Researchers (postdocs) in Computer Science/Informatics --
code 1109, journal no. FIM/20 (English version)
---------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Computer and Information Science (IDI)
at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
has up to four vacant positions as researchers (postdocs).
The department has currently 15 professors, 4 professor II (part time),
20 associate/assistant professors, 45 doctoral students, and
5 researchers/postdocs.
IDI educates 80 M.Eng. (siv.ing.) and 20 M.Sc. (cand.scient.) per year,
where both degrees require five year studies. It teaches about 75 courses
per year, many towards other students and some against industry.
IDI is the largest department of its kind in Norway, and is under
consolidation after an internal merge 1.1.97.
Student enrollment is planned to double in five years, thus there is
a need to build up the faculty fast.
The department includes 7 research groups for the M.Eng. study
(80 candidates per year): Algorithm construction, Data base technology,
Computer engineering, Graphics/image processing, Information systems,
Knowledge based systems, Software engineering, and
5 research groups for the M.Sc. study (20 candidates per year):
Computer-assisted learning, Information management, Artificial
intelligence, Human-computer interaction, System development.
IDI runs about 10 international R&D projects (mostly EU), and a similar
number of national ones.
Cooperates locally with the SINTEF R&D foundation in Trondheim.
The area for the postdoc positions are general Computer Science/Informatics,
with a special responsibility to further develop and renew
the department's competence within its field of operations.
Under otherwise equal conditions, we will prefer postdocs within the areas:
Software quality,
Cooperation technology,
Operations of data/information systems and of computer networks,
Software/hardware co-construction,
Multimedia / virtual reality, and
Distributed information systems.
A postdoc must have a doctoral degree in computer
science/informatics, and provide his/her own research plan.
The postdoc must have international experience from study or job.
It is desirable that the postdoc has a doctoral degree from
another institution than NTNU.
25% teaching duties is placed upon such a postdoc, i.e. one course
taught per year.
A postdoc position is limited to two, possibly three years.
Startup: 01.09.97 or later.
Women applicants are especially encouraged, and will be
preferred under otherwise equal conditions.
Hiring occurs on the same terms as for public servants.
The person must comply to decisions motivated by a changing
discipline, or to decisions caused by reorganization within the university.
The postdoc position has code 1109 and wage-level 46, i.e. a pay of
NOK 23 971.50 per month (12 months/year). Of this is obliged to pay
2% to the State Pension Fund ("Statens Pensjonskasse").
Ca. 30% taxes and social security fees must also be subtracted.
The application should be sent to:
Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU)
Faculty for Physics, Informatics and Mathematics,
N-7034 Trondheim, Norway (fax +47 73.593628),
marked journal number FIM/20 within 20.08.97.
The application must contain information about education,
exams, previous work experience, and other relevant information
(e.g. a research plan).
One copy of a CV, plus confirmed copies of diplomas and testimonials, must
be enclosed.
For more information about the postdoc positions, please contact the
department chair, professor Reidar Conradi, tlf. 73.593444 and
