Application deadline
2009-01-12
The department is strongly international, with ca 75 faculty and 70 PhD students from 30 countries. The positions are placed in the division of software Engineering and Technology (SET). Within the SET division, research ranges from programming languages and formal methods in software engineering, via software construction to empirical research on quality assurance and cost estimation for software. The department includes further strong groups within related fields of CSE; See http://www.chalmers.se/cse/EN for an overview. We are also part of the IT university in Gothenburg, a centre formed by Chalmers and University of Gothenburg to strengthen teaching, research and industry collaboration in IT in the Gothenburg region. Software Engineering is a strategic part of this effort and activities in the field are envisaged to grow further. Local industry with a strong interest in software engineering includes Ericsson, Volvo Cars, Volvo Technology and Saab. Hence, the positions offer ample opportunities for interaction with industry.
Job description
The positions are full time tenure appointments and involve research, supervision of PhD students and teaching, mainly in the master program Software Engineering and Technology, which admits 60 students per year. This program has both Swedish and international students and is taught in English. Duties also include academic leadership and management roles.
Required qualifications
To be qualified, the applicants must have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent. Applicants should also have a strong academic record in Software Engineering. In particular, we are looking for researchers with a background in software architecture, but also welcome applications from people working in other fields of software engineering, such as software requirements, design, processes, validation, testing and maintenance. The applicant should be able to collaborate with industrial, academic and governmental partners and also be capable of successfully applying for external grants for the research. Documented experience of collaboration with industry is an advantage. To be appointed Associate Professor (Docent), the applicant must have been qualified for the Swedish docent level (in Swedish "oavlönad docent"). If the applicant has not yet reached that qualification level, the position is designated Senior Lecturer (Universitetslektor). In that case the applicant is expected to become "oavlönad docent" within a few years and is then promoted to Associate Professor. The applicant is expected to learn Swedish within a few years.
