Please pass on to interested students. Apologies for multiple copies. -------------------------------------------------------------------- New PhD Positions (DEADLINE 1 March 2000! See "How to apply" below.) Department of Computing Science, Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborgs University, Sweden The Department has about 60 researchers, half being faculty members and half PhD students. Our focus is on programming logic and type theory, functional programming, formal methods, distributed and concurrent systems, security, algorithms, and computational linguistics, but research is not restricted to these topics. For more information, see 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 to 16200 SEK per month in the first year (the exact amount depends on teaching duties, usually 20% of your time), which offers a higher standard of living than for most PhD students elsewhere. 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 are native Swedes; the rest come from more than 20 different countries. 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 you expect to have such a degree by September 2000. The School especially welcomes female applicants. How to apply ------------ First, immediately register your intention to apply using the electronic application form on the WWW at http://www.md.chalmers.se/Jobs/PhD/phd-00-en.thtml The full application should give 1 name, age, gender, nationality, post and email address, tel/fax no. 2 transcripts of grades from your undergraduate degree(s); 3 a statement of research interests; 4 some letters of recommendation from your teachers or employers; 5 copies of any scientific papers you have written.
