Indrykket for 11 dage siden
The Section for Software Engineering and Computing Systems, at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), invites applicants for a three-year postdoctoral position within the area of Artificial Intelligence applied to Software Effort Estimation (AI4SEE).
This position is funded by Aarhus University Research Foundation’s Recruiting grant (AUFF Grant). This grant aims to significantly expand our understanding of the SEE area by means of a solution coined as probabilistic meta-synthesis of evidence.
Expected start date and duration of employment
This is a three-year fixed-term position with employment start date is October 1st, 2024, or shortly afterwards.
The research to be addressed
Software Effort Estimation (SEE) is one of the core areas in Software Engineering; however, despite it being investigated for more than 50 years, there are several ongoing challenges that this research aims to address.
The AUFF grant aims to investigate SEE within the context of agile software development, employing machine learning techniques applied to industrial datasets, and in collaboration with industry.
The applicant will work in the Software Engineering Theme, which is one of several Themes part of the Software Engineering and Computing Systems Section at AU-ECE. This research complements another similar research also being investigated within the SE Theme. This means that the applicant will immediately engage in a wider collaboration within the Software Engineering Theme, and potentially across other Themes.
Your profile
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering or related field.
