[DMANET] Kiel University: Two PhD student / PostDoc positions for software verification

Two PhD student / PostDoc positions for software verification

Kiel University is Germany's northernmost State University and a scientific
centre of northern Germany. It was founded in 1665, and today assembles
more than 24,000 students and about 2,000 scientists in eight faculties.

We are looking for talented research-oriented people who are interested in
research on software verification. A successful candidate should have or
be on track for a Master degree in Computer Science with a high degree. A
PhD in Computer Science is required for a PostDoc employment. A solid
knowledge in at least two of the following areas is expected: abstract
interpretation, model checking, constraint solving, parallel algorithms.
Experience in programming highly parallel machines would be of an
advantage, but is not mandatory. The positions are connected to projects
funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research for up to 3 years.
The positions will involve the cooperation with other groups both in
academic and industrial (mainly automotive) environments.

We expect the candidates to be fluent in English both in speaking and
writing. Good knowledge of German is preferable but not mandatory.

The Kiel University is an equal opportunity employer. The positions will be
associated to the Dependable Systems group in the Institute of Computer
Science; see zs.uni-kiel.de. We are an international, young, and expanding
group with research interests ranging from theoretical Computer Science to
the application of formal methods in industrial settings.

Applications in electronic form with the usual documents (certificates, CV,
publication list if applicable, etc.) are to be sent as PDF files to Prof.
Dr. Dirk Nowotka (dn@zs.uni-kiel.de).
