-I am on the academic job market this year (fall 2021), mostly looking for faculty positions in Europe.
+I am offering up to two fully funded PhD positions in my newly founded research group at ETH Zürich, with flexible start date. +I am looking for strong students that want to do research at the foundations of programming language theory, in program verification and separation logic, with a focus on Rust and Iris. +Knowledge of Coq is greatly appreciated. Interested candidates can contact me directly. +Please explain why you are interested in a PhD in this field and what your prior experience is. Also include a CV and possible contacts for recommendation letters.
My two main lines of work are about Rust and Iris.
On the Rust side, I am working (also in collaboration with the Rust language team) towards a solid formal foundation for the language, including in particular the unsafe parts.
