The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute at The University of Southern Denmark
seeks to recruit several professors, associate, and assistant professors
with a strong background in Software Technology or Software Engineering for
the campus in Sønderborg. SDU's beautiful campus in Sønderborg is in the
inspiring building of Alsion, which is a center for science, culture and
learning in the heart of Sønderborg and perched on the strait of water
separating the island of Als from the mainland. The university has very
close relations to industries in Sønderborg, Southern Denmark and Northern
Germany.



The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute is an internationally recognized
institute, which has maintained a leading position in robotics for more
than three decades. The institute is the origin of robotics research in
Denmark and has spawned the world-renowned cluster of robotics in Odense.
The institute is now building up a Center for Industrial software research
and education at its campus in Sønderborg with a vision of creating world
class knowledge in valuable collaboration with industry providing a unique
opportunity to be part of the center and to form the new group. It is
expected that the center will grow substantially in the coming years and
collaborate closely with the already established Center for Industrial
Electronics and Center for Industrial Mechanics in Sønderborg as well as
with the industry, which count world leading companies in growing fields
such as e-mobility, automation, climate solutions and energy efficiency.
