New PhD Positions    (DEADLINE 1 March 2000! See "How to apply" below.)

Department of Computing Science,
Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborgs University,
Sweden

The Department has about 60 researchers, half being faculty members
and half PhD students. Our focus is on programming logic and type
theory, functional programming, formal methods, distributed and
concurrent systems, security, algorithms, and computational
linguistics, but research is not restricted to these topics.  For more
information, see www.cs.chalmers.se/Cs/Research.

PhD positions are for 5 years. There is no tuition fee. A PhD position
is a regular job with social benefits; the salary amounts to 16200 SEK
per month in the first year (the exact amount depends on teaching
duties, usually 20% of your time), which offers a higher standard of
living than for most PhD students elsewhere.

Knowledge of Swedish is not a prerequisite for application. English is
our working language for research. Both Swedish and English are used
in undergraduate courses.  Half of our researchers are native Swedes;
the rest come from more than 20 different countries.

Applicants must have an undergraduate degree in Computing Science or
in a related subject with a strong Computing Science component. You
may also apply if you expect to have such a degree by September 2000.
The School especially welcomes female applicants.

How to apply
------------

First, immediately register your intention to apply using the
electronic application form on the WWW at

[K. V. S. Prasad]

The School of Mathematical and Computing Sciences at the Chalmers
University of Technology and Göteborgs University announces new PhD
positions in several subjects including Computing Science.

The Department of Computing Science, part of the Schol, has about 30
staff members and about 25 PhD students.  The department receives
funding from Esprit, and from the Swedish Government agencies TFR and
NUTEK.  The major topics of research are programming logic and type
theory, functional programming, formal systems, cognition technology,
distributed systems, concurrency, and algorithms, but research is not
restricted to these.

PhD positions are limited to at most five years. Usually, a PhD
student will spend about 80 percent of his or her time on graduate
studies, and about 20 percent on teaching. Applicants must have an
undergraduate degree in Computing Science or in a related subject with
a strong Computing Science component. You may also apply if your
undergraduate degree is not complete but is expected to be finished by
September 1, 1999. The School aims to increase the number of female
employees, and especially welcomes female applicants. At the moment,
the salary amounts to 16200 SEK per month in the first year.

More information about the graduate programmes can be found on the WWW
on page:

  http://www.md.chalmers.se/Jobs/PhD/phd-en.thtml

which also has a pointer to an electronic application form. You are
encouraged to use this, as it will get your application immediately
registered with the School. However, you will have to send more
information to complete your application.

The full application consists of a letter in English, covering

  1 data about yourself;
  2 a copy of an official paper giving grades from your undergraduate
    degree(s); 
  3 a statement about your main interests;
  4 some letters of recommendation from people that know you as a student
    or as an employee;
  5 any scientific papers you have written.

Send your application to 

  Section for Mathematics and Computer Science
  Chalmers University of Technology
  412 96 Gothenburg
  Sweden

The last date for your application to arrive is 1 March 1999.
Incomplete or late applications risk rejection. We expect to tell you
the result of your application by 1 June 1999.

It will help if you also send whatever details can be sent by by e-mail to

  prasad@cs.chalmers.se
