******************************************************* * 2 x PostDoc position in Computer Science Logic * University of Sheffield, UK * Salary: £32,344 to £35,326 per annum (Grade 7) * Deadline: 20th July 2022 * Starting date: ASAP / negotiable * Duration: Until 31.10.2023 (15 months each) * (it might be possible to join the posts to one longer post or extend posts past the official end date, contact j.t.virtema@sheffield.ac.uk <mailto:j.t.virtema@sheffield.ac.uk> for details) * Details: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CRB003/research-associate-in-computer-science-log... ******************************************************* I am looking for two PostDocs to join the Verification group (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dcs/research/groups/verification) of The University of Sheffield (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/dcs ) to work with me in my DFG funded project "Logical approach to quantum mechanics and contextuality" (http://www.virtema.fi/dfg). All candidates interested in working in the general topic of logics and complexity theory utilising numerical features and real valued data are encouraged to apply. The project topics range from logical foundations of probabilistic data and complexity theory utilising real numbers to logical approach to quantum information theory utilising the newly discovered connections to probabilistic team semantics. Candidates with expertise in finite model theory, logic in computer science, or foundations of quantum information theory are in particular encouraged to apply. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact me directly by email for further details (j.t.virtema@sheffield.ac.uk). For more details on the topic, the candidate may refer to the subsection “Probabilistic Logics and Metafinite Model Theory” at http://www.virtema.fi/.

The topic of the PhD project is quite flexible, but should relate to temporal logics for verification (for more details: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/logical-approach-to-verification-of-hy...). PhD topics related to logical foundations of probabilistic data and complexity theory utilising real numbers is also possible, please contact me directly for details. The Studentship will cover tuition fees at the UK rate and provide a tax-free stipend at the standard UKRC rate (currently £15,609 for 2021/22) for three and a half years. International students are eligible to apply, however will have to pay the difference between the UK and Overseas tuition fees. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact me directly by email for further details (j.t.virtema@sheffield.ac.uk).
