Oxford Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time €45,585 - €54,395

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. You will possess a strong experience in Computing in general, especially around either Theoretical Computer Science, Programming Languages or Hardware Systems. Excellent communication skills are also required, including the ability to write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings. Willingness to collaborate with others and work effectively as a member of a team is essential.We would particularly welcome applications from women and black and minority ethnic applicants who are currently under-represented within the Computer Science Department.

All applicants must complete an application form and submit a CV and supporting statement. The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Friday, 5 th July 2024. Interviews are expected to be held on 15 th or 16 th July 2024.
