PhD student position in Software Engineering at Chalmers University, Sweden
Application deadline 2010-03-16
Reference number 2010/33
Job start date 2010-05-03
The department provides a strong, international, and dynamic research environment with about 70 faculty and 70 PhD students. For more information, see www.chalmers.se/cse/EN/ Half of our researchers and PhD students are native Swedes; the rest come from more than 30 different countries. The research group is a newly established group in the division of Software Engineering and Technology. The group is conducting research on verification and validation, automated software engineering, human aspects on software development, software metrics, architectural modeling, validation of quality attributes such as real-time constraints and security, distributed/global software engineering etc. The work is broad in nature and utilizes a number of different theories, models, technologies and tools depending on the relevant industrial needs and constraints for each study.
The group has strong collaboration with research groups in UK, USA, Greece, Norway and China; it will be possible for the interested doctoral student to experience an extended stay at an international university as a visiting scholar. The group also has extensive collaboration with Swedish industry, in particular the aerospace, telecom and automotive industries.
Additional support for the PhD student will be given by the Swedish Research School in Software Verification and Validation (SWELL, swell.se) in which the student will take part.
Job description
Much of software development is changing from being plan-driven to being more agile and adaptive, with shorter iterations and cycles. Within the European Community (EC) there is a large research and development project underway to develop a new set of rules and methodologies for the European air space (SESAR). This will have a long-lasting effect on the aerospace industry as a whole and will impose new requirements on companies developing software for it. It will be increasingly important to verify non-functional requirements, i.e. that the developed software has the right performance, safety and reliability and to integrate such verification activities with the right mix of and economically motivated testing activities for the functional requirements. In particular this is a challenge for companies that see competitive benefit in using agile development methods.
The work focuses on finding better methods and techniques to test and verify safety critical software, in particular air traffic control software that is developed with agile development methodologies. It is based on earlier work with the space industry that developed a way to optimize verification activities, but will also investigate increased (semi-)automation in acceptance and system testing. The research will be conducted in close cooperation with and at the premises of SAAB Security AB (ATM) and is funded by SAAB and VINNOVA.
As a Ph.D. student you are employed by Chalmers and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements. A maximum of 20% of your time will be devoted to other duties at the department, mainly teaching. The remaining time will be devoted to your own courses and research within the project and you are expected to obtain a Ph.D. within a maximum of 5 years.
Required qualifications
English is the main language used in our research and we publish internationally. However, since this work involves Swedish companies with security clearance it is a requirement that you have a Swedish citizenship. We thus require that you know both Swedish and English well. Applicants shall have a Master’s Degree (Swe: civilingenjörsexamen) or corresponding degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering or in a related discipline. As for all PhD studies, a genuine interest and curiosity in the subject matter and excellent analytical and communication skills, orally as well as in writing, are needed. Software Engineering is a broad field of study but we still assume you also have excellent, basic technology skills, such as in programming, designing and testing software. A successful candidate should have a profound interest in software engineering, agile methodologies and verification and validation. Experience from professional software development and/or agile software development is positive and its level and extent should be briefly summarized in your application. You may apply even though you might not have completed your degree yet, but you expect to do so before the position starts.
It is highly recommended that you include or e-mail letters of recommendation; we typically get a large number of applications, and it is simply not feasible for us to request individual letters. It is essential that the application includes all relevant work such as theses and articles that you have authored or co-authored.
Application procedure
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
- An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
- Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
- Curriculum Vitae
- Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)
The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents. Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form.
If any material is not available electronically or cannot be transferred to pdf format, the material can be sent as a hard copy to Registrar. The applicants name and the reference number (2010/33) must be written on the first page of the application.

5 PhD student positions in Basic Sciences at Chalmers University Sweden
Application deadline 2010-02-15
Reference number 2009/212
Welcome to Basic Sciences
– an area that is fundamental to Chalmers and seven promising young researchers
What it can do for the world
Providing a nursery for the pure sciences, this area seeks to take responsibility for the continued progress and development of the university’s scientific foundation. Providing deep insight within core disciplines, the basic sciences are also a source of nourishment to the applied sciences and, ultimately, to society at large.
What we’re building on
Pure physics, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and computer science provide a large part of our platform. We are an eclectic group of researchers dedicated to answering the calls of our chosen sciences. Some are leading experts in such specialised fields that our closest colleagues are on the other side of the planet. This is the nature of studying the universe.
Our fundamental physics research group addresses questions within elementary particle physics and mathematical physics. And in particular, within string theory and supersymmetric field theories, where both formal issues and future applications in other bordering fields are investigated. Engaged in large experimental facilities such as CERN in Geneva and GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, the group also explores subatomic physics, nuclear astrophysics, and many-body systems.
The driving force behind our geoscience research is to understand the Earth system - which in turn provides a basic knowledge for a sustainable future. Present research includes the atmospheric water cycle, volcano and industrial emissions, ozone depletion, forest biomass, sea ice, and the crust, rotation and interior of the Earth.
The research we perform in Mathematics comprises complex analytic geometry, algebraic geometry, harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory, analytic number theory, and discrete mathematics – or probability theory. We also have close collaborations with theoretical computer science in the areas of combinatorics, discrete mathematics, probability and logic.
The Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics group works closely with the Swedish National Facility for Radio Astronomy at Onsala Space Observatory. Areas of research include the evolution of galaxies with emphasis on starbursts and active galactic nuclei, cosmology, formation of stars and planets, late stages of stellar evolution, and astrochemistry.
The Theoretical Chemistry group focuses on fundamental perspectives on principle chemical reactions such as catalysis, high-temperature corrosion, and bio-nano-photo-voltaics. Areas of research also include contributions to fundamental quantum chemistry and an "octet rule" is developed for predicting new superconducting materials.
Our research in Theoretical Computer Science is within the areas of algorithms, logic, formalization of mathematics, and programming language theory. Our research is performed in close contact with neighbouring sciences, such as mathematics, philosophy, biology, and linguistics.
Where would you take it next?
If you are drawn to understanding the laws of the universe, if you think that your research might help us to fortify our foundations within one or more of the fundamental sciences, then please don’t hesitate in sending us your Assistant Professor or PhD application. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
Process Overview
Last day to submit applications is February 15, 2010. During February and March, the applicants fulfilling the set of basic criteria will be evaluated. Interviews with top ranked candidates will take place in March and April 2010.
The position
The successful candidate will conduct doctoral studies within the fundamental sciences, in line with the intentions described in the application. The position will be placed at the department of the candidate’s choice.
The position is limited to maximum five years and corresponds to full-time research studies during four years. In addition, teaching in the undergraduate or masters curricula at Chalmers could be included corresponding to one year, teaching work distributed over the whole time of the position.
The specific aim of the five year period is for the PhD student to develop a high degree of independence and a general problem solving ability to make a continued successful carrier in either academia or industry possible.
Chalmers University of Technology offers an attractive working environment characterized by equal rights and opportunities for everybody.
Required qualifications
As for all PhD studies, a genuine interest and curiosity in the subject matter and excellent analytical and communication skills, orally as well as literally, are needed. This is why we are looking for creative and independent candidates with documented analytical capacity and excellent language skills. Leadership and organizational skills are also valuable abilities. Depending on PhD-project, a suitable background is a university masters degree in either physics, engineering physics, astronomy physics, mathematics, computer science, chemistry or chemical engineering.
