[ Apologies for multiple copies of this message ] Post-Doc Positions Available Embedded System Research Unit Center for Information and Communication Technology Fondazione Bruno Kessler Trento, Italy !!! Application Deadline Approaching !!! The Embedded System Research Unit (http://es.fbk.eu) of the Information and Communication Technology Center of the Bruno Kessler Foundation, Trento, Italy, is seeking candidates for Post-Doc positions, to be hosted according to the call of proposal Trentino - The Trentino programme of research, training and mobility of post-doctoral researchers, to be funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento, see: http://www.uniricerca.provincia.tn.it/binary/pat_uniricerca/news/call_1_post_doc_2010_incoming_en.1273589322.pdf Applications are invited in the broad field of formal verification and planning. Topics of interest include: - Model Checking - Safety Analysis - Schedulability - Planning and Run-time Monitoring Project proposals may have a duration of between two and three years. Candidate Profile = The ideal candidate should have a PhD degree in computer science, mathematics or electronic engineering, combine solid theoretical background and software development skills, and have some degree of autonomy. The candidate should be able to work in a collaborative environment, with a strong commitment to reaching research excellence and achieving assigned objectives. In depth previous experience in at least one of the following areas will be considered favorably: - Symbolic Model Checking - Propositional Satisfiability - Satisfiability Modulo Theory - Requirements Analysis - Constraint Solving and Optimization - Monitoring and Diagnosability - Software Verification - Safety Analysis (FTA, FMEA) We draw attention on the following requirements stated in the call for proposal. (1) The proposing researcher must have a PhD, obtained in Italy or abroad no more than three years before the deadline of this call. (2) The proposing researcher must not have had any working relationship (including any fellowship, scholarship, research grant, contract, cooperation) with any research organizations which have their registered office or operating centres inside Trento Province, longer than 30 days on the whole, during the two years before the deadline of this call. Applications and Inquiries == Potential candidates should express their interest and/or inquire for further information by sending email to jobs[at]fbk[dot]eu. Applications should contain a statement of interest, with a Curriculum Vitae, and the names of three reference persons. PDF format is strongly encouraged. Emails will be automatically processed and should have 'RIF: ES/postdoc' as subject. Potential candidates will be interviewed in order to define the objectives of the research activities and to obtain the endorsement of the hosting institution. If successful, they will be required to complete the application through the PAT site by July 13th, 2010. The applications will be evaluated by an independent team of experts. The Embedded System Research Unit = The Embedded Systems Unit consists of about 15 persons, including researchers, post-Doc, PhD students, and programmers. The Unit carries out research, tool development and technology transfer in the fields of design and verification of embedded systems. Current research directions include: * Satisfiability Modulo Theory, and its application to the verification of hardware, embedded critical software, and hybrid systems (Verilog, SystemC, C/C++, StateFlow/Simulink) * Formal Requirements Analysis based on techniques for temporal logics (consistency checking, vacuity detection, input determinism, cause-effect analysis, realizability and synthesis) * Model-based engineering and formal verification of aerospace systems using model checking techniques, on-board reasoning systems for autonomous vehicles using planning techniques * Formal Safety Analysis, based on the integration of traditional techniques (e.g. Fault-tree analysis, FMEA) with symbolic verification techniques The unit develops and maintains several tools: * the NuSMV symbolic model checker (http://nusmv.fbk.eu) * the MathSAT SMT solver (http://mathsat.fbk.eu) * the Formal Safety Analysis Platform FSAP (http://fsap.fbk.eu) * the Requirements Analysis Tool RAT (http://rat.fbk.eu) The unit is currently involved in several research projects, funded by the European Union, the European Space Agency, the European Railway Agency, as well as in industrial technology transfer projects.
