We are looking for an academic with expertise in the mathematics of computer science to carry out research, teach and help with the running of the department.
We're particularly looking for individuals with research interests in mathematical logic, the theory of programming languages or computer assisted reasoning.
You will be part of the Mathematical Foundations of Computation research group, within the Department of Computer Science.
Interviews will be held between 7th - 9th May 2024.
About the Mathematical Foundations of Computation group
The Mathematical Foundations of Computation group at the University of Bath is a leading centre for developing the mathematics of computer science, with a dual focus on Logic and Semantics and on Computer Algebra.
The Logic and Semantics team are well known for the deep inference project (Guglielmi), for work on lambda calculi and proof nets (Heijltjes), denotational semantics (McCusker, Laird) and applied proof theory (Powell).
In Computer Algebra (Bradford, Davenport, Vorobjov) a major focus is the technique of cylindrical algebraic decomposition, which can be used to tackle quantifier elimination problems and satisfiability modulo theories, with many applications in verification.
The group's theoretical work has been honoured with prizes (IEEE LICS Kleene award; IEEE LICS Test of Time Award) and their computer algebra algorithms have been incorporated in the Maple tool.
The group has strong international connections and is supported by an excellent team of PhD students and research associates.
