida. The post is full-time, fixed term position, tenable immediately, and will be available until the end of March 2026, subject to satisfactory review. The position will be based within the Department’s offices in central Oxford. 

The aims of the projects are:

  • To develop theory of session types (including mechanisation by, e.g. Coq and Isabelle, automata theory, verification, security analysis, model checking, process algebra, semantics, and logic)
  • To design and implement programming languages and systems with session types; OR 
  • To study quantum computing using programming languages or concurrency theory techniques 

A key objective is either to design and implement programming API or verification tools for concurrent and distributed systems and/or investigate theory of session types; or to study quantum computing using session types or concurrency theory.

The applicants are welcome to contact with nobuko.yoshida@cs.ox.ac.uk for further clarifications and questions.  

Candidates will be expected to have a PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics and/or Engineering; and/or relevant research experience.
