Your Role... To strengthen and diversify the existing skills and expertise in the Department of Software Engineering, the candidate is expected to perform excellent research in computer science and to set up a research group in their field of expertise. The candidate will actively seek cooperation with researchers from within the department, but also with researchers from other departments, faculties, and centres, or external research institutions. Interdisciplinary research will allow the candidate to achieve practical impact.

What we expect from you…The School of Computing is seeking to hire a candidate with an excellent international track record, a strong background in research in fields such as Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, and who are open for interdisciplinary collaborations with both academia and industry.

The selected candidate will actively contribute to the strategy of the department by developing research at the highest level of academic excellence, with a specific focus on Software Engineering for software-intensive mission-critical systems subject to non-functional constraints like reliability, safety, timing and energy-efficiency constraints.

Software Engineering encompasses a broad spectrum of areas including, but not restricted to:

• Software analysis and software quality
• Programming languages and development environments (e.g., low-code platforms, declarative programming, DevOps)
• Artificial intelligence for software development tools (e.g., virtual assistants, program synthesis)
• Model-driven engineering, model transformation for the verification of non-functional properties
• Agent-based modelling and simulation of social and physical phenomena
• Interdisciplinary applications of computing systems in fields such as agriculture, industrial engineering, earth sciences, life sciences and social sciences. These topics are just indicative; applicants from other subdomains of Software Engineering are encouraged to apply to this position as well.

We offer an international team at a young and dynamic university, an interdisciplinary research environment, and a wide network of academic, institutional, and corporate partners.

Work conditions and benefits: 

• Competitive salary on the international job market;
• Private allowance for publications and conference attendance.
• Private allowance for purchasing books or other teaching materials.
• Annual paid vacation for 48 working days;
• Free medical insurance;
