The School of Mathematical and Computing Sciences at the Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborgs University announces new PhD positions in several subjects including Computing Science. The Department of Computing Science, part of the Schol, has about 30 staff members and about 25 PhD students. The department receives funding from Esprit, and from the Swedish Government agencies TFR and NUTEK. The major topics of research are programming logic and type theory, functional programming, formal systems, cognition technology, distributed systems, concurrency, and algorithms, but research is not restricted to these. PhD positions are limited to at most five years. Usually, a PhD student will spend about 80 percent of his or her time on graduate studies, and about 20 percent on teaching. Applicants must have an undergraduate degree in Computing Science or in a related subject with a strong Computing Science component. You may also apply if your undergraduate degree is not complete but is expected to be finished by September 1, 1999. The School aims to increase the number of female employees, and especially welcomes female applicants. At the moment, the salary amounts to 16200 SEK per month in the first year. More information about the graduate programmes can be found on the WWW on page: http://www.md.chalmers.se/Jobs/PhD/phd-en.thtml which also has a pointer to an electronic application form.
