The Department of Software Engineering consists of about 50 researchers and teachers from 20 countries. Our tradition in software engineering traces back to 1990 when we pioneered Sweden’s first academic education in the area in cooperation with Ericsson. The department’s research and education environment, SERL Sweden – the Software Engineering Research and Education Lab, has since then expanded and is now positioned among the world leaders in software engineering research. The department is responsible for education programs in software engineering from the Bachelor's level up to postgraduate level.
Work description
The position is a combination of studies, industrial research, and teaching in software engineering. The position focuses on empirical research with organizations developing market-driven software-intensive products and services, particularly how continuous software engineering impacts their ways of working, practices, methods, and principles.
Continuous software engineering is a family of concepts that consider software engineering elements such as inception, planning, development, verification and validation, release, and evolution not as separate activities but as ongoing and interconnected processes. A key aspect of continuous engineering is the extensive use of data and feedback loops to fine-tune both the engineering process and the software.
Our tradition of close cooperation with industry means that we expect the candidate to be able to relate to the challenges of industrial software engineering, i.e., with prior experience and background in the development of market-driven products. We also expect the candidates to have sufficient knowledge of data analysis and tools to perform quantitative analysis on industrial data.
We particularly welcome candidates with a track record of utilizing agile/lean practices, such as DevOps, CI/CD, value-based software engineering, and expertise in data- and evidence-driven process improvements.
Rules and benefits for doctoral students in Sweden apply to this position. The doctoral student will have an individual study plan in software engineering.
Eligibility requirements
To be employed as a Ph.D. student, it is required that the applicant is or will be admitted to postgraduate education.
Eligible for admission to postgraduate education is a person who has completed a degree at an advanced level in a technical, mathematical, or scientific field or who has otherwise acquired knowledge to be able to benefit from postgraduate education in the subject.
Meriting competencies and experience
In addition to the requirements described in the work description, eligibility requirements, and assessment criteria for the position, the following degrees, competencies, and experiences are considered a merit:
Place of employment: Karlskrona.
Employment level: 100%.
Commencement: To be agreed.
