Assistant Senior Lecturer in Theoretical Computer Science, Stockholm (Sweden)

Open position, Assistant Senior Lecturer in Computer Science specialized
to Theoretical Computer Science.

School of Computer Science and Communication, the Royal Institute of
Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.

In Theoretical Computer Science we use mathematical and logic methods to
model aspects of interest in computers and computational processes.
Current activities at KTH are in algorithms, complexity, approximation and
approximability, cryptography, uncertainty management, decision support,
semantics and software engineering with formal methods, and language
technology.

Eligibility

PhD in computer Science or related subject. Degree should be awarded and
not more than five years old at the closing date for the announcement,
unless special reasons elaborated in Swedish University regulations apply
(HF 4 Kap, 8a ?).

Assessment

The applicants will be assessed according to scientific and teaching
excellence. The successful candidate is expected to complement or
strengthen current research and education in theoretical computer science
at KTH CSC, and to be able to get external funding for research projects.
Moreover, she/he will interact with society and inform the public about
research and development.  Special importance will be given to scientific
qualifications.

Employment

An assistant senior lecturer is to be occupied, for four years, mainly
with research. Typically, some 25% of his/her time is to be devoted to
teaching; this should also include tutoring efforts in connection with
degree projects or suchlike. Posts as assistant senior lecturer may be
extended by an extra year to five years, should the individual person have
been occupied in teaching for more than 25% of his/her time.

In the course of his/her employment period, the assistant senior lecturer
will be given the opportunity to acquire useful qualifications and
experiences for himself/herself; this is to enable the person to be
eligible for promotion to senior lecturer. In order to be promoted to the
post of senior lecturer, scientific merits equalling those at the academic
level of 'docent' are required. Here the individual?s own ability to
obtain financial support for his/her research from outside the university
is an element of interest when considering promotion.
