RELOCATE AND GET PAID WITH THIS FELLOWSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS, PAYS UP TO £44,263

Join the University of Birmingham's School of Computer Science as a Research Fellow to work with Dr. Anupam Das on the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project "Strip: Structure vs. In variants in Proofs." The goal of the project is to further the theory of "cyclic proofs" and how they relate to automata theory, with a particular focus on formalization in proof assistants.

The principal responsibility of the fellow will be to conduct research, both collaboratively with Dr Das and other researchers at Birmingham, and independently. We have a vibrant group in Birmingham, and the fellow is also expected to contribute to a collaborative working atmosphere. The fellow will be supported in career development and encouraged to pursue independent opportunities, not only in terms of research but also, e.g., teaching and grant applications.
