Hello,

The Software Reliability and Security Lab at CEA LIST (Paris Saclay, France) is hiring a 2-year postdoctoral researcher to improve the Frama-C runtime verification plug-in E-ACSL.

Frama-C is an opensource framework providing several analyzers for C code. The analyzed programs can be annotated by formal specifications written in the ACSL specification language. E-ACSL is one of the existing Frama-C analyzers. It converts ACSL annotations into C code in order to verify their validity at runtime, when the program is being executed.

The goal of this postdoctoral position is twofolds: on the one hand, the postdoctoral researcher shall propose new compilation schemes to support additional ACSL constructs; on the other hand (s)he shall adapt existing compilation techniques or define new ones in order to optimize the generated code for reducing the time overhead and the memory footprint of the generated program. The work will be guided by and evaluated on case studies providing by a few of our academic and industrial partners.

Knowledge in at least one of the following fields is required:
- OCaml programming (at least, functional programming)
- C programming
- runtime verification
- compilation
- static analysis
- semantics of programming languages
- formal specification
