Job description

Assistant professor in Software engineering with specialization in Machine learningLinköpingReferensnummer LiU-2024-05784We have the power of over 40,000 students and co-workers. Students who provide hope for the future. Co-workers who contribute to Linköping University meeting the challenges of the day. Our fundamental values rest on credibility, trust and security. By having the courage to think freely and innovate, our actions together, large and small, contribute to a better world. We look forward to receiving your application!Work assignmentsThe purpose of the employment is that the assistant professor is to be given the opportunity to develop independence as a researcher and to obtain both the research and teaching qualifications required for employment as associate professor.As part of the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA), the Division of Software and Systems (SaS) conducts research, undergraduate and postgraduate education in areas such as software technology, programming environments, system software, embedded software and hardware systems, computer system technology, cyber security, real-time systems and theoretical computer science. The PELAB (Programming Environment Laboratory) research group focuses on tools and methods for the development and quality assurance of software-intensive systems.As an assistant professor in software engineering with specialization in machine learning, your primary duty will be to conduct cutting-edge research to develop advanced machine learning techniques used for model-driven engineering (MDE). Machine learning, and in particular, large language models are rapidly transforming various areas of our daily life including software-intensive systems. This position focuses on the integration and application of large language models (LLMs) to advance model-driven engineering (MDE). In MDE, models are central to software development, serving as high-level abstractions to automate code generation, system analysis, and transformation processes. LLMs hold significant potential to enhance these tasks, enabling natural language processing capabilities that can interpret, generate, and refine engineering models based on human language inputs. Research in this area explores the use of LLMs to automate aspects of MDE, such as requirements extraction, model synthesis, and automated code generation, creating smarter tools that respond to complex engineering workflows used for critical cyber-physical systems. The field leverages machine learning to bring greater automation, efficiency, and accuracy to MDE processes, bridging gaps between high-level design and executable software systems. The research language is expected to be English.As an assistant professor in software engineering with specialization in machine learning, you will teach at undergraduate and postgraduate level dominantly in English as well as supervise students in the faculty’s different educational programmes. The work includes course design and course coordination responsibility. As a specific duty foreseen for this position, you will be developing and teaching online courses for a diverse audience of students.You are active in the research community, participate in the division’s activities such as seminars and workshops, participate in research projects, communicate results through scientific publications and help attract external research funding.You contribute actively to the university’s development work. Collaboration is an integral part of the university’s research and education mission. Collaboration in research takes the form of disseminating, making available and utilising research.Your work includes monitoring developments nationally and internationally within your field of study and other societal developments that are important to your work.You are flexible and have the ability to move between different types of pedagogical and scientific contexts. You share knowledge and contribute to the working group’s professional development, collegial ways of working and social community. The fact that you are present and active is something we see as self-evident in order to ensure that you are able to perform your duties in an optimum way and enjoy your working community.QualificationsWe are looking for candidates who have a doctoral degree or equivalent scientific competence. We are primarily looking for candidates who have obtained their doctoral degree in the past five years.For this employment special emphasis will be placed on academic expertise.In terms of academic expertise, the following will be assessed:

• Required: Publication record of international calibre in leading conferences and journals of software engineering
• Required: Services to research community (e.g. reviewing journal papers, program committee memberships)
• Meritorious: international recognitions and proofs of research excellence (e.g. international research awards)
• Meritorious: publications in leading scientific venues of model-driven engineering

In terms of pedagogical expertise, the following will be assessed:

• Required: Early supervisory experience in mentoring PhD and MSc students
• Meritorious: Initial teaching experience in first or second level university courses
• Particularly meritorious: demonstrated experience in teaching first or second level courses in an online setting.

Of merit for the position is documented expertise in collaboration in research.Since teaching and research is dominantly conducted in English, you must demonstrate the ability to teach and conduct research in English.The workplaceThe Department of Computer and Information Science was founded in 1983 but its roots go back to the early 1970s. It is one of the largest computer science departments in northern Europe.Our research covers a broad spectrum of fields, from core to applied computer sciences. Its vast scope also benefits our undergraduate and graduate programmes, and we now teach courses in several engineering programmes at bachelor’s and master’s levels, as well as the programmes in statistics, cognitive science and innovative programming.Read more atThe position in placed in the Division for Software and Systems (SaS), welcome to read more about us at .The employmentThe length of employment for this position is 6 years, full time.Starting date by agreement.An assistant professor may be employed until further notice, for a minimum period of four years and a maximum period of six years, as determined by the institution of higher education before the employment begins. The employment may be renewed, by a maximum period of two years, if, as a consequence of sick absence, parental leave, or other special circumstances of the assistant professor, additional time is necessary in order to achieve the purpose of the employment.An assistant professor shall, after application, be promoted to associate professor if he/she is qualified for employment as associate professor and has been assessed following a test to be suitable for such employment according to the grounds for assessment that the University has determined.For more information on eligibility requirements, assessment criteria and recruitment procedures for teachers, see Linköping University’s rules of appointment.
