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:
