The topic of research for the project is "Programming and Reasoning with Infinite Structures": it consists in the theoretical study and development of software tools for coinductive types and structured corecursion. The candidate must be a UK resident with an excellent degree in Computer Science or Mathematics at MSc (preferred) or BSc level (first class or equivalent). The applicant should have a good background in mathematical logic, theoretical computer science or functional programming. (S)he should be interested doing research in type theory, constructive mathematics, category theory and foundations of formal reasoning. We offer: PhD place with living expenses (standard UK level) for 3 years. The grants also provide laptops and travel expenses for conference and workshop visits. Nottingham University provides a vibrant research environment in the Functional Programming Laboratory. Deadline for applications: 20 June 2009. Send a cover letter and your CV to Venanzio Capretta (vxc@cs.nott.ac.uk). Please contact Venanzio Capretta for any additional information that you need. --------------------------------------------------------- LCC'09 FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS >>> >>> EXTENDED DEADLINE: JUNE 5 The Tenth International Workshop on Logic and Computational Complexity (LCC'09, www.cs.indiana.edu/lcc) will be held in Los Angeles on August 10, 2009, as an affiliated meeting of LiCS'09 (www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/lics/lics09), and in conjunction with SAS'09 (sas09.cs.ucdavis.edu). LCC meetings are aimed at the foundational interconnections between logic and computational complexity, as present, for example, in implicit computational complexity (descriptive and type-theoretic methods); deductive formalisms as they relate to complexity (e.g. ramification, weak comprehension, bounded arithmetic, linear logic and resource logics); complexity aspects of finite model theory and databases; complexity-mindful program derivation and verification; computational complexity at higher type; and proof complexity. The LCC'09 program will consist of invited lectures as well as contributed papers selected by the program committee. This year there will be no published proceedings, and work submitted or published elsewhere is welcome, provided all pertinent information is disclosed at submission time. Papers should be written in English, be accessible to non-specialists, start with a clear statement of the issues and results, and not exceed 15 pages. Proposed papers should be uploaded to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lcc090, by Friday, June 5, 2009, with expected notification date of Monday, June 22. For additional information see www.cs.indiana.edu/lcc, or email inquiries to lcc@cs.indiana.edu. Further information about previous LCC meetings can be found at http://www.cis.syr.edu/~royer/lcc.
