Do you want to conduct top-notch research and bridge the gap between theory and application regarding software analysis? As a PhD Candidate, you will focus on developing faster and more scalable techniques for the formal analysis of safety-critical systems. Join a diverse environment where you can focus on how research contributes to solving real-world problems and willingness to learn is valued.
Your main responsibilities as a PhD candidate will be to conduct cutting-edge research. We expect that this research leads to the development of faster and more scalable techniques for the formal analysis of safety-critical systems that operate based on limited information about their environment.
In particular, we aim to develop novel algorithms for the analysis of (extensions of) Markov Decision Processes and Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes, motivated by a series of applications in the dependability and security domains. The project allows to freely explore connections between runtime verification, model checking, automata learning, planning and reinforcement learning, depending of the joint interests of you and the principal investigator.
Fixed-term contract: 4 or 5 years.
The position is available in the Software Science group of the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS) at Radboud University. Our mission is to do top research on the use of models for design and analysis of software, bridging the gap between theory and applications. We offer joining a fun and diverse group that maintains a range of international cooperations. In 2021, we published our research in top conferences such as CAV, TACAS, (formal methods) AAAI (artificial intelligence) and RSS (robotics). Furthermore, our group actively contributes to the development of the state-of-the-art probabilistic model checker Storm.
The Faculty of Science is a complete science faculty where research and education are closely related. The faculty aims to be an academic community with an international character, where staff members from different backgrounds combine their talents with the common goal of being a leading faculty of science in Europe. Radboud University is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and as such encourages applications from women and minorities. The university offers customised facilities to better align work and private life. Parents are entitled to partly paid parental leave and RU employees enjoy flexibility in the way they structure their work. The university highly values the career development of its staff, which is facilitated by a variety of programmes.
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!
