[Apologize for multiple postings.] ================================================================ Call for Expression of Interest for Two Postdoc positions in Programming Language Semantics ================================================================ We are looking for postdocs in the context of the ERC Consolidator Grant “Differential Program Semantics”. Traditionally, program semantics is centered around the notion of program identity, that is to say of program equivalence: a program is identified with its meaning, and programs are considered as equal only if their meanings are the same. DIAPASoN's goal is rather to study differences between programs as a constitutive and informative concept. This is accomplished by generalizing four major frameworks of program semantics, namely logical relations, coinduction, game semantics, and linear logic. The ideal candidate would have experience in: • Program Semantics • Mathematical Logic • Program Verification and in particular in the sub-areas of program semantics cited above. Expertise in all those sub-areas is rare, so candidates who are strong in just some of them are encouraged to apply. Please contact Ugo Dal Lago <ugo.dall...@unibo.it> if you have more questions about the project, the required background, Italy, or the positions themselves. The first round of applications will be accepted until April 23rd 2021. Positions are for 2 years, and could start at any moment between August/September 2021 and February 2022. More information about the DIAPASoN project can be found here: http://diapason.unibo.it To apply, please send the following documents to ugo.dall...@unibo.it: • Your CV; • A brief research statement; • The names and email addresses of at least two scientists able and willing to provide a reference for you.
