PhD positions available in Birmingham, UK

[Benedikt Ahrens]

Dear all,

We invite applications for PhD study at the University of Birmingham.

We are a group of theoretical computer scientists and mathematicians
who explore fundamental concepts in computation and programming language
semantics. Among our research interests are
category theory,
lambda-calculus and computational effects,
topology,
constructive mathematics,
game semantics, and
program compilation.

Our group currently has 11 permanent staff and 11 PhD students. We have
a weekly seminar, as well as more informal meetings and reading groups.
Information on all of this can be found on our webpage:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/groupings/theory/

Information about PhD applications may be found here:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/admissions/postgraduate-research/

If you are considering applying, please contact any of us. We will be
very happy to discuss the opportunities available.


Best regards,
The Birmingham CS theory group
