We invite applications for a Research Associate to join the New Spaces for Denotational Semantics project. The New Spaces project aims to develop an axiomatic framework for higher‑dimensional synthetic mathematics unifying the domain theoretic semantics of programming languages with higher category theory. In its final phase, the project will focus on the development of a new interactive proof assistant to support this axiomatisation.
This position will involve working with Dr Jon Sterling and other project collaborators.
Responsibilities: The role holder will be leading the development of a new proof assistant for neutral constructive mathematics in collaboration with the Principal Investigator. In addition, you will be expected to contribute to open‑source software that will assist with this project and future ones in this area, as well as write up research work for presentation and publication in appropriate venues (including conferences, journals, and blogging).
Qualifications: The successful candidate will hold, or be close to obtaining, a PhD in Computer Science or a closely related discipline, or possess equivalent professional experience. Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded.
They should also have a track record of research and engineering excellence and innovation in a subset of the following topics, including but not limited to:
* Normalization by evaluation
* Glued evaluation
* Bidirectional elaboration
* Stable elaboration
* Higher‑order dynamic pattern unification
