Two postdoctoral research fellowships in proof theory (2y w/ possibility of extension), Birmingham (England)

The School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham is seeking to appoint up to 2 Research Fellows (postdocs) in Proof Theory, for a duration of 2 years (with possibility of extension). The theory group at the University of Birmingham is one of the leading groups in logical foundations of computer science, with expertise not only in Proof Theory but also related areas such as Type Theory, Category Theory and Mathematical Logic.

These positions are funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship "StrIP: Structure vs Invariants in Proofs", led by Dr Anupam Das. The project aims to develop the theory of 'cyclic proofs' and their connections to automata theory. The principal responsibility of the fellow(s) will be to conduct research, both collaboratively with Dr Das and other researchers at Birmingham, and independently. The fellow(s) will also be supported in career development and encouraged to pursue independent opportunities.
