[ecoop-info] Research Assistant Position at ETH Zurich

[Manuel Oriol]

The chair of software engineering of ETH Zurich (Prof. Bertrand  
Meyer) is recruiting assistants for several ongoing and new projects in

Reengineering
Dynamic software evolution

Assistants at ETH pursue a PhD and participate in teaching and other  
activities of the chair. We offer an excellent environment,  
outstanding resources and competitive salaries (currently about  
60,000 CHF/year for PhD students). All recent university rankings  
place ETH in the top tier of world research universities and at the  
very top in continental Europe. The Chair of Software Engineering  
currently includes two professors and a highly diverse team of about  
20 PhD students and postdocs covering several areas of software  
engineering research.

We are looking for highly qualified candidates; please do not answer  
unless you feel you have the appropriate profile.
In particular:

You must have a strong software engineering background, both the  
theoretical basis and software development experience.
You must know object technology thoroughly and either have good  
practice of Eiffel (the language and method that we use for most of  
our work) or be prepared to acquire it rapidly, building from other  
experience.
You must have some background in one or more of the areas cited above.
You must be familiar with the basics of our work, about which you can  
find details at http://se.ethz.ch (see in particular the Research  
links).
You must include a short (1/2 page to two pages) general description  
of what kinds of project you would like to tackle (taking into  
account our research goals as described on the cited Web site).
To be accepted by the ETH administration, PhD students must have a  
master's degree or equivalent from a reputed institution. Please note  
that there is very little flexibility regarding this requirement;  
candidates with a bachelor's degree are encouraged to look into our  
department's pre-doctoral program, which provides the opportunity of  
a fast-track research master's as a preparation for the doctoral  
program (see the pre-doc program page).

Qualified candidates should send by e-mail an application with the  
following two attachments (as attachements, not zipped, PDF or text  
preferred but Word acceptable):

CV, including detailed educational and work experience, grades, names  
of references, and any information relevant to the position.
Short "mission statement" as described above.
Any other information should be in the body of the email.
Applications should be sent as early as possible and before September  
10, 2007 for a first selection. The positions will remain open until  
filled.

We also expect one or two openings for postdocs or senior researchers  
in the areas listed above. Interested candidates with a strong  
research record and organizational abilities are welcome to apply  
using the same procedure as described above.

If you are interested and fulfill the above requirements please send  
an electronic application (PDF or plain text preferred for  
attachments) to this address.
