The project has particular emphasis on putting theory into practice,
by embedding session types in a range of programming languages and
applying them to case studies; or developing the links between
session types and other areas of theoretical computer science. The
research programme includes collaboration with several companies and
organisations.

Candidates for the post-doc position will need to have expertise in
either:

1. programming language design and implementation; or
2. formal semantics, type theory and concurrency theory

Different positions will be suitable for different points on the
theory/practice spectrum. We are especially interested in
candidates with a combination of theoretical and practical skills.

For more details, see http://mrg.doc.ic.ac.uk.

The focus of Imperial College London Group is theories and
applications of (Multiparty) Session Types (JACM,POPL'08)
which include:

-- Go (POPL'19,ICSE'18,POPL'17,CC'16),
   Scala (PLDI'19,ECOOP'17,ECOOP'16), F# (CC'18), Erlang (CC'17),
   Haskell (CC'20,POPL'16), OCaml (SOC), Java (FASE'16,FASE'17),
   MPI-C (FPL'16,OOPSLA'15,CC'15) and Python (FOAC,LMCS,FMSD);

-- session types theories (ESOP'20,POPL'19,ESOP'19,ESOP'16,CONCUR'15),
   automata theories (CAV'19,CONCUR'19,FoSSaCs'17,TACAS'16,CONCUR'15,POPL'15),
   game semantics (POPL'19,FoSSaCs'19),
   Implicit Complexity (LICS'18) and
   linear logic (ESOP'18,FoSSaCs'18,CONCUR'15); or

-- mechanisation of session types meta-theory (Coq, Isabelle, Agda,
etc) (TACAS 20)

-- other applications such as blockchains (FSE'19) and robotics (ECOOP'19)
