Job description:
Software-intensive autonomous and heterogeneous systems are becoming widely available as an open-ended collection of systems, collaborating to improve our lives. However, our world is dynamic, user behaviour changes and computer and communication infrastructures fail due to unforeseen events, including malicious attacks. Consequently, the need for our technical systems to automatically adapt to new situations, counter unforeseen events and deal with imprecise data is increasing considerably.
To achieve their full potential, these adaptive autonomous systems must be resilient, i.e., they must continue to provide the required functionality despite the uncertainty, change, faults, failure, adversity, and other (anticipated and unforeseen) disruptions present in their real-world operating environments. Numerous methods for developing resilient (adaptive) autonomous systems have been independently proposed or are being explored by different projects worldwide. However, despite recent advances in autonomous technologies, the research on resilient adaptive autonomous systems remains fragmented.
In a network of leading scientists, together with computer scientists and engineers, you will research procedures, tools and methods for the design of software-intensive resilient self-adaptive systems. Your results will enable the efficient construction of sustainable technical products. The approaches you research allow, for example, the implementation of modern visions of mobility.
As a senior researcher, you will also apply for and supervise third-party funded projects, take responsibility for the budget, organise international conferences and scientific and strategic workshops, have management and personnel responsibility, supervise doctoral students in your field of research and coordinate scientific collaboration with other research groups and laboratories at the KASTEL Institute.
This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
