• Acceleration of domain-specific workloads (e.g., scientific computing, databases, ML, etc.);
• Algorithmic verification, in particular verification and testing of concurrent programs;
• Application of machine learning to computer systems and computer networks;
• Communications research, in particular backscatter communication and battery-free communication;
• Computer architecture, in particular microarchitecture, security, network-on-chip, hardware/software co-design, and memory systems and the integration of programmable capabilities into caches, prefetchers, and coherence;
• Cyber-physical systems, in particular focus on challenges related to interoperability, sustainability, autonomy and intelligence;
• Security, in particular security of networked embedded IoT systems and applications, and techniques for software security including verification and testing;
• Persistence in extremely low-power embedded IoT systems, including intermittently computing devices using energy harvesting.

The positions will be held for two years and will include research and a limited amount (max 20%) of teaching.

Requirements
PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent. The degree needs to be obtained by the time of the decision of employment. Those who have obtained a PhD degree three years prior to the application deadline are primarily considered for the employment. The starting point of the three-year frame period is the application deadline. Due to special circumstances, the degree may have been obtained earlier. The three-year period can be extended due to circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in labour unions, etc.

Additional qualifications
High-quality publications in international peer-reviewed journals or conferences are expected. The applicant should be highly motivated, able to work well in a diverse group, comfortable giving and receiving constructive criticism, and have strong abilities for critical thinking and structured work.

Assessment Criteria/Ranking
The ranking of eligible applicants will be based primarily on research expertise. In filling this position the University aims to appoint the applicant who, following a qualitative holistic assessment of her/his competence and expertise is judged to have the best potential to carry out the relevant duties and to contribute to the advancement of research at the Division of Computer Systems.

In the overall assessment of the applicant’s qualifications, parental leave, part-time work relating to care of children, union assignments, military service, or the like are to be regarded as work experience, and should be listed as merits in the application.

Working in Sweden: Sweden is a fantastic place for living and working. Swedes are friendly and speak excellent English. The quality of life is high, with a strong emphasis on outdoor activities. The Swedish working climate emphasizes an open atmosphere, with active discussions involving both junior and senior staff. All post-docs are full employees, with standard salaries and five weeks of paid holiday. Spouses of employees are entitled to work permits. Healthcare is free after a small co-pay and the university subsidizes athletic costs, such as a gym membership. The parental benefits in Sweden are among the best in the world, including extensive parental leave (for both parents), paid time off to care for sick children, and affordable daycare.
