PhD and post-doc positions
Four-Year Doctoral Scholarship in Collaboration with TU Eindhoven
The Chair of Software Engineering at the Technical University of Munich at the Campus Heilbronn has the possibility to give a four-year scholarship to a doctoral researcher. The funding is from the TUM International Graduate School of Science and Engineering and part of a collaboration between TUM and the TU Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The project can start as soon as we have identified a doctoral researcher. The new researcher will be part of a project team consisting of four professors from TUM and TU Eindhoven, a post-doctoral researcher at TUM, and further doctoral researchers at both universities.
The topic of the doctoral research will be AI teaming with human software engineers. It reflects the current changes in how we engineer software by incorporating LLMs and agents into our software teams. These changes raise new questions and challenges, such as the acceptance and trust regarding the AI agents and their overall impact on productivity.
We expect a strong background in software engineering, ideally combined with competencies in artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. An outstanding master's degree in a suitable area is required. A background in psychology is beneficial but not required.
We offer an innovative and well-equipped work environment at one of the top universities in Europe. The Campus Heilbron in particular is on its way to becoming a European hub for AI.
If you are interested, please send your application documents (CV, master certificate with grades) to stefan.wagner@tum.de.
