[Marlon Dumas]

Applications are invited for a permanent position of Postdoctoral 
Research Fellow at the Software Engineering Research Group, Institute of 
Computer Science, University of Tartu.

The successful candidate will carry a leading role in the development of 
novel data-driven decision support methods and prototypical tools to 
support a range of software engineering activities related to software 
product and quality management.

The position will be linked to a group of four PhD students working on 
the following topics:

* Analysis of online user feedback on software products to enhance 
software testing processes
* Development of a data-driven recommender system for risk-based GUI 
test automation
* Topic and opinion mining for requirements elicitation and 
prioritization in the context of open innovation
* Application of software analytics to produce greener software products

Depending on his/her interests, the candidate will be given the

Applicants must have a PhD in Computer Science / Software Engineering or 
a related discipline, or be close to completing a PhD. The following 
profile is expected:

* Documented research expertise in at least two of the following areas: 
software test automation, software requirements engineering, data 
analytics in software engineering, and the application of machine 
learning techniques to software engineering decision problems.
* At least one accepted publication in one of the following top-ranked 
software engineering journals is mandatory: IEEE Transactions on 
Software Engineering, ACM Transactions on Software Engineering 
Methodology, Information and Software Technology, Journal of Systems and 
Software, or Empirical Software Engineering.
