PhD student positions in Computing Science (automated theorem proving), Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

PhD Positions
                 Division of Computing Science,
                Chalmers University of Technology

http://chalmersnyheter.chalmers.se/chalmers03/english/eng_vacanciesarticle.
jsp?article=8730

The Division has about 80 researchers, half being faculty members and half
 
PhD students. Our focus is on algorithms, bioinformatics, distributed 
systems and computing, functional programming, formal methods, interaction
 
design, language technology, language based security, parallel and high 
performance computing, programming logic and type theory, but research is
 
not restricted to these topics.

For more information, see 
http://www.chalmers.se/cse/EN/research/research-groups

Knowledge of Swedish is not a prerequisite for application. English is our
 
working language for research. Both Swedish and English are used in 
undergraduate courses. Half of our researchers and PhD students are native
 
Swedes; the rest come from more than 20 different countries.

Applicants must have a very good undergraduate degree in Computing Science
 
or in a related subject with a strong Computing Science component. They 
must also have a strong, documented interest in doing research.

You may even apply if you have not yet completed your degree, but expect 
to do so by 1 September 2007.

We particularly encourage applicants with interests in:

- applying techniques from functional programming to develop novel methods
 
of hardware design and verification. For more information on this point 
contact Mary Sheeran (ms(at)cs.chalmers.se);

- automated theorem proving, SAT-solving, and functional programming. For
 
more information on this point see 
http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~koen/folkung/, or contact Koen Claessen 
(koen(at)chalmers.se);

- distributed algorithms for providing coordination services to networked
 
or multiprocessor applications. For more information on this point see the
 
webapages of the group Distributed Computing and Systems 
http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~dcs/ or contact Marina Papatriantafilou 
(ptrianta(at)cs.chalmers.se);

- program analysis for software engineering. For more information on this
 
point see the webpage of the group Software Methodologies and Systems 
(http://sms.cs.chalmers.se, "Open Positions") or contact Sibylle Schupp 
(<lastname>@cs.chalmers.se).

The department especially welcomes female applicants.
