Summary
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, a joint department of Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg, is seeking four motivated postdoctoral researchers to help design the next generation of human-in-the-loop autonomous systems. Supervised by Associate Prof. Rebekka Wohlrab, successful candidates will develop mechanisms to create safer, more secure, and more usable software-intensive systems that will impact domains such as healthcare and transportation.

Research Area
- Human-in-the-Loop Autonomous Systems
- Human-Centered Software Engineering
- Self-Adaptive Systems
- Software Architecture and Requirements Engineering
Location
Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg (Sweden)
Eligibility/Qualification
- Must be highly motivated to work on human-in-the-loop and self-adaptive systems.
- Requires knowledge in software architecture, self-adaptive systems, and requirements engineering.
- (Implied for Postdoc level): Ph.D. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Experience with empirical studies, formal modelling, cybersecurity, or physical robotics is highly relevant depending on the specific project.
Job Description
Candidates will join a growing team of over 10 people and collaborate closely with doctoral students and other postdocs. The researchers will be distributed across the following currently recruiting projects:
- SSF Project (2 positions): Funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, this project focuses on enabling collaboration between teams of humans and autonomous systems. Responsibilities may include performing empirical studies, developing run-time models for coordination reasoning, designing cybersecurity threat responses, and running evaluation experiments.
- VR Project: Funded by the Swedish Research Council, this project aims to make self-adaptive systems aware of end-user expectations. Tasks include designing a formal modeling language to describe expectations, developing methods to understand human needs and explain system actions, and evaluating contributions using simulations and physical robots.
- WASP Project (2 positions): Funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), this project focuses broadly on Human-in-the-Loop Autonomous Systems and involves heavy utilization of software architecture, self-adaptive systems, and requirements engineering.
