[TYPES/announce] PhD Position in Deductive Verification of Safety-Critical Software
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] The Theoretical Computer Science Group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology invites applications for a PhD position in Computer Science focusing on Deductive Verification of Safety-Critical Embedded Software. The doctoral position is within a collaboration project between KTH and Scania, and addresses the need for functional safety of embedded vehicle software. The project relies on formal verification techniques, such as deductive software verification and model checking. The two main problems that the project aims to solve are the problem of connecting, in a formal way, requirements at different systems levels, and the problem of automating the verification process. The first problem will be addressed by the development of a formal framework and tool for hierarchical software architecture modelling that encompasses the given requirements. The second problem will be addressed by the development of automated techniques and tools that read architectural specifications and, from these, automatically generate models and logical specifications for back-end verification tools. This is a five-year full-time employed position involving 20% teaching. We are looking for strong candidates with background in Computer Science, ideally in Formal Methods based on Mathematical Logic and Programming Language Semantics. Industrial experience, especially with embedded safety-critical software, would be an advantage.

[TYPES/announce] PostDoc in Verification of Simulink Models
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] KTH is hiring one PostDoc in Verification of Simulink Models: https://www.kth.se/en/om/work-at-kth/lediga-jobb/what:job/jobID:265239/where:4/ Application deadline: May 16, 2019. Starting date: August 1, 2019 (or by agreement). The postdoctoral position is within a collaboration project between KTH and Scania, and addresses the need for functional safety of embedded vehicle software. The project relies on formal verification techniques, such as deductive software verification and model checking. The two main problems that the project aims to solve are the problem of connecting, in a formal way, requirements at different systems levels, and the problem of automating the verification process. The first problem will be addressed by the development of a formal framework and tool for hierarchical software architecture modelling that encompasses the given requirements. The second problem will be addressed by the development of automated techniques and tools that read architectural specifications and, from these, automatically generate models and logical specifications for back-end verification tools. The postdoc will be responsible for developing a model-checking based automatic verification technique for the exhaustive and systematic verification of C modules developed by means of Simulink models. The main challenge here is to cope with the size and complexity of the industrial Simulink models, that is, to find a technique that can be employed for verification of intricate Simulink models with large state spaces. The position is a full-time research position for one year. Qualifications: Applicants must hold or be about to receive a doctoral degree in Computer Science (or equivalent). The doctoral degree must have been obtained within the last three years from the application deadline (some exceptions for special grounds, for instance sick leave and parental leave). The candidate should have a strong background in Computer Science, and in particular in Formal Methods based on mathematical logic and models of program behavior. Industrial experience, especially with Simulink and embedded safety-critical software, is an advantage. About KTH: KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world.
