Duties
Concurrent programs are (more and more) present at different levels of computer systems, ranging from distributed applications for large networks to basic software running on multi-core processors. The design and development of concurrent systems present many challenges due to the complexity of their behaviors that result from the interactions between their components. It is, therefore, crucial to develop formal methods to verify their correctness automatically concerning some specifications. This project aims to design fundamental techniques and tools that extend state-of-the-art verification of concurrent programs. To that end, the Ph.D. student will establish the required theoretical basis and carry out a substantial implementation effort to produce verification tools that will run on real programs.

The position is for four years of research but will typically include 20% teaching extending five years. You will be expected to teach in Swedish or English.

Requirements
The candidate should have a Master of Science in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or equivalent, ideally with a strong background in theory (automata, logic, algorithms, etc.) and good programming skills. Good English communication skills, both spoken and written, are required.

Additional qualifications
Practical experience in software development (including tool prototype development) is a plus.

Rules governing PhD students are set out in the Higher Education Ordinance chapter 5, §§ 1-7 and in Uppsala University's rules and guidelines.
