hela Sverige We are one of Sweden's most distinctly profiled institutes of technology, with a focus on IT and innovation for a sustainable future. A key word at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) is closeness - close cooperation with industry and society, and closeness to our students and to our management.
Our closeness to the sea is also very apparent at both campuses, as well as being a comfortable bike ride away from the city and residential areas. BTH stands for quality and new approaches and strives to be recognised as an open, exciting and creative higher education institution.
We develop new knowledge through our research, which often takes place in collaboration with wider society and with a specific application in mind. The research contributes to a sustainable future, through directly through our research results as well as indirectly, through our PhD graduates and research-based undergraduate studies. To reach our goals, we need motivated and committed staff who are provided with the conditions to deliver research and education of the highest quality. Work environment and equal opportunities are consistently on the agenda and we strive for continuous improvements. Does this sound like your future?
The Department of Software Engineering belongs to the Faculty of Computing and consists of almost 50 people from 19 countries. Our tradition in software engineering originated from 1990 when we launched Sweden's first education programme in software engineering. The department's research and education environment, SERL Sweden Software Engineering Research and Education Lab Sweden, has since then developed into one of the world's leading research institutions in software engineering. The department is responsible for study programmes in software engineering on all levels, from Bachelor over Master to PhD.
Work description:
The position comprises empirical research in software engineering in collaboration with our industry partners.
As a side product of modern software development, a wealth of data about software products and services as well as the processes used to produce them become available. These can, for example, be metrics reports, change histories, accepted/rejected bug fixes, user reviews, etc. This software engineering data can be analyzed and eventually be used to improve the quality of the software and the effectiveness of the development processes.
The research in this position involves the collection and analysis of software engineering data and proposing approaches for quality or process improvements that will eventually be piloted and evaluated.
Our tradition of close cooperation with industry means that we particularly value an interest in and experience from evaluation and improvement work in or in collaboration with industry.
Rules and benefits for PhD students in Sweden apply to this position. The doctoral student will develop an individual study plan in software engineering, together with his/her supervisor(s). The position may include up to 20% other services, e.g., teaching and supervision in undergraduate and graduate courses.
