The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, invites applications for PhD positions in programming languages. The positions have a duration of 3 years for candidates who have completed a relevant MSc degree, or 4 years for candidates who have completed 1 year of relevant MSc studies. The hired candidates will be part of the section of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Programming Languages (ACP), an ambitious group that fosters collaboration, research excellence, and quality education.
The proposed starting time is Autumn 2024, with room for flexibility. The appointment will be made at a competitive salary and will follow the PhD study programme at the Faculty of Science.
This position is tied to the ERC Consolidator Project “Choreographies for Distributed Systems: Reasoning, Expressivity, and Development (CHORDS)”. The project aims at introducing new language abstractions, formal models, and software tools for radically changing how we can reason about and develop realistic distributed systems. To this end, the project will establish a collaborative team that will investigate novel theoretical foundations and a formally-verified toolchain for the new paradigm of choreographic programming. The successful candidate will work with the project’s principal investigator (Prof. Fabrizio Montesi), who is a pioneer of the paradigm, and join one of the most prominent international research groups in the topic (the ACP section).
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is an inclusive and international working environment with state-of-the-art facilities and strong traditions for collaboration across sections, departments and faculties, and with other educational institutions, municipalities, and industries. The degrees offered by the department include BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in computer science, a BSc in artificial intelligence, and an MSc degree in data science.

CANDIDATE PROFILE

We are looking for highly motivated candidates interested in theory and implementation of programming languages. The ideal candidate has an MSc in Computer Science and experience in at least one of the following areas (acquired, for example, by following courses or through work on an MSc thesis).

• Theory of programming languages.
• Compilers.
• Concurrent and distributed systems.
• Logical methods in computer science.
• Interactive theorem provers.

Fluency in English is required.
