(Apologies for multiple cross-postings) ==================================================================================== 2 Ph.D. positions in Software Engineering - University of Groningen, The Netherlands ====================================================================================
About the SEARCH Group ---------------------- The Software Engineering & Architecture (SEARCH) group at the University of Groningen is committed to advancing the state of the art in the field of software architecture. The group aims to achieve that by carrying out joint research projects with universities, research institutes, and industrial partners, thus combining academic know-how with industrial practice. The research topics of the SEARCH group include software architecture design and evaluation, software product lines, architectural patterns and pattern languages, architecture-centric evolution, dynamic architectures, service-centric architectures and architectural knowledge. For more information please contact us: - Web: http://search.cs.rug.nl/ - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] The SEARCH group offers 2 vacancies for Ph.D. candidates -------------------------------------------------------- Area: Software Architecture and Patterns Number of vacancies: 2 Code: SWA-PAT1 and SWA-PAT2 Project description: Carry out research in the field of pattern-based software architecture with respect to design, evaluation and evolution. A project on pattern-based software architecting is being started in the University of Groningen. The tasks of the two Ph.D. candidates will be, among others, to mine and author architectural patterns, establish relationships between patterns, synthesize pattern languages and explore the latest trends in pattern theory like pattern sequencing. Furthermore the patterns and pattern languages are aimed to be used within methods and tools that support architectural design, quality attribute evaluation and software evolution. The research results will be validated in close collaboration with industrial partners like the Software Architecture group at Philips Research, Eindhoven and local companies and organizations. The research work in the two Ph.D. positions may be coupled with each other in order to provide motivating research partnerships and more effective group results. Location: University of Groningen, Groningen Contact and information: Dr. Paris Avgeriou Tel: +31 50 3637057 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Required profile ---------------- - You should have a M.Sc. or equivalent in computer science or a related discipline, preferably with a strong background in software engineering. - You are expected to have an excellent academic record (list of examination marks from your university degree) and be curious, creative and ambitious. - You should be able to write scientific articles and reports (proven by your graduation thesis or another comparable report) and be fluent in English. - You should have affinity to research with an industrial focus, be a team player, open-minded and actively participate in knowledge sharing. Conditions of agreement ----------------------- The University of Groningen offers outstanding candidates a Ph.D. fellowship and an accompanying stipend. The fellowship is for a period of four years which should result in the Ph.D. defense of the candidate. The stipend starts from about € 1390 gross (the candidate has to take care for tax - about 3% - and health insurance) per month in the first year and will be adjusted to general price movements once a year. After one year, the performance of the candidate will be evaluated to decide whether there is sufficient progress to expect a successful completion of the Ph.D. thesis within the remaining three years. A training program is part of the agreement to support the Ph.D. candidates in their professional and personal development as well as their career planning. You and your supervisor will make up a plan for the additional education and supervising that you specifically need. The University of Groningen strives to offer an aspiring environment for research providing generous technical and financial support in order to motivate young researchers. How to apply ------------ Applications for the position should include a Curriculum Vita (name, address, degree(s), date, etc.) and the names and (email) addresses of two professional references. Please send your application indicating the code of the position(s) you apply for to the above mentioned contact person. _______________________________________________ patterns-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/patterns-discussion
