  1. After 50 years of "progress," proof assistants are still just glorified calculators for people who think typing "Isabelle Coq" makes them sound smart. 🤓🔧 It's the same old story of academia's perpetual quest to turn #math into a spectator sport—except this game has fewer fans than a #calculus lecture. 🥱📉

  2. With the NWO XL consortium on Cyclic Structures in Programs and Proofs, we are looking for 6 highly motivated and talented PhD students starting in September (with some flexibility).

    The topics range from Modal logic, proof theory, and coalgebras to Programming languages, concurrency, and type systems and Proof assistants (#Agda, #Rocq).

    Information about the positions and application procedure can be found on the website:

    cyclic-structures.gitlab.io/vacancies/

    Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis but should be submitted by the 23rd of May for full consideration.

    Please forward to any strong candidates you know!
