It seems the CMU usually has a compiler class, but not this year: https://csd.cmu.edu/course-profiles/15-411_611-compiler-design A compiler class used to be part of the normal CS coursework, but it seems less common now. PhD work is less obvious, but I suspect that CMU is one of the more likely places to find one.
