The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Southern Denmark (campus Odense) invites applications for Tenure-Track Assistant Professor positions in Computer Science, with focus on the areas of Programming Languages and Concurrency. The starting date is flexible but ideally around autumn 2024 or early 2025.

Successful applicants would join the Section of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Programming Languages, an ambitious cluster of research groups that fosters collaboration, research excellence, and quality education. We offer ample opportunities for collaboration, personal growth, and mentoring for starting independent research groups. The section’s current research covers a wide range of areas and topics that include concurrent programming languages (choreographic programming, session types, etc.), distributed computing (cloud computing, microservices, etc.), Dev(Sec)Ops, formal methods (theorem proving, type systems, etc.), usable security, post-quantum and embedded cryptography, and quantum programming languages. We are looking for new colleagues who can strengthen or add to our competences, and we encourage interested candidates to explore the section’s website at for more information.

The section is part of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. We are an inclusive and international working environment with state-of-the-art facilities and strong traditions for collaboration across research groups, departments and faculties, and with other organisations like educational institutions, municipalities, and companies. The degrees offered by the department include BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in computer science, a BSc degree in artificial intelligence, and an MSc degree in data science. see more information about the department; Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.

Who we are looking for
An ideal candidate:
• holds a PhD degree in computer science or equivalent;
• has a research track record at a high international level, reflecting the academic age of the applicant;
• can teach and advise in computer science at all levels.

Fluency in English is required. Knowledge of Danish is not a requirement: more English than Danish is used when teaching in computer science, and more than half of the faculty members in computer science have international backgrounds. Successful applicants will be offered Danish courses by the university.

Applications from promising early-career talents are highly encouraged. The Danish tenure-track employment is a focused assistant professorship with a guaranteed assessment for a position as tenured associate professor: before the end of the sixth year of employment and contingent on a positive academic assessment, the assistant professor will transit into a permanent (tenured) position as associate professor. A tenure-track assistant professor can request assessment for tenure earlier. If this assessment is negative, the assistant professor can request a second assessment within the final six months of employment.

The starting date is flexible but ideally around autumn 2024 or early 2025.
Application deadline: 30 April 2024 at 23.59 hours local Danish time.
