The project has particular emphasis on putting theory into practice,
by embedding session types in a range of programming languages and
applying them to case studies; or developing the links between session
types and other areas of theoretical computer science. The research
programme includes collaboration with several companies and
organisations.

Candidates for the post-doc position will need to have expertise in either:

1. programming language design and implementation; or
2. formal semantics, type theory and concurrency theory

Different positions will be suitable for different points on the
theory/practice spectrum. We are especially interested in candidates
with a combination of theoretical and practical skills.

For more details, see http://mrg.doc.ic.ac.uk.

The focus of Imperial College London Group is theories and
applications of session types which include:

-- Go, Rust, TypeScript, Scala, F*, F#, Haskell, OCaml, Java, Erland,
MPI-C and Python;

-- mechanisation of session types meta-theory (Coq, Isabelle, Agda,
etc) (PLDI'21 Zooid, http://mrg.doc.ic.ac.uk/publications/zooid-paper/)

-- session types theories, automata theories, game semantics,
linear logic; and

-- other applications such as blockchains and robotics
