Job description
The position as Professor or Associate Professor is a full time tenure employment. The candidate is expected to reinforce and complement the department’s research in Systems and Network Security. The applicant is expected to focus especially on security research for vehicles connected to the Internet, ICT in the smart grid, Cyber-Physical systems, Cloud Computing, Embedded systems, Operating systems and Mobile systems. We expect our applicant to demonstrate academic leadership, ability to direct research, and to attract research money. A criterion for success is the extent to which the candidate’s research programme stands out in uniqueness while at the same time linking to research that is taking place at our division and department.

We also expect the applicant to develop and teach courses within our international Master’s program Computer Systems and Networks. One of the depart­ment’s missions is to play a leading role in some of the Areas of Advance at Chalmers: Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Transportation and Energy. The department expects that the applicant will contribute to and advance our collaboration in these areas.

Suitable background and qualifications
The employment can be at different levels, depending on the candidate's experience.

The position as full professor requires a very high level of documented research. The applicant must have a strong research record and excellent credentials, not only in computer science and engineering in general, but in particular in the areas mentioned in the job description above. The emphasis in computer systems security is decidedly on systems rather than cryptography and theory. Experience from cooperation in international projects is a clear advantage.

For employment as Associate professor, a qualification corresponding to the Swedish "docent" level is required.

The working language in the research group is English. The undergraduates are normally taught in Swedish, but the graduate level teaching is in English. Thus good language skills are required. Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
