************************************************************************
Are you an aspiring computer scientist with a fascination for 
declarative programming, the Internet of Things or topics that intersect 
with this? Then join the Software Science group at the Institute for 
Computing and Information Sciences as a PhD candidate!
************************************************************************

You will contribute to research on the various aspects of orchestrating 
IoT systems. Topics we study are embedded domain-specific languages, 
declarative programming styles such as functional programming and 
task-oriented programming, tierless programming, green computing, and 
system orchestration. Furthermore, we perform quantitative and 
qualitative empirical research on these techniques to answer questions 
regarding the usability, maintainability and evolve-ability of these 
novel methods.

The research in the department has led to several (open-source) tools 
that you will use as an object of study (among others). Examples of this 
are: Clean, a functional programming language, iTasks, a task-oriented 
programming framework for distributed web applications, and mTask, a 
task-oriented programming language for embedded devices.

As a PhD candidate, you will help further develop these systems and 
methods; a focus can be chosen depending on your own interest and 
background. Your teaching load will be up to 10% of your working time. 
You will be supervised by Dr Mart Lubbers. If you have any questions or 
would like to receive further details on this position, please feel free 
to contact us.

## Profile

- You hold a Master's degree or equivalent in Computer Science or a 
closely related field, or expect to obtain such a degree soon.
- You have experience with declarative programming languages.
- You preferably have experience with programming embedded 
domain-specific languages, embedded devices or tierless programming.
- You are able to work both independently and as part of a team.
- You are proficient in English.

If you are excited about this position but have not yet fully completed 
your Master's degree, please do not hesitate to apply or contact us.

## We are

As a PhD candidate, you will be affiliated with the Software Science 
group at the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS) at 
Radboud University. The Software Science group employs approximately 60 
members, comprising full, associate and assistant professors, 
postdoctoral researchers, and PhD candidates. The group has a long 
history in functional programming, task-oriented programming, (embedded) 
domain-specific languages, compiler technology, and distributed 
computing. You will pursue your PhD in a vibrant international research 
environment.
