Applications are sought for a committed Post-doctoral Research Fellow to work with Dr Chris Brown conducting research for a EPSRC funded project entitled Energise: Refactorings and Skeletons for Energy-Aware Applications on High-Performance Embedded Systems. The primary duties will be to implementing refactorings for target languages such as C; proving general soundness of the refactorings using e.g. dependent types; developing new programming abstractions (skeletons) for abstracting common energy-reducing programming patterns; running experiments; writing proofs of correctness.

The successful applicant will have (or be near to completion of) a PhD in Programming Languages with expertise in formal semantics of programming languages, compilers, program transformation, lightweight formal methods (including, e.g. dependent types) and/or knowledge of parallelism and non-functional properties, including energy.

The post is available on a fixed-term basis for 12 months starting 1st October or as soon as possible thereafter.

Further details of the project can be found by contacting Dr Christopher Brown (cmb21@st-andrews.ac.uk).

Applications are particularly welcome from women, people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented in research posts at the University.

Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the St Andrews experience.
