----------------------------------------------------------------------- | HATS: Highly Adaptable and Trustworthy Software using Formal Models | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
HATS is a new Integrated Project funded by the European Union, within the programme "Future and Emerging Technologies" (FET) of the 7th Framework Programme (subject to contract) starting March 2009.
The project partners from Chalmers Technical University, Gothenborg, Sweden University of Oslo, Norway Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Technical University of Madrid, Spain IMDEA Software, Spain Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, University of Bologna, Italy, Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam, Netherlands Norwegian Computer Center, Oslo, Norway Fredhopper B.V., Amsterdam, Netherlands Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental SE, Kaiserslautern, Germany, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium are jointly advertising several 3-5 year PhD, PostDoc, and Engineering positions.
The goal of HATS is a tool-supported framework and formal methodology for the development of long-lived and trustworthy software systems. Specifically, HATS will turn software product family (SWPF) development into a rigorous approach. The technical core of the project is an Abstract Behavioral Specification language which will allow precise description of SWPF features and components and their instances. For further information see:
Topic areas: Applicants should have a background and/or interest in one of the topics software modeling, modeling and programming languages, formal methods, verification, language-based security, type systems, or concurrency theory.
The following positions are offered:
* 2 PhD positions with emphasis on formal modeling and verification at Chalmers University of Technology. One of the positions is in the EU project CHARTER which is closely related to HATS. Application deadline is 9th February 2009. Contact: Prof. Reiner Haehnle. Further details and information on how to apply at http://www.chalmers.se/cse/EN/news/vacancies/positions/two-ph-d-student
* A Research Software Engineer at Fredhopper (Amsterdam). The position will comprise of industrial research on modeling and verification of key components of Fredhopper's flagship product within the EU-funded HATS research project. Fredhopper is the Nr. 1 provider of Search & Merchandising solutions for online business in Europe and industrial leader in the HATS project. Apply by 31 January 2009 for the most optimal procedure. Contact for project information: Dr. Nikolay Diakov. More information and how to apply at: http://www.fredhopper.com/public/company-opps.php?cat=0&subcat=0#researc...
* 2 PostDoc positions at the University of Bologna. The emphasis is on formal modeling and verification of the kind of concurrent systems studied in Hats using various techniques, including behavioural techniques and type systems. Application deadline is 31 January (later applications may also be taken into account). Contact: Prof. Davide Sangiorgi, see: http://www.cs.unibo.it/~sangio/Hats/vacancies.txt
* 3 PhD positions with emphasis on static analysis and security at the Technical University of Madrid/IMDEA Software. One of the positions is in the DOVES Spanish project, which is closely related to HATS. The application deadline is 25 January. Later applications may also be taken into account if the positions are not covered. Contact: Prof. German Puebla.

* 1 PhD and 1 PostDoc position in the area of software modeling and verification at the University of Kaiserslautern. The emphasis in the area of software modeling is on semantically founded integration of behavioral software models, feature-based descriptions of variability and programs. The emphasis in verification is on modular techniques for object-oriented models and model refinement. Application deadline is January 31. Later applications may also be taken into account. Contact: Prof. A. Poetzsch-Heffter. Further details and information on how to apply at http://softech.informatik.uni-kl.de/Homepage/OffeneStellen
