The mission of the SWS group is to do world-leading research on the use of models for design and analysis of software. The group is well known for work on high productivity software, functional programming, code generation for High-Performance Computing, array computing, model-based software engineering, model learning, model-based testing, model checking, combining formal verification and machine learning, proof assistants, and mathematical foundations. We find it important (and inspiring!) to cover the full spectrum from theory to applications in a single research group. Through collaboration with stakeholders from industry and society, we obtain a better understanding of when and how software science can help solve real-world problems. We have joint projects with, for instance, Canon Production Printing, ASML, Alfa Laval, Philips Healthcare, Google, Intel, Defensieacademie (NLDA), and our spin-off TOP Software Technology. Radboud University's iCIS is an internationally recognised institute, consistently ranked among the top Computer Science departments in the Netherlands. iCIS comprises an enthusiastic and devoted team of excellent scholars that closely collaborate in a flat organisational structure. The Institute focuses its research on three themes: data science, digital security and software science. Each of these themes spans the full breadth from basic fundamental research to application-oriented research. Our long-term drive is to contribute to both science and society. iCIS staff members are also responsible for the Computer Science Bachelor's and Master's programmes, the Information Science Master's programme, and for about 30% of the Bachelor's and Master's programmes in Artificial Intelligence at Radboud University. In spite of the fast-growing student numbers, these programmes are structurally evaluated as one of the best. For example, the Computer Science programme was rated best in its field in Keuzegids 2021. iCIS employees have a high level of freedom to determine the way they structure the work they carry out at Radboud University. The Institute has made a strong effort in the past few years to increase the diversity of its staff. Presently, more than half of our scientific staff has an international background. ## Radboud University We want to get the best out of science, others and ourselves. Why? Because this is what the world around us desperately needs. Leading research and education make an indispensable contribution to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all. This is what unites the more than 24,000 students and 5,600 employees at Radboud University. And this requires even more talent, collaboration and lifelong learning. You have a part to play! We offer an employment for 0.8 - 1.0 FTE: * Depending on your scientific track record and experience you will be appointed as an Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, potentially with career track criteria for future promotion. * For an Assistant Professor the gross monthly salary amounts to a minimum of €3,974 and a maximum of €6,181 based on a 38-hour working week, depending on previous education and number of years of relevant work experience (salary scale 11 or 12). * For an Associate Professor the gross monthly salary amounts to a minimum of €5,506 and a maximum of €7,362 based on a 38-hour working week, depending on previous education and number of years of relevant work experience (salary scale 13 or 14). * You will receive 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus. * You will be appointed for an initial period of 18 months. Upon a positive performance evaluation at the end of this period, the contract may be converted into a permanent one. * You will be able to use our Dual Career and Family Care Services.
