[Haskell-cafe] Postdoc position - hardware acceleration of Haskell

[Rob Stewart]

Hi haskell-cafe,

I have an opening for a postdoc position at Heriot-Watt University in
Edinburgh, on hardware acceleration of functional programming
languages. In particular, Haskell.

Candidates should have a background in hardware design and FPGA
programming. Hardware engineering experience should include circuit
design, developing processor architectures, memory hierarchies and/or
instruction sets. Candidates should have some understanding of
functional programming. Programming language implementation experience
is desirable, but not essential. The role will involve developing a
special purpose processor for Haskell, aimed at outperforming the
throughput and energy performance of CPUs. The project has close
industry ties in Ireland and the Netherlands.

It is a three year project, starting in May 2022.

The HAFLANG project:

Job details and application form:

  https://enzj.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX/job/1716/

The application deadline is 28th February 2022.

Contact the PI, Rob Stewart, with inquiries (R.Stewart at hw.ac.uk).

Please share this widely.
