Please pass on to interested students. Apologies for multiple copies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- New PhD Positions (DEADLINE 1 March 2001! See "How to apply" below.) Department of Computing Science, Chalmers University of Technology & University of Gothenburg Sweden The Department has about 70 researchers, half being faculty members and half PhD students. Our focus is on programming logic, type theory, functional programming, formal methods, distributed and concurrent systems, security, algorithms, bioinformatics, human computer interaction, and computational linguistics, but research is not restricted to these topics. For more information, see http://www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Research. PhD positions are for 5 years. There is no tuition fee. A PhD position is a regular job with social benefits; the salary amounts currently to about 16700 SEK per month in the first year (the exact amount depends on teaching duties, usually 20% of your time). Knowledge of Swedish is not a prerequisite for application. English is our working language for research. Both Swedish and English are used in undergraduate courses. Half of our researchers and PhD students are native Swedes; the rest come from more than 20 different countries. Applicants must have a very good undergraduate degree in Computing Science or in a related subject with a strong Computing Science component. They must also have a strong interest in doing research. You may also apply if you have not yet completed your degree, but expect to do so by September 2001. You are also invited to apply for our new International Master's Programme in Dependable Computer Systems, which can help you to obtain the necessary qualification (see http://www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Education/dcs/) The School especially welcomes female applicants. How to apply ------------ First, immediately register your intention to apply using the electronic application form on the WWW via http://www.md.chalmers.se/Jobs/PhD/phd-01-en.thtml The full application should contain 1 A letter of application, listing specific research interests 2 A curriculum vitae 3 Attested copies of degrees and other certificates 4 Copies of relevant work, for example dissertations or articles, that you have authored or co-authored 5 A description of: a previous teaching experience, documented, if any b previous PhD studies, also in other subjects.
