The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden with approximately 270 employees from more than 30 countries is widely recognized for excellent research and education. Our department is located in Sweden's second largest city Gothenburg - the world's most sustainable destination every year since 2016 according to the Global Destination Sustainability Index. The four research divisions at our department are essential scientific facilitators in a vibrant ecosystem of software-intensive companies such as Volvo, Ericsson, and Einride. This ecosystem is complemented by a growing start-up scene supported by collaboration hubs like MobilityX Labs and AI Sweden, the national center for applied AI that is bringing together over 120 partners across public and private sectors including academia.
We are announcing one PhD position that is placed at the Division for Interaction Design and Software Engineering with the University of Gothenburg as the employer. Our division provides world-leading research and education in the development of complex and software-intense systems and is characterized by extensive international cooperation as well as close collaboration with the local industry. With approximately 50 researchers including PhD students, PostDocs, and professors, we are one of the largest academic software engineering research groups in the world. Our core expertise is in AI Engineering (both AI for SE and SE for AI), software testing, requirements engineering, behavioral software engineering, and software engineering for automotive systems. Being broadly recognized in the academic community, our division has hosted top international conferences such as ICSE, SPLC, ICSA, REFSQ, and EASE during the past recent years.
Project description
Together with the successful applicant, we aim to investigate, develop, and systematically evaluate automated approaches to improve the safety, security, and adaptability of cyber-physical systems, so that they better meet humans' needs. In the past, we have developed approaches to elicit quality requirements from human users, to explain the quality tradeoffs in automated planning using machine learning techniques, and to monitor systems in an adaptive way. Depending on the context that a system operates in, it might be more or less desirable to ask a human for help, start collaborative tasks, or to give control to a human user. How can safety and security constraints be guaranteed in such contexts? How can systems plan their actions in a human-aware way? How can possible attacks and faults in cyber-physical systems be effectively identified and mitigated?
As part of the postdoc position, you will have the opportunity to engage in both empirical research and constructive research. Constructive research involves designing architectures of human-aware systems, programming, or developing formal models to reason about these systems. Empirical research includes running experiments and performing studies with humans to assess the usefulness of the developed approaches.
You will be collaborating with a group of PhD students working on similar topics and have the opportunity to support the group leader in supervision activities.
The successful applicant's position will be funded by WASP. Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) is Sweden's largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems. The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish industry. Read more:

To qualify for this position you must hold a doctoral degree, awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline, connected to software engineering, computer science, or related areas. Experience with safety and security aspects of cyber-physical systems, model-driven engineering, and empirical research is beneficial.
Furthermore, we value well-developed problem-solving skills demonstrated through your academic track record. You are also expected to master both written and spoken English.
Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for three years. The position's time is divided between 80% research and 20% departmental duties (e.g., teaching).
