This position may be of at most peripheral interest to readers of the
Haskell mailing list, but it may not. I would like to hire a
research-staff member to help build a C-- compiler, using the
functional language Objective Caml. Experience with compiler
construction using Haskell would be more than ample qualification for
the position, and once we have the new compiler, the very first thing
we want to do is target GHC to it---so there is a Haskell connection.
I hope you or a friend may be interested in this position.

Staff Position / Programming Languages and Compilers / Harvard University
The Computer Science faculty of the Division of Engineering and
Applied Sciences at Harvard University has an opening for a research
staff member in the area of programming languages and compilers. The
staff member will have primary responsibility for implementing Quick
C--, a new compiler for the C--. More information is available at
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/qc--.
Interested candidates must have compiler-construction experience,
preferably in a setting where retargetability has been important.
Interest in or experience with functional languages and/or literate
programming will be major pluses. If desired, the staff member will
have the opportunity to write papers for publication, but this is not
a requirement of the position.
The position is intended to be a long-term position, but it is
contingent on the availability of funding. Funding for the first year
is guaranteed; future funding will depend on results. The target
start date is November 1, 1999, but applications will be accepted
until a suitable candidate is found.
Applicants should provide a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the
names and contact information for three or more references. The cover
letter should highlight your relevant experience and describe your
professional goals and interests. Please send all materials to:
