PhD Position: Verification of Golang using Interactive Theorem Proving (Application Deadline 2025-02-10)

We have an exciting funded opportunity for a PhD on developing "Verification Environment for Distributed Systems Implemented in Go". The main objectives are to define a formal semantics of Go and its CSP-inspired concurrency model in an interactive theorem prover (e.g., Isabelle/HOL) as well as developing a calculus for program verification. This is a unique opportunity to work in the intersection of theory and application and while doing so, contributing to improving the state of the art in software correctness and security. 

A detailed description of the PhD proposal is available at:

Information about the funding and application process is available at:

Application deadline is the midnight GMT on 10th of February 2025.

Please reach out to me, if you have any questions. 

Best,
	Achim
