<br>The CSE Department provides a strong, international, and dynamic research environment with about 70 faculty and 70 PhD students from about 30 countries. The PhD positions are located jointly in two research groups: Language Technology and Formal Methods. The PhD supervisors will be professors from these groups: Aarne Ranta (REMU principal scientist), Koen Claessen, and Gerardo Schneider.</p>

Its objective is to develop methods for high-quality machinetranslation, formal verification, reasoning, and information retrieval of missioncritical documents such as contracts and legal texts. Building on formalized interlingual representations (abstract syntax), the REMU project will targetapplications in several parallel languages. The research problems range from fundamental language-theoretic questions (e.g. ambiguity detection) to practicalsystem building (e.g. an editor by which end users can build multilingual webpages). In the mid ground, the project has topics in grammar engineering, theorem proving, software testing methodology, and logical modelling. The PhD student positions are open for students with a Masters degree in computer science, computational linguistics, or a related field. Their PhD topics will be selected on an individual basis from the task defined in REMU's research plan. <br>
<br>The positions are for five years, with a start between 1 June and 31 December 2013, as agreed with the selected holders of the positions. The PhD students will work 20% of their time in teaching and other departmental duties. PhD students get a regular full-time salary, sufficient for a small family to live in Gothenburg.</p>
