Research Assistant / Associate in Formal Methods, Specification and Verification and Compositional Program Analysis
We a looking for a motivated Research Assistant / Associate in Formal Methods, Specification and Verification and Compositional Program Analysis to work in our “Proof of Bugs for All” project.
This is a 12-month research project (with the possibility to extend it further) funded by the Information Innovation Office (I2O) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The project is led by in collaboration with at University College London and seeks to seed a fundamental direction for program analysis tools, based on the recent theory of incorrectness logic. The project’s goal is to develop a stable prototype analyser that enables sound bug detection throughout the full life cycle of program development, from development in an IDE all the way to deployment to production.
The at Imperial College London is a leading department of Computer Science among UK Universities. The department has achieved top results in each of the undertaken by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. There are over fifty academic , creating a lively and stimulating atmosphere. The department is in central London, next to Hyde Park and the museums of South Kensington.
You will be supporting the PIs and Research Engineer in developing an analyser that can provide accuracy (soundness) of bugs detected and ease of use for developers. You will work closely with the PIs to develop new theoretical foundations to underpin the analyser integrating these ideas into the analyser and participating in its development.
You will need a strong track record and a background in formal methods, specifically in the theory of under- approximate reasoning and compositional analysis.
Experience in working with current symbolic execution techniques and tools and / or experience developing automated and semi-automated verification tools will be highly desirable.
You will need to have, or expect shortly to obtain, a PhD in Computer Science or a closely related field, with a strong background in at least one of the following areas: Formal Methods, Specification and Verification and Compositional Program Analysis.
Please see job description for a full list of requirements for the role.
