Hiring a Research Assistant/Associate in PL/VMs
by Edd Barrett Nov. 8, 2021

Nov. 8, 2021

Hi everyone, The soft-dev team at King's College London (https://soft-dev.org/) has an open position for a Research Assistant or Associate. This position requires a mix of research and engineering to understand how to migrate programs between different versions of a language, using Python 2 to Python 3 as a concrete example. We will need to tackle the problem from different angles, for example augmenting CPython 2.x to dynamically identify idioms which will cause problems under Python 3. Excellent programming skills (C and Python are particularly useful, but excellence can be shown in any other programming language too e.g. C++/Java/Rust) are required for this role as is the ability to work well with others. The successful applicant will work in a friendly team with existing Python and VM skills. We welcome people with different backgrounds/routes into research: there's no need to fit a standard profile. We are also comfortable, and experienced, with long-term largely-remote work within the UK. The deadline for applications is the 21st of November. More details can be found here: https://jobs.kcl.ac.uk/gb/en/job/036186/Research-Associate Please contact Laurence Tratt <laurie(a)tratt.net> with any informal queries you may have. Thanks. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett https://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
