The Department of Computer and Information Science is currently looking to appoint postdoctoral fellows in Computer and Information Science
Skilled and committed employees are a crucial factor in the success of Linköping University. And we need more of them. Our core expertise comes from teachers and researchers, but a successful university requires experienced and motivated employees in many fields. Everyone is important. We need to recruit many new employees thanks to, among all, an expansion in our research activity. We need you here. We look forward to receiving your application!
The Department of Computer and Information Science was founded in 1983 but its roots go back to the early 1970s. It is one of the largest computer science departments in northern Europe.
Our research covers a broad spectrum of fields, from core to applied computer sciences. Its vast scope also benefits our undergraduate and graduate programmes, and we now teach courses in several engineering programmes at bachelor’s and master’s levels, as well as the programmes in statistics, cognitive science and innovative programming.

Work assignments
As a postdoc at the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA), you will have the opportunity to pursue research in your field in a dynamic, supportive environment, surrounded by knowledgeable, enthusiastic colleagues. Our researchers have access to our state-of-the-art lab facilities and computing resources, as well as all of the advantages that come with working at a large, modern university in Sweden’s fifth-largest city. Our senior faculty conducts world-class research in a variety of fields, and we have a long tradition of mentoring our graduate students and postdocs, helping you to expand your horizons and develop your academic career.
We expect our postdocs to progress their publication record and further develop into independent researchers. We also want you to take active part in the scientific activities and discussion within the department, for instance by participating in and organizing reading groups and seminars, as well as contributing to PhD supervision and courses. We look forward to meeting you and hearing about what you can bring to our team.
As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours.
The workplace
IDA provides a dynamic, international, and collaborative environment with a strong focus on research, which spans the range from purely theoretical to applied. The latter is often conducted in cooperation with industrial partners and other organizations. The department consists of five divisions, covering most areas of computer and information science. The position will be placed at one of the divisions in the department, depending on your background and individual research interest. For further information about the department and its divisions, please see https://liu.se/en/organisation/liu/ida
Qualifications
To be qualified to take employment as postdoc, you must have been awarded a doctoral degree or have a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This degree must have been awarded at the latest by the point at which LiU makes its decision to employ you.
It is considered advantageous if your doctoral degree is no older than three years at application deadline for this job. If there are special reasons for having an older doctoral degree – such as taking statutory leave – then these may be taken into consideration.
We are seeking candidates who have demonstrated scientific skill through research and publication in computer and information science or related fields. A requirement for the position is that you have a clear research plan that is aligned with the above four research areas. You are expected to have excellent ability to collaborate with other researchers and partners.
The position requires very good knowledge of both spoken and written English.
