[TYPES/announce] PhD position at Chalmers | University of Gothenburg, Sweden

[Thorsten Berger]

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.
