What We Offer:

- Full funding (annual Stipend of €22,000 plus tuition)

- Opportunities to work with R@ISE partners and international collaborators

- Funding for equipment, conferences, and publications

📅 Deadline:

This is a rolling call and will remain open until all positions have been filled. We expect to recruit 10 – 12 PhD candidates in this call.

🎯 Apply today to be part of this exciting project!

Responsibilities

Your role will cover research, software system design and development as needed to build a new generation of design, development and analytics platform for the design and evaluation of low-code/no-code application development. The new platform needs to be robust and easily evolvable, so that it can include, over time, all the services needed for modern and future customization, evolution, analysis and refinement. It is an open-source, open-access platform, as we address among other goals also the ease of access and adoption, and the democratization of complex application development, lowering the barriers to access, adoption and proficiency. The platform will provide interfaces to the devices and facilitate the design of applications for the design and evaluation of the domain-specific applications in a low-code approach enhanced by rigorous analysis and verification methods.

Job Requirements/ Experience/ Skills

We are particularly seeking candidates who possess the following attributes/ skills:

  • A degree (level 8 NFQ – 1st class or MSc) in Computer Science or similar discipline, or proven ability in a relevant industry or research context
  • Ability to work as part of an interdisciplinary team
  • Self-motivated, output-driven candidates with good communication and presentation skills
  • Evidence of report writing skills
  • Knowledge and experience in three or more of the following areas:
  • Development in Java and other programming languages/paradigms
  • Familiarity and experience of Model Driven Design and Development concepts and tools
  • Familiarity with agile software development, agile project management, DevOps
    Ontologies, linked data or similar domain description techniques o Data science/analytics, information system design and development

Desirable Competences

The following attributes are desirable, but not required:

  • Experience with and understanding of cyberphysical systems; security, privacy and trust; microservice and cloud architectures
  • Experience of web development (Angular JS or equivalent)
  • Experience with machine learning tools (e.g., Scikit-learn, Tensorflow, PyTorch, etc.)
  • Track record of publications/and conference papers in software modelling or programming, or system level design and implementation, or software design for data analytics.
