The IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca invites applications for an
Assistant Professor position in Systems Modeling and Analysis (Ricercatore
a Tempo Determinato – RTDa). The appointed candidate will carry out
research regarding the foundations and formal specifications of concurrent
(distributed, mobile, autonomic) systems; the quantitative and qualitative
modelling and analysis of concurrent systems and design; and development of
software tools to support their formal analysis. The appointed candidate
will also carry out tutorship and mentoring of the Institute’s PhD students
with limited teaching at the doctoral level, and will participate in the
development of the Institute’s research activities.

Candidates should have a PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a
related field; they should also have a demonstrated ability in formal
methods, in system modelling and in the development of software tools, as
well as experience in participation in international projects.

The appointed candidate will join the SYSMA – Systems Modeling and Analysis
Research Unit (http://sysma.imtlucca.it/), which is directed by Prof. Rocco
De Nicola.

In accordance with Italian legislation, the RTDa position is a necessary
prerequisite for tenure-track appointments (RTDb), which then lead to the
Associate Professor level. The contract is initially for 3 years, but can
be renewed for an additional 2 years. The appointed candidate will benefit
from IMT’s comprehensive campus infrastructure, including free meals in the
canteen.

PhD programs are taught exclusively in English. The PhD Program includes a
Track in Computer, Decision and Systems Science with a specific Curriculum
in Computer Science. The track is coordinated by Rocco De Nicola and aims
at preparing researchers and professionals with a wide knowledge of the
theoretical foundations of computer science and informatics, control
systems and optimization, image analysis, and management science.

The curriculum in Computer Science aims at training a new generation of
researchers in the theoretical and practical aspects of modern computing
systems, including global, cloud, autonomic and service-oriented systems.
The focus is on the development of models, algorithms, verification methods
and software tools that can tackle the challenges of today e-society
efficiently and effectively. The main aim is that of characterizing and
guaranteeing essential features and desirable properties of these systems
such as reliability, open-endedness, autonomicity, security, concurrency,
scalability, cost-effectiveness, quality of service, and dependability.
