Research Opportunity in Software Performance Engineering

You will be part of a dynamic research environment at Chalmers University of Technology, where you will acquire the skills and knowledge to conduct independent research in software engineering, with a focus on software performance benchmarking and predicting software performance using AI techniques.

As a PhD student, you will contribute to the development of knowledge in the subject by writing a scientific dissertation and devoting 80% of your working time to performing research under the supervision of experienced researchers. The remaining 20% of your working time will be devoted to departmental duties, such as teaching assistant roles in courses offered by the university.

Our division provides world-leading research and education in the development of complex and software-intense systems, with a strong focus on AI Engineering, software testing, requirements engineering, behavioral software engineering, and software engineering for automotive systems. You will be part of a vibrant ecosystem of software-intensive companies and a growing start-up scene, with opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing.

As part of your research project, you will collect performance measurements from real projects, statistically analyze them, and conduct experiments with modern machine learning techniques to predict the performance impact of code changes. A strong background in software engineering and some interest in machine learning are required for this project.

We are announcing one PhD position that is placed at Chalmers University of Technology as the employer. Our division is characterized by extensive international cooperation and close collaboration with the local industry. With approximately 50 researchers, including PhD students, postdocs, and faculty on all levels, we are one of the largest academic software engineering research groups in the world.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct independent research in software engineering, with a focus on software performance benchmarking and predicting software performance using AI techniques.
  • Write a scientific dissertation and contribute to the development of knowledge in the subject.
  • Devote 80% of your working time to performing research and 20% to departmental duties, such as teaching assistant roles.
  • Collect performance measurements from real projects, statistically analyze them, and conduct experiments with modern machine learning techniques.

We are offering a PhD position that is 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, and be enrolled in the WASP PhD School in addition to the PhD school at CSE.
