PhD position for a software engineer of swarm systems
The Institute of Networked and Embedded Systems at the University
of Klagenfurt, Austria, has an opening for a researcher (PhD
student) on the topic of software engineering of swarm systems.
Swarm systems consist of a high number of autonomous agents, which
interact with each other so that the emerging swarm performs a
desired function. The topic of the PhD is to address the software
design for such systems as well as investigate how unwanted swarm
effects can be avoided. Other aspects involve simulation of such
systems and using swarm approaches in games.
You will mainly work in an European project on Cyber-Physical
Swarm Systems, which runs until end of 2019. The position is
offered at the Smart Grids group at the Institute of Networked and
Embedded Systems under the supervision of Professor Wilfried
Elmenreich. The institute cooperates with national and
international partners from industry and academia and is part of
the research cluster Lakeside Labs (self-organizing networked
systems).
Our team is very international and dedicated to quality research
and teaching. Our working language is english. The offices and
laboratories are located in the well-equipped Lakeside Science
& Technology Park. Working language is English. The Institute
cooperates with national and international partners in research
and industry. It is part of the research cluster Lakeside Labs on
self-organizing networked systems.
The candidate is expected to have a master in electrical or
computer engineering, computer science, applied mathematics or
equivalent. Experience in one or more of the following fields is
required:
Distributed and swarm algorithms
Genetic algorithms and evolutionary design
Very good programming skills in Java
The contract will be based on 40 hours per week with a gross
salary of 38235 EUR per year. Please mail applications containing
a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, copies of academic
certificates and courses, list of publications, and contact
details of two references in a single PDF file to address@hidden
no later than August 25, 2017. Women are especially encouraged to
apply.
