Join Our Research Team

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research team at Chalmers University of Technology. As a PhD student, you will be part of an exciting research environment and acquire the skills to conduct independent research in the field of software engineering, with a special focus on software performance benchmarking and predicting of software performance using AI techniques.

About the Project

As a PhD student, you will work on a research project that involves (micro-)benchmarking Java-based applications using JMH. You will collect performance measurements from real projects, statistically analyze them, and conduct experiments with modern machine learning techniques (e.g., deep neural networks, graph neural networks, or active learning) with the goal of predicting the performance impact of code changes.

About the Department

Our department is located in Sweden's second-largest city, Gothenburg, and is widely recognized for excellent research and education. We are one of the largest academic software engineering research groups in the world, with approximately 50 researchers including PhD students, postdocs, and faculty on all levels. Our core expertise is in AI Engineering, software testing, requirements engineering, behavioral software engineering, and software engineering for automotive systems.

About the Position

The position comes with enrollment in the PhD program for Computer Science and Engineering, designed for 5 years. As a PhD student, you will devote 80% of your working time to performing research under the supervision of more experienced researchers. The remaining 20% of your working time is devoted to departmental duties, such as helping as teaching assistant in courses offered by the university.

What We Offer

As a successful applicant, you will be funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems, and Software Program (WASP). You will be part of the Sweden-wide WASP community, participate in WASP meetings, conferences, summer schools, and study trips. You will also be enrolled in the WASP PhD School in addition to the PhD school at CSE.
