Computer and Information Science
Postdoctoral Research
and
Sabbatical Leave
in
Sweden
The Department of Computer and Information Science at Linkopings University in
Sweden announces the availability of postdoctoral research and sabbatical
leave positions. The department provides a wide range of research and
educational activities as indicated in the areas of faculty specialization.
The university is located in the town of Linkoping, approximately 200
kilometers south of Stockholm. Linkoping has a population of 120000 and is in
the heart of the rapidly expanding Ostergotland high technology industrial
area. Linkopings University employes approximately 1600 people and has
faculties of engineering, science, liberal arts, medicine and education. The
department of Computer and Information Science has approximately 80 employees
(faculty, staff and graduate students) of whom 15 have attained the doctoral
degree.
Applicants for post doctoral research positions should have completed or will
shortly complete their doctoral degrees at a recognized institution.
Applicants for sabbatical leave appointments must have a well established
record of accomplishments in the computer science and/or engineering fields.
The appointments are for a minimum of one year and a maximum of two years.
Non-Swedish citizens and residents coming from countries having double
taxation agreements with Sweden, for example, the United States, Canada, and
Great Britain, will NOT be taxed in Sweden.

Associated Faculty Members
Jan-Olaf Bruer (Dept of Electrical Engineering), office automation systems,
especially security issues.
Ingemar Ingemarsson (Professor of Information Theory), information theory,
security and data encryption, error correction codes and data
compression.
Ove Wigertz (Professor of Medical Informatics), medical information systems,
expert systems.
During the next academic year (85/86) additional Ph.D. faculty will be joining
the department in the areas of computational complexity, computational
linguistics, software engineering and computer systems.
Department and University Computing Resources
The department has as research computers a DEC 2060, a DEC VAX11/780, several
SUNs, six Xerox 1108 InterLisp machines, and numerous smaller machines such as
PDP-11s and micro-VAXs. Department plans include significant near-term
expansion of research computing.
Undergraduate computing systems include two DEC 2065s, a DEC 2020, a DEC PDP
11/70 and PDP 11/73 running Unix, a large number of Apple Macintoshes and a
variety of small machines such as PDP 11s used for operating system labs. As
is the case with research computing, major expansions of undergraduate
computing capacity are planned in the near future. Since the total number of
undergraduates enrolled in computer related lines of study is less than at
some large U.S. universities, each student gets significant computer time.
Linkoping is part of the UUCP and SUNET networks. The campus is wired with
Ethernet and all major machines are connected via TCP/IP, DECNET or XNS
protocols.
Further Information
Applicants are encouraged to directly contact our faculty members based upon
the applicant's areas of research. In applying for positions, the applicants
are requested to submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications, reprints of
recent publications and suggested research activities during the appointment.
