[Concurrency] PhD Studentship / Post Doc Positions at the
PhD Studentship / Post Doc Positions
The Chair for Software Engineering at the University of Konstanz has a
number of immediately available openings for full-time Research
Assistant positions. While there is a preference on filling these
positions with PhD candidates, it is also possible to fill them with
Post-Doctoral fellows.
The Chair for Software Engineering offers an attractive, international
and ethnically diverse working environment. The University of Konstanz
has recently been selected as one of Germany’s nine elite
universities. English is a working language within the Chair, and PhD
and Habilitation theses can be written in English. The Chair possesses
comfortable funding to allow members to present and establish their
research results in international scientific conferences and to
participate in summer schools, seminars and other scientific events.
Research at the Chair for Software Engineering is focused at
developing automated tools and methods for the analysis and
construction of complex software systems. Possible work areas for the
positions include model checking, real-time and stochastic model
checking, software model checking, and the formal foundations of model
based design and development. The Chair is a member of the DFG funded
PhD program Explorative Analysis and Visualization of Large
Information Spaces, an associate member of the DFG funded
collaborative research center AVACS, and holds a number of individual
research grants. We also collaborate with local software industry.
Applicants at the Post-Doctoral level (position reference 2008-1) are
required to possess an outstanding PhD degree in Computer Science or a
very closely related discipline, as well as an initial record of
peer-reviewed publications. There is a possibility to work towards a
German Habilitation degree. PhD candidates (position reference
2008-2) must possess a first University degree (normally, a Master or
a Diploma degree) in Computer Science or a very closely related
discipline. Fluency in speech and writing in English is
required. Basic competency in German, or willingness to acquire this,
is advisable. The positions are initially available for a term of up
to 2 years, but it is expected that employment beyond this term will
be possible. The salary will be according to the German public service
payscale TVL.
Konstanz is located in the highly attractive Lake Constance (Bodensee)
area at the southern rim of Germany. Lake Constance offers splendid
recreational opportunities, and the Black Forest as well as the Swiss
and Austrian Alps are within easy reach. The closest city with an
international airport is Zurich (Switzerland), reachable in about 60
minutes by train.
The University of Konstanz aims to increase the percentage of women in
research and teaching, and therefore encourages female candidates
meeting the above qualifications to apply. Applicants with
disabilities will be preferred if they possess equal
qualifications. Please send you application (electronically, as a
single PDF file), including a CV, a list of publications (if
applicable), complete copies of academic certificates and transcripts,
the names of at least two academic references, and the earliest
possible start date by Wednesday, 9 April 2008, mentioning the
appropriate position reference, to Professor Stefan Leue, email:
