POSTDOC POSITIONS AVAILABLE: MODELS, TOOLS AND REALIZATIONS OF INTELLIGENT 
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

At Center for Embedded Software Systems (CISS), Department of Computer Science, 
Aalborg University, several Postdoc positions are available. The positions are 
open for appointment from July 1, 2020 or soon thereafter. The application 
deadline is June 1.

A postdoc position is for one year with an optional extension of one more year. 
The full announcement is available here: 
https://www.stillinger.aau.dk/vis-stilling/?vacancy=1098477.

The research will focus on tools and realizations of Intelligent, Embedded 
Systems with particular focus on their applications on mobile and energy aware 
systems. The positions are related to three large innovation projects which 
also include industrial partners. The projects include DONUT 
(https://www.dryp.global/donut), DiCyPS 
(https://www.dicyps.dk/dicyps-in-english/) and a newly initiated project on 
Flexible Energy (https://www.flexibleenergydenmark.com/) involving the 
Technical Universities in Denmark as well as a number of companies covering the 
full value chain of the Danish Energy System. The positions are also related to 
two newly granted EU H2020 projects on flexible energy for buildings and energy 
systems. One of them is FEVER on Flexible Energy Production, Demand and 
Storage-based Virtual Power Plants for Electricity Markets and Resilient DSO 
Operation (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/864537).

Concretely, we are looking for applicants with a strong background and interest 
in one (or both) of the following:

(1) Tools and algorithms for the analysis of real time systems: The UPPAAL tool 
family has been developed jointly with UPPSALA university, and in Aalborg, a 
number of extensions have been developed for statistical model checking, game 
analysis, test generation etc. Recently, machine learning techniques have been 
adapted.
(2) Modelling, analysis and implementation of distributed and networked 
systems: Modelling of protocols for networked and distributed systems with 
particular emphasis on their quantitative properties like real time and energy 
consumption. Implementation of such protocols in realistic IoT settings. 
Services for and interoperability of IoT systems.

Within these areas, the positions come with many freedoms in terms of the 
specific research direction, methodology, and approaches taking the specific 
project needs into consideration. Accordingly, in addition to the detailed CV 
and recommendation letters (if any), the applicant should provide a short cover 
letter which describes the applicant’s background, interests, and initial 
thoughts and ideas.

Regarding the host institution: The Computer Science Department at Aalborg 
University takes a leading international position within data management and 
verification. It is a very young university (1974) but with a strong 
international profile in Mathematics, and Computer Science & Engineering, also 
hosting the two most highly cited Computer Scientists of the country. According 
to the CWTS Leiden Ranking 2014 measuring the scientific performance of 750 
major universities worldwide, Aalborg University is ranked no. 117 worldwide 
and is the highest ranked Danish university within Mathematics, Computer 
Science & Engineering.

Aalborg is an attractive student city located at the Fjord and close to the 
Sea, and is well-connected (by car, train, but also via Aalborg Airport). 
Denmark in general and Aalborg in particular are known for their excellent 
quality of life. Denmark took the top spot on the United Nation's World 
Happiness Report, 2013 & 2014 & 2016 and came in third in the 2015 report:
