research assistantship available for working on ftnchek

[Bob Moniot]

Hi.

Pardon if this is not exactly on topic, but I hope some readers of
this
group will find it of interest.

I'm the author and maintainer of ftnchek, a venerable static analysis
program for finding bugs in Fortran code. In its heyday, ftnchek was
quite popular with Fortran programmers. However, for some time now
ftnchek has been kind of moribund due to its only accepting Fortran 77
syntax with some Fortran 90 extensions.

This situation is about to change. I have been awarded a grant that
can support a graduate research assistant for one calendar year,
including a stipend and 1/3 of tuition. The project will involve
rebuilding ftnchek to accept the full current Fortran standard syntax.

If you are or know of a graduating senior who is planning to begin a
master's degree program in computer science this September, with a
good background and interest in compilers, please contact me for
details on the assistantship and how to apply to Fordham's M.S.
program in computer science.
