The research environment extends over several universities and a research institute.As a Postdoc in the project you will be involved in research and development of effective and efficient methods to test non-functional properties such as performance efficiency and robustness, in embedded systems using model-based and mutation-based approaches. The area of research can partly be adapted to the expertise of the applicant.
Collaboration between the partners in TOCSYC is close, which means that flexibility and willingness to collaborate are paramount. As a Postdoc in the project you will connect two work packages within the distributed research environment, at University of Skövde and Mälardalen University, and thus contribute to the coupling between these nodes in the area of model-based testing and mutation-based testing.
