He or she will not teach any offline classes. So he or she will act more like a teaching assistant than a professor teaching an independent course. Contract can be renewed depending on the job performance.

The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation currently has a 2.5 year Post-Doc position available in Dr Sonja Smets' Vidi project on 'Reasoning about quantum interaction: Logical modelling and verification of multi-agent quantum protocols'.
VIDI Project: ‘Reasoning about quantum interaction: Logical modelling and verification of multi-agent quantum protocols’:
As for classical computing, logic is expected to play an essential role in the understanding of quantum computation and quantum information, and especially in the formal verification of quantum communication protocols. Such multi-agent applications involve quantum information flow and classical knowledge transfer (by classical communication) between the agents. So one of our aims in the Vidi research project is to develop the logical tools for modelling complex situations where different types of informational dynamics (classical and quantum) are combined. Our goal is to develop and use a combined classical-quantum logic for the full specification and formal verification of agent-based quantum protocols for secure communication. Towards this goal, we propose to use formalisms based on modal logic, especially combinations of dynamic (or temporal) logics and epistemic (or “spatial") logics. But other logical formalisms, such as probabilistic logic, linear logic and coalgebraic logic (or categorical logic, in general), are also useful in this context.
Tasks:
The task of the post-doctoral researcher is to join the Vidi team working on the development of the above mentioned logical tools for 1) the verification of quantum protocols where probabilities play an essential role (such as in Quantum Key Distribution) and 2) the study of the (classical and quantum) information flow in protocols dealing with the anonymity of an agent’s identity such as in the Quantum Dining Cryptographers and Quantum Electronic Voting.
Requirements:
We are looking for candidates with a strong interest in Quantum Information Theory and Logic (especially in any of the areas such as Modal Logic, Epistemic Logic, Dynamic Logic, Linear Logic, Categorical Logic or Quantum Logic).
Candidates should have (or obtain before 1st June 2012) a PhD degree in any area connected to Logic, Physics, Computer Science, Philosophy or Mathematics. Fluent English is a prerequisite.
