Associate/Assistant Professor in Formal Methods for Safe and Secure Systems

The Section on Formal Methods for Safe and Secure Systems at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (DTU Compute) of the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as an assistant or associate professor in Formal Methods for Safe and Secure Systems. The position is available from July 1, 2020 or according to mutual agreement.

The section on Formal Methods for Safe and Secure Systems conducts research and research-based teaching activities in several areas of formal methods. We envision a safe and secure digital society supported by reliable and trustworthy IT-based systems with theoretically well-founded guarantees and we strongly believe that formal methods constitute a key set of theoretically well-founded techniques and tools for the design and analysis of such systems. Our mission is to lead the advancement of scientific knowledge in the area of formal methods for safe and secure systems to cope with current and future scientific and practical challenges, and to educate new generations of computer scientists and engineers in the foundations and in the state-of-the-art of formal methods for safe and secure systems.

We have a rich international network of collaborators and our research is often conducted within national and international collaborative research projects. We are located in an exciting academic environment. DTU Compute has around 100 faculty members and 130 PhD students, organised in research-based sections that cover several areas of computer science, mathematics and statistics. The entire university comprises around 6,000 staff members and 11,200 students. Other academic and research institutions are located in the area, offering many possibilities for academic interactions and collaborations.

The position is at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor.

Candidates with an excellent research background and publication record, and that are able to combine theory and practice of formal methods, for example, through tool-supported formal methods techniques, are particularly encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities and tasks
With this position, we want to strengthen our teaching and research competences within formal methods, programming languages, and related techniques and tools for the design and analysis of safe and secure systems. 

The successful candidate is expected to conduct high-quality scientific research at the international level, including scientific publications in highly reputed venues, ability to combine theoretical and practical aspects of formal methods, and participation in collaborative research projects. We are looking forward to a colleague that can interact with and expand our current activities in the design and analysis of safe and secure systems.

The current teaching portfolio of the section for formal methods includes courses on semantics, models of computation, programming languages, interpreters and compilers, formal methods, program analysis, model checking, security, and distributed and concurrent programming. At the bachelor level, we teach mandatory courses that introduce to the above mentioned topics. At the master level, our courses are aligned with the study line “Safe and Secure by Design” which provides a coherent teaching programme for the construction of reliable and trustworthy systems, built upon research-based theories, techniques and tools based on formal methods, taught by internationally-recognised experts in those fields. The successful candidate is expected to teach and take part in the development of teaching at the bachelor, master, and PhD levels at DTU. We are looking forward to a colleague that can help us ensure that our courses on programming languages topics are based on foundations and on the state-of-the-art of research in formal methods.

Master and PhD courses are taught in English, while bachelor courses are taught in Danish and in English. Non Danish speakers will be offered support to learn Danish in order to participate in teaching on all levels.

The duties of an assistant professor include research-based teaching and research (including publication/scientific dissemination duties), and innovation. The distribution between the various duties may vary periodically, but a balance must be struck such that the assistant professor is able to develop in both research and teaching. The section is keen to ensure that an assistant professor is given supervision and guidance, and develops a teaching portfolio in order to qualify for an associate professorship.

The duties of an associate professor include research, research-based teaching (with associated examination duties) and innovation. The distribution between the various tasks may vary and will be planned in collaboration with the head of the section on Formal Methods for Safe and Secure Systems. The qualification requirements for the position of associate professor correspond to the level that is achievable through employment as an assistant professor.
