******************************************************************
*** PhD Position

*** Categories, Coalgebras and Types

*** Mathematically Structured Programming Group

******************************************************************
Applications are invited for PhD study under the supervision of Prof Neil Ghani and Dr Conor McBride on any of the following topics
* Dependently Typed Programming
* Homotopy Type Theory
* Coalgebra
* Category Theory in Computer Science
The position is fully funded for EU students (apologies to non EU-citizens for this ridiculous piece of non-meritocracy) and will last for 3 years.The applicant's motivation must centre on a desire for beautiful mathematics of lasting value. The applicant should also have an innate sense of the wonder of learning allied to the capacity to work hard and achieve their goals.
The Mathematically Structured Programming Group's vision is to use mathematics to understand the nature of computation, and to then turn that understanding into the next generation of programming languages. This reflects the symbiotic relationship between mathematics, programming, and the design of programming languages --- any attempt to sever this connection will diminish each component. In order to achieve these research goals we mainly use ideas from category theory, type theory and functional programming. Besides Professor Neil Ghani and Dr Conor McBride, the group consists of a number of internationally leading researchers including Dr Clemens Kupke, Dr Ross Duncan, Dr Robert Atkey and Dr Fredrick Norvall-Forsberg as well as a number of PhD students.
So, if you are interested in Neil-and-Conor studies, please contact us. Applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis.
