At the Technical Faculty of IT and Design, Department of Computer Science, a number of PhD stipends are available within the Computer Science study programme. The stipends are open for appointment from March 15, 2023 or soon thereafter.

We seek PhD students that will contribute to new generations of scalable, model-based tools for cyber-physical systems based on a mathematical sound foundation, that enables trade-offs between functional safety and quantitative performance. It is the overall hypothesis of S4OS that a full integration of model checking and synthesis with machine learning will provide the key to innovative, highly scalable methods for learning, analysis, synthesis and optimization of cyber-physical systems.

Based on preferences, the candidates will work along one (or more) of the following different directions:
