The appointment will be on UCL Grade 7.

Applications are invited for a Research Associate post on an EPSRC-funded grant, DAASE, in the CREST center at UCL, working in the general area of Software Engineering, supervised by Professor Mark Harman and Dr. Yue Jia.

We are interested in recruiting the best talent we can find to assist with the overall agenda of dynamic adaptive search based software engineering. We are particularly interested in candidates who are able to apply computational search to problems in dynamic adaptive software engineering, underpinned by rigorous experimentation, and empirical evaluation. The project itself, is a programme grant, which has a very wide remit, and therefore we can consider applicants with a wide variety of backgrounds, expertise, and intentions for this project. Our overriding essential requirement is recent publication in the first tier software engineering venues.

Funding for this appointment runs until 31 May 2018. Further funding to support the post may be available.

Candidates should have recently graduated with a PhD in a relevant subject such as software engineering, computational search, machine learning, programming languages or program analysis. Publication in first-tier software engineering venues is essential. An aptitude for research in adaptive search based software engineering is also essential.
