Hi,

There is an opening for a Post Doctoral position on hardware acceleration of functional programming languages (specifically, Haskell), at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.

The role will involve developing an FPGA-based special purpose processor for Haskell, aimed at outperforming the throughput and energy performance of CPUs.

Candidates should have a background in hardware design and FPGA programming. Hardware engineering experience should include circuit design, developing processor architectures, memory hierarchies and/or instruction sets. Candidates should have some understanding of functional programming. Programming language implementation experience is desirable, but not essential. The project has close industry ties with Xilinx in Ireland and QBayLogic in the Netherlands.

It is a three year project, starting in May 2022.

The HAFLANG project:

Job details and application form:

The application deadline is 28th February 2022.

Contact the project's Principle Investigator, Rob Stewart (R.St...@hw.ac.uk), with inquiries.
