GENERAL INFORMATION
The department of Computer Science and Engineering is jointly hosted by
Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg. It
is a strongly international department with approximately 80 faculty
among a total of 260 employees originating from 30 countries. Located in
Gothenburg -- Sweden’s second-largest city -- the department is
surrounded by a vibrant ecosystem of software-intensive companies, such
as Volvo Cars and Volvo AB, Ericsson, ABB, Boeing, and SAAB Aeronautics.
The department is connected to three science parks in Gothenburg for
industrial collaborations in fields including intelligent vehicles and
transport systems, mobile internet, energy, nanotechnology, and life
sciences. Alumni and members of the department have also created many
startups, including revolutionary ones such as Spotify.
The announced postdoc position is located at the division of Software
Engineering. With 21 faculty members it is arguably one of the largest
software-engineering institutes world-wide, conducting research at the
highest international level in topics such as model-driven engineering,
testing, software product lines, empirical software engineering,
requirements engineering, autonomic computing, and cloud computing. This
year, the division organizes two of the most influential
software-engineering conferences, ICSE’18 and SPLC’18. For industrial
research, the division hosts the Software Center, an associated
institute with a network of five universities and ten global companies
including Siemens, Axis, and Jeppesen.
JOB ASSIGNMENTS
The postdoctoral researcher will conduct research in the areas of
software product-line engineering, model-driven engineering or empirical
software engineering. The position is embedded into the EU ITEA project
REVAMP with a focus on re-engineering and migration of variant-rich
systems into modern and scalable product-line architectures. It is also
closely related to the EU project Co4Robots where modern variability
mechanisms (including dynamic variability and adaptation mechanisms)
will be conceived for robotics and cyber-physical systems. The primary
job assignment is research, with excellent collaboration opportunities
with the project partners, including SCANIA, ABB, SAAB, ALTRAN, PAL
Robotics, and Bosch, among potentially other European partners. The
position includes 10-20% teaching (negotiable) at the Software
Engineering division by supervising Master theses and supporting courses
as a teaching assistant.
Applicants must have a PhD degree in Computer Science, Software
Engineering or a closely related discipline. Prior publications,
excellent references, fluency in English as well as good communication,
collaboration, self-organization, and programming skills are also required.
APPLICATION
Applications are to be written in English and need to contain:
- Cover letter expressing the applicant’s motivation, experiences, and
relevant qualifications in relation to the announced position
- Detailed curriculum vitae including publications, teaching
experiences, and three references with their contact details
- Official transcripts of education certificates (degrees, including
grade reports and other documents when applicable).
Applications only online by July 5 (end of day CEST, strict) via:
