Postdoctoral position in Software & System Architecture of Equipment for Vehicle Tests

Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1) with 80 research and 20 % teaching.

Description

Software Engineering is a strategic area at the department and activities in the field are envisaged to grow further. To this end, the Software Engineering division was founded in 2010 by University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology in a joint venture. Within the SE division, research ranges from software architecture, requirements, process improvement and change management, human factors, model-driven software development, agile processes, to verification and validation. In 2011, the Software Center was established in close collaboration with industrial partners, which presents excellent opportunities to conduct research with industry. The division actively collaborates with industrial partners, particularly, from the automotive and telecommunications domain in national and international research projects.

The focus area of the research project is test equipment to systematically evaluate active safety systems in vehicles on a proving ground. Especially, requirements and design criteria regarding software interfaces to this test equipment (like balloon cars) and the management of the test data are of main interest.

Major responsibilities
The holder of this position will work and participate in a research project with industrial partners in the area of test methods for active safety systems in vehicles. The research shall focus on identifying and assessing requirements and design criteria for test equipment and test targets focusing on software interfaces and data management and integration. The position also includes teaching on undergraduate and master's levels as well as supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.
