The Centre for Research and Innovation in Software Engineering (RISE) is
proud to invite applications for three full-time postdoctoral fellowships
tenable now. RISE was founded in December 2016 with a mission to advance
research in theories and methods of software engineering and innovation
of their applications in the development of software systems in emerging
networked human, cyber and physical systems (CPS). The theme of research and
innovation is the combination of traditional structured models and methods
of software engineering with those of learning based techniques to support
the modelling, design, verification, synthesis and evolution of these systems.
The School of Computer and Information Science and RISE at Southwest
University pursue academic excellence and are committed to strengthening the
research through the development of a hierarchical research team with researchers
of different levels and research students. For this, recruiting a critical
mass of postdoctoral research fellows is an essential part of the strategic plan.

Research areas include but not limited to
• Formal methods in software system development- modelling, design and
verification (including tool development);
• Formal models and verification of robotic systems;
• Model-driven design, synthesise and evolution of cyber-physical systems
(CPS), service-based systems (especially microservices architecture);
• Security of distributed network systems and blockchains technology
• Interdisciplinary applications in areas of, for examples, IoT, smart
cities, medical and health care, smart manufacture, etc.
Requirements
