Tenured and Tenure-Track Research Positions in Computer Science

The Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies in Software Development Technologies (IMDEA-Software) invites applications for tenure-track (Research Assistant Professor) and tenured (Research Associate Professor and Research Professor) faculty positions in the following areas: language and system support for multicore platforms, security, rigorous software engineering (including rigorous approaches to validation and testing), distributed, networked and embedded systems, programming language implementation (including compilers, program transformation, garbage collection, the interplay between computer architecture and programming languages, etc.) and service-oriented architectures.

The primary mission of the recently created IMDEA Software Institute is to perform research of excellence at the highest international level in the area of software development technologies and, in particular, science and technology which will allow the cost-effective development of software products with sophisticated functionality and high quality, i.e., which are safe, reliable, and efficient.

Selection Process

The main selection criteria will be the candidate's demonstrated ability and commitment to research, the match of interests with the institute's mission, and how the candidate complements the institute's established strengths in the general areas of programming languages, program analysis, and verification. All positions require an earned doctoral degree in Computer Science or a closely related area. Candidates for tenure-track positions will have shown exceptional promise in research and will have displayed an ability to work independently as well as collaboratively. Candidates for tenured positions must possess an outstanding research record, have recognized international stature, and demonstrated leadership abilities.

In the application form candidates must attach a copy of their CV, a research statement (at most 2 pages), and provide the names and email addresses of referees. Only electronic applications are considered. For best consideration, complete applications must be received by January 15, 2010 (and applicants should arrange for the reference letters to arrive by that date), although applications will continue to be accepted until the positions are filled.
