Overview
We invite applications for a postdoctoral research associate on the project “Co-Pilots for Isabelle: Learning Logical Structure for a Better Proving Experience”. The post is based in the verification group of the School of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield, supervised by Dr Andrei Popescu and Prof Nikos Aletras.
Responsibilities
* Conduct high-quality research in formal verification.
* Develop software for theorem proving and AI integration.
* Collaborate on extending Isabelle with intelligent copilots and leverage structured information from users and developers.
* Contribute to the collaboration between the University of Sheffield, University of Copenhagen and King's College London.
Qualifications
* Ability to conduct high-quality research.
* Excellent skills in developing software for theorem proving and AI integration.
* Familiarity with a proof assistant is a plus.
* Familiarity with the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant and AI models is a big plus.
Project context
The project aims to research next-generation formal reasoning mechanisms by combining AI with traditional structural methods. Isabelle is a widely used proof assistant, and the project explores intelligent copilots that utilize structured information from users and developers to improve proving experiences.
Organisation and rewards
We are committed to flexible working opportunities. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
