## We are

The position is available in the Software Science (SWS) group of the
Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS) at Radboud
University. 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
