If you are establishing your career as scientist and you are looking for the best possible foundation for fulfilling your dreams and ambitions, it is right here in front of you. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the Technical University Eindhoven (TU/e) are opening an exciting opportunity for a PhD position in the intersection of business process management, formal methods, and human-computer interaction (HCI). This project will explore how Knowledge Intensive Processes (for instance, those processes executed by physicians or lawyers) can be better modeled, simulated and verified.
Responsibilities and qualifications
Your overall focus will be to strengthen the department’s competences within computational modeling, and the design, analysis and implementation of visual languages to represent complex organizational processes from a human-centered perspective. You will work with nearby colleagues, and with both academic and industrial partners in Denmark as well as in the Netherlands. In your PhD you will study how modeling languages can support the understanding, simulation and verification of knowledge-intensive processes.
During your PhD you will likely cover activities such as:
- Building or extending modelling languages for Knowledge Intensive Processes
- Define methods for the verification of knowledge intensive processes and the conformance of existing systems against process models
- Build immersive environments for the modelling, simulation and verification of Knowledge Intensive Processes
- Create visual notations to adapt to context-specific environments (for instance, in hospital or legal departments)
- Test the understandability of these tools with potential users
This position presupposes a co-supervision with academic partners in TU/e Eindhoven, and it requires at least 6 months of stay at the Netherlands spread over the duration of your PhD.
The successful candidate will have previous experience in computer science, with a Master thesis or equivalent research experience in any of the following areas: a) Computer science modelling, simulation, or verification, b) Business Process Management or Process Mining, or c) Human-Computer Interaction or Game Development Technologies. Moreover, the candidate will benefit from basic knowledge in formal methods and programming languages, process mining or human computer interaction.
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education
.
Assessment
The assessment will be performed by members of the Software Systems Engineering (SSE) section. The chairman for this position is Hugo A. López (hulo@dtu.dk).
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 3 years.
Starting date is March 2024 (or according to mutual agreement). The position is a full-time position.
