One Year Post Doctoral Research Fellowships
The Swedish National Strategic Research Centre on Embedded Software PROGRESS

Mälardalen University is an expansive university with a strong focus on engineering, and the School of Innovation, Design and Engineering is a research intensive environment with strong focus on Embedded systems, Real-time systems and Software Engineering.

PROGRESS
The Swedish national strategic research centre on embedded software PROGRESS, hosted by Mälardalen University in Västerås, Sweden, is offering excellent career opportunities for top-talents by providing
8 one year post doctoral research fellowships
with possible extension to two years

Earliest starting date: September 1st 2009

Deadline for submissions: June 30, 2009 (cut-off date; submissions received after that date are welcome and will be considered as long as there are fellowships available)

Required qualifications: PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent) and proven research excellence in at least one of the areas listed below.

Application

Research areas

Prospective candidates should have a proven track record related to one of the following research directions:

- Component Model
This research direction has the main responsibility for developing ProCom, the component model to which all PROGRESS activities are linked.

- Formal Modelling and Analysis
This research direction works in the area of formal models, analysis techniques, and tools for verification of embedded systems.

- Timing Analysis
This research direction deals with code-level timing analysis techniques for components and component-based systems, mainly Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) analysis.

- Dependability
This research direction focuses on techniques for analyzing and ensuring dependability of component based real-time systems.

- Deployment
This research direction provides mappings and translations from the software design to executing code on particular target platforms.

- Development Environment and Process
This research direction provides a tool infrastructure with a set of basic tools and support for integration of other tools (provided by PROGRESS or externally), as well as guidelines for component-based development processes, and techniques for integrating such development in existing processes.

- Componentization of Legacy
This research direction provides methods and techniques that assist in integrating legacy code in the component-based development, as well as providing faithful execution of legacy code in a component-based setting.

- Legacy Property Prediction
This research direction focuses on existing industrial "legacy" systems, with the purpose of providing timing and resource usage information necessary for componentization of legacy code.
