PhD position: Software Engineering, Highly Configurable Systems, Formal
Modelling (Gothenburg, Sweden)
http://www.gu.se/english/about_the_university/job-opportunities/vacancies-details/?id=411
We invite applications for a PhD researcher position (start as soon as
possible, apply by *2017-05-09*) in the area of engineering of highly
configurable software systems. Examples of such systems are
automotive/avionics/power-electronics control systems, software
ecosystems (e.g., Android apps), systems software (e.g., OS kernels), or
embedded databases.
The PhD candidate is expected to advance the theory and practice of
engineering highly configurable systems (a.k.a., software product lines)
towards lean and incremental development techniques. A focus is on
migrating cloned (forked) system variants towards configurable software
platforms. The project comprises theoretical (e.g., creating formal
models) as well as very practical work, such as developing program
analyses, program transformations, and tool prototypes. The candidate
might also conduct some smaller-scale empirical research or tool
evaluations with industry. The position also requires a contribution to
teaching at the SE division by supervising Bachelor or Master theses,
and supporting courses as a teaching assistant. The main supervisor is
Thorsten Berger.
Applicants should have a background in computer science or software
engineering and should have excellent programming skills. Preference
will be given to candidates with experiences in at least one of the
following fields:
* Functional Programming
* Formal Modelling
* Software Product Line Engineering
* Model-Driven Engineering or Compiler Construction
Applications should contain:
* Cover letter expressing the applicant’s motivation, experiences, and
relevant qualifications in relation to the announced position
* Detailed CV, including publications and contact details of up to
three references
* Copies of postgraduate and undergraduate transcripts
* Evidence of English proficiency for non-native English speakers
Employment:
Type of employment: fixed-term, up to five years
Extent: 100 % of full time
Location: Software Engineering Division
First day of employment: As soon as possible
The salary is determined on an individual basis. A rough estimate of the
initial net salary is around 2050€ per month, increasing yearly.
About the department:
The department of Computer Science and Engineering is jointly hosted by
the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. It
is a strongly international department with approximately 80 faculty
among a total of 260 employees originating from 30 countries. The
announced PhD position is located at the division of Software
Engineering (SE) with 19 faculty members covering a wide range of
software-engineering expertise.
