[Please forward to anyone who might be interested.]
A vacancy has arisen for an EPSRC (UK
government-funded) PhD studentship
in the Division of
Computer Science at the University of St Andrews.
Current research interests in the functional
programming group include:
o parallel language design and implementation
(the GUM and GranSim systems, coupled with the
evaluation strategy
approach)
o applications in computer graphics (e.g.
development of radiosity algorithms)
o biotechnology, including complex pattern
recognition in genetic sequences
for virology research (jointly with colleagues in
the School of
Biomedical Sciences)
o search in AI, notably parallel satisfiability
algorithms
o distributed and persistent systems
o novel memory management techniques
but other PhD topics are possible (including wholly
or jointly with other
groups).
Standard EPSRC conditions apply: in particular,
fees are limited to EC levels,
and the applicant must possess a good degree in a
relevant subject.
St Andrews is a small but lively seaside town close
to Edinburgh,
Scotland. The University
is the oldest University in Scotland (founded 1411),
with a very good
reputation for research.
Within the Division of Computer Science, there is
good general support and
computer provision
including a 64-processor Beowulf class machine
(each a 450MHz Pentium II with 384MB of RAM and 6GB
of disk) that could be
exploited by
this student.
More information about the group and links to the
division etc. can be found at
http://www-fp.dcs.st-and.ac.uk
or contact me to discuss details.
