07 Sep '07

Postdoctoral position in Programming Technology at the University of Bergen, Norway We are looking for an excellent researcher to fill a postdoctoral position. The position is available for a period of 2 years at the Department of Informatics, University of Bergen, Norway. It is financed by the Research Council of Norway (NFR) through the project Scientific Computing with Algebraic and Generative Abstractions for Geophysical Problems (SAGA-GEO, http://www.ii.uib.no/saga/). The project conducts basic research on the use of advanced programming technologies for e- science. The position is in this area in general, but there is a preference for an expert in programming of parallel computers. University of Bergen is a city university. Parts of the campus are in fact situated in the town centre. We have about 17.000 students and nearly 3000 employees. UiB is renowned for its research which holds a high European standard and we have three Centres of Excellence (CoE). The University of Bergen has a strong international profile which entails close co-operation with universities all over the world. The working environment will be the Programming technology Group at the Department of Informatics, University of Bergen. The group consists of 2 full-time professors, 3 adjunct professors, 1 postdoctoral fellows and 5 PhD positions. The group is very international and much of the working language is English. The project also involves cooperation with the Mathematics Department and CIPR. Applicants must have achieved a Norwegian doctorate in informatics, mathematics or an equivalent education abroad, or have presented the dissertation for assessment by the closing date for application. It is prerequisite the dissertation has been approved before appointment is granted. The chief objective of the postdoctoral position is to qualify the successful applicant for top academic positions. It is expected that the successful candidate will start late 2006 or early 2007. Salary will be paid in accordance with level 54 on the government salary scale (code 1352) currently equivalent to NOK 390 000 (1 EURO is about 8 NKR) per year before tax. There are no teaching duties. Positions in Norway include health and other benefits. Please contact Professor Magne Haveraaen http://www.ii.uib.no/~magne/ phone 47 55 58 4154 if you are interested in this position or if you have any questions. State employment shall reflect the multiplicity of the population at large to the highest possible degree. We have therefore adopted a personnel policy objective to ensure that we achieve a balanced age and sex composition and the recruitment of persons of various ethnic backgrounds. Persons of different ethnic backgrounds are therefore encouraged to apply for the position. The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to the position at any time.The University of Bergen applies the principles of public openness when recruiting staff to scientific positions.

Positions at Oxford: refactoring tools
by Oege.de.Moor＠comlab.ox.ac.uk 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Programming Tools Group University of Oxford, UK http://progtools.comlab.ox.ac.uk http://aspectbench.org >> fully funded 3-year PhD studentship << >> numerous paid 2-months internships << Applications from researchers on transformation systems (or their students) would be particularly welcome! 1. PROJECT SUMMARY: ASPECT REFACTORING TOOLS Software systems are rarely written from scratch: they evolve over long periods of time. When a change is made, this often affects many different locations in a system, and it is hard to make a change consistently. For that reason, automated tools to help the process of software change are desirable. "Refactoring" refers to the process of restructuring an existing piece of software, often prior to introducing new functionality, or to take advantage of a new technology. Refactoring must preserve the behaviour of existing code, and tools that help in refactoring both assist in the restructuring process and in checking that the behaviour has not changed. Unfortunately today's refactoring tools are very hard to construct, they are still quite limited in functionality, and they often contain bugs. This project aims to construct a framework for better refactoring tools. In particular, the work is driven by refactorings for a new set of language features, called `aspect-oriented programming' that have recently been added to Java. Our framework will be based on developments in three separate areas of computer science: * `strategies' to control the process of rewriting program code, from the `term rewriting' community * `reference attributed grammars' to specify the conditions that guarantee behaviour is preserved, from the `compilers' community * `incremental evaluation' of declarative rules, from the `functional and logic programming' community. The quality of our framework will be assessed by coding selected case studies using alternative methods. In particular, we shall implement several refactorings directly in Eclipse, the leading development environment for writing aspect-oriented programs in industry. The project is funded by the EPSRC (UK equivalent of NSF). 2. REQUIREMENTS The PhD student will be concerned with the theoretical foundations of the refactoring framework, for instance proofs of correctness for refactorings, and also for the incremental evaluation mechanism. We are thus looking for someone with good mathematical skills, in particular regarding formal properties of type systems and program analyses. Candidates must have an outstanding undergraduate or master's degree in computer science. Funding is provided to pay for university fees at EU level (overseas candidates need supplementary funding), plus subsistence, travel, equipment etc. The 2-months positions are intended to assist with implementation work. We are thus looking for highly skilled Java programmers; familiarity with program analysis, formal type systems and so on will be an advantage. These internships are in fact short-term appointments as research assistants at the University of Oxford, and so the holders will be paid a salary. Interns can be outstanding undergraduate students who wish to gain research experience. 3. HOW TO APPLY The deadline for applications is March 20, 2007. * For the PhD studentship, follow the instructions on http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/prospective/dphil/ Clearly mark your application "Aspect Refactoring Tools project". Also send a full electronic copy of your application to oege(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk, by March 20, 2007. * For the 2-months positions, send a letter explaining your interest in the project, plus a full cv and the names of 3 referees to oege(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk. 4. FURTHER INFORMATION We are happy to discuss any of the above informally with prospective candidates. Just email one or all of the project leaders: Oege de Moor (oege(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk) Torbjorn Ekman (torbjorn(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk) Mathieu Verbaere (matv(a)comlab.ox.ac.uk)
