Job Overview

Assistant Professor (Tenure-track) Positions in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Programming Languages

Automation In The Cybersecurity World

The Section of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Programming Languages at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Southern Denmark (campus Odense) invites applications for tenure-track assistant professor positions in Computer Science. The starting date is flexible but ideally around autumn 2022. Application deadline: 15 February 2022.

The section’s current research covers a wide range of areas and topics that include distributed computing (cloud computing, edge computing, IoT, microservices, etc.), Dev(Sec)Ops, information security, formal methods for security and reliability (theorem proving, type systems, etc.), post-quantum and embedded cryptography, logic and knowledge representation, and concurrent languages (choreographic languages, session types, etc.).

We are looking for new colleagues who can strengthen or add to our competences in these or other directions, within the scope of the section, and we encourage interested candidates to explore the section’s website for more information.

The section is part of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. We are an inclusive and international working environment with state-of-the-art facilities and strong traditions for collaboration across sections, departments and faculties, and with other educational institutions, municipalities, and industries. The degrees offered by the department include, among others, BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in Computer Science as well as an MSc degree in Data Science. 

Who we are looking forAn ideal candidate:
holds a PhD degree in Computer Science or equivalent
• has a research track record at a high international level
• can teach and advise in Computer Science at all levels.

Fluency in English is required. Knowledge of Danish is not a requirement: more English than Danish is used when teaching in Computer Science, and more than half of the academic members of staff in Computer Science have international backgrounds. Successful applicants will be offered Danish courses by the university.

Applications from promising early-career talents are highly encouraged. The Danish tenure-track employment is a focused assistant professorship with a guaranteed assessment for a position as tenured associate professor: before the end of the sixth year of employment and contingent on a positive academic assessment, the assistant professor will transit into a permanent (tenured) position as associate professor. A tenure-track assistant professor can request assessment for tenure earlier. If this assessment is negative, the assistant professor can request a second assessment within the final six months of employment. More information about the process can be found in the tenure track procedure at the University of Southern Denmark.
