Dear Matthias and Pete,

I would be grateful if you could forward this message to your group
and collaborators.  Also, any
suggestions about where to look for good candidates are more than welcome.

Thank you,

--------------------------------------

The Formal Systems Laboratory at UIUC is looking for an excellent postdoc or
researcher to work on the formal K semantics of C/LLVM and/or other low-level
languages.  The semantics will then be used for program analysis and
verification, using the novel matching logic approach and mechanical
translations of K into Coq/Isabelle/ACL2.

If interested, please contact Grigore Rosu (grosu at illinois.edu).
