[Reiner Hähnle]

 	 TWO POSITIONS AS ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR/SENIOR LECTURER
      IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AT CHALMERS UNVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY,
 			  GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN

Reference number 2008/254

Application deadline January 12, 2009.

The positions are placed at at the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering.  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.

Expected Qualifications
-----------------------

Applicants for the position should 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, the applicant must
have been qualified for the Swedish docent level (in Swedish "oavlonad
docent"). If the applicant has not yet reached that qualification
level, the position is designated Senior Lecturer. In that case the
applicant is expected to become "oavlonad docent" within a few years
and is then promoted to Associate Professor.  Knowledge of Swedish is
not a prerequisite since English is our working language for research
and master level teaching.
