title: Two new postdoc positions at Imperial College!
title: One new postdoc position at Imperial College!
---
We are seeking two outstanding postdocs (one theoretical, one
more practical) with strong interests in the formal specification and
verification of concurrent and distributed systems to join the Program
Specification and Verification Group, led by Professor Philippa Gardner,
at Imperial College London.
We are seeking one outstanding postdoc to work on reasoning about concurrent programs.
We are looking for either a theorist to work on the foundations of concurrent reasoning
or a practitioner to work on the specification, verification and testing of file system code.
These positions will be funded as part of <a href="https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/rems/"
The position will be with the Program Specification and Verification Group,
led by Professor Philippa Gardner, and will be funded as part of <a href="https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/rems/"
target="_blank"> "REMS: Rigorous Engineering of Mainstream Systems"</a>, a 6-year
EPSRC-funded programme grant for £5.6 million between Cambridge, Edinburgh and Imperial,
which finishes in 2019.
Concurrent programs are notoriously difficult to get right when it
comes to specification and verification. At
Imperial, we have considerable expertise in specifying concurrent
libraries and verifying concurrent programs. In particular, our
recent work has been focussed on the extension of concurrent separation
logic to handle abstraction, abstract atomicity and fault
tolerance. We have applied this reasoning to, for example, concurrent
indexes (B-trees and java.util.concurrent skip lists), the POSIX file
system and an ARIES database recovery algorithm.
Our immediate research aims are to develop the fundamental principles
underlying reasoning about concurrent systems, to extend the reasoning
to distributed systems, and to test the reasoning on key applications
such as databases, file systems and data centres.
Please take a look at our [Concurrency web page](/research/concurrency.html) for more details
and do not hesitate to contact [Philippa][1] if you are interested in one of these postdoc
positions.
A full advert will follow shortly, but in the meantime, please take a look at our
[Concurrency web page](/research/concurrency.html) for more details
and do not hesitate to contact [Philippa][1] if you are interested in this postdoc
position.
