[FOM] PhD opportunities in the Computer Science theory group at Birmingham

[Paul Levy]

Dear all,
We invite applications for PhD study at the University of Birmingham.  
We are a group of (mostly) theoretical computer scientists who explore  
fundamental concepts in computation and programming language  
semantics. This often involves profound and surprising connections  
between different areas of computer science and mathematics. From  
category theory to ?-calculus and computational effects, from topology  
to constructive mathematics, from game semantics to program  
compilation, this is a diverse field of research that continues to  
provide new insight and underlying structure. See our webpage, with  
links to individual researchers, here:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/groupings/theory/
Information about PhD applications may be found here:

If you are considering applying, please contact any of us. We will be  
very happy to discuss the opportunities available.
Best regards,
The Birmingham CS theory group
Martin Escardo    (topology, computation with infinite objects,  
constructive mathematics, intuitionistic type theory)
Dan Ghica            (game semantics, heterogeneous computing, model  
checking)
Achim Jung          (mathematical structures in the foundations of  
computing: logic, topology, order)
Paul Levy             (denotational semantics, lambda-calculus with  
effects, nondeterminism, category theory, game semantics)
Uday Reddy        (semantics of state, separation logic)
Eike Ritter            (security protocol verification)
Hayo Thielecke  (abstract machines, concurrent and functional  
programming, software security)
Steve Vickers      (constructive mathematics and topology, category  
theory and toposes)
