Uppsala University hereby declares the following positions to be open for application:
Two post-doc positions in Computer Science or Scientific Computing
at the Department of Information Technology, UPMARC centre of excellence
Topic: Methods and tools for software development for multicore computer systems
within one or several of following areas:computer architecture, computer networks, programming language technology, real-time and embedded systems, scientific computing, semantics, testing, verification.
One of the positions is reserved for the area of programming language technology.
Description: The holder of the position will be involved in research, aiming at developing methods and tools for software development for multicore computer systems, within one or several of the above areas:
The positions are placed within the UPMARC centre of excellence at Uppsala University. UPMARC has been formed to make a broad coordinated attack on the challenges of developing methods and tools to support development of parallel software, and has been awarded a ten year Linnaeus grant from the Swedish Research Council, as a sign of scientific excellence. See http://www.upmarc.se
A Post-Doctoral position requires a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent. The degree should typically have been obtained not more than three years ago. A Post-Doctoral position is time-limited for a maximum of two years, and may include some teaching (at most 20%).
Criteria for ranking: When ranking several qualified applicants, scientific skills will be of great importance. The university aims to recruit the person who, in the combined evaluation of competence, skills and documented qualification, is judged most suitable to independently carry out and develop the work at hand, and to contribute to a positive development of UPMARC and the department. For one of the positions, particular weight will be ascribed to scientific skills in programming language technology. The applicant must have good skills in spoken and written English.
Applications should include a description of research interests and past experience, a CV, copies of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of Ph.D. thesis (or a draft thereof), relevant publications, and other relevant documents. Candidates are encouraged to provide letter(s) of recommendation and contact information to reference persons, and further to indicate their preferred research project(s) or research direction(s), as well as earliest feasible starting date of employment.
The department is striving to achieve a more equal gender balance and female candidates are particularly invited to apply.
Some information about health- and childcare in Sweden:
Healthcare incurs only small fees. Parental benefits are generous, allowing 13 months of parental leave, extending the length of employment correspondingly. Childcare is of high quality and very affordable.
