Vacancy: Research Associate for social aspects of software engineering (f/m/d)
* Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this PhD position * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear colleagues, The DFG-funded project *INKleSS - Understanding the Importance of Non-Knowledge for Software Engineering on Social-Coding Platforms* is looking for a PhD candidate who is intrigued to study social aspects of software engineering. The project is based at the Harz University of Applied Sciences. *Deadline* for applications is *10.12.24*. More information below and in attachment. Please share the announcement widely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are looking for a PhD candidate who is intrigued to study social aspects of software engineering. The PhD position is part of the DFG-funded research project INKleSS - Understanding the Importance of Non-Knowledge for Software Engineering on Social-Coding Platforms. The project is based at the Faculties of Business Studies and Automation & Computer Science of the Harz University of Applied Science, Wernigerode. The project aims to gain new insights into the dynamics and processes of non-knowledge and knowledge in software engineering. A challenging aspect of software engineering is dealing with various forms of non-knowledge related to implementing, re-engineering, maintaining, updating, and enhancing increasingly complex pieces of software. Non-knowledge can appear as missing knowledge, intentionally hidden knowledge, tacit knowledge, or strategically used non-knowledge. The project aims to improve understanding of the roles that these forms of non-knowledge plays in social interactions within software development teams. This will enable the development of strategies for better managing non-knowledge in this context, and provide guidance for organizations and open-source communities in their non-knowledge management. The project comprises an engineering component and a social science component. The PhD candidate will focus on the phenomenon of non-knowledge in software engineering from a technical perspective, including contextualizing it within software development and implementing new analysis techniques. *The PhD candidate is expected to* * Develop a doctoral project in the thematic field of non-knowledge dynamics in software engineering practices, * Participate in and contribution to the research project, * Develop and program technical solutions, * Collect data in/related to software engineering projects (semi structured interviews, qualitative text analysis, data mining, natural language processing), * Complete a dissertation for a PhD degree (possible at the IWIT virtual faculty) within the time frame of the position, * Present research outputs at conferences *Your profile* * Master’s degree (or equivalent qualification) in Software Engineering/Computer Science, or relevant disciplines (sociology, psychology) with computer science background (particularly programming), * Documented experiences with and/or well described interest in the following fields: Programming, Software Engineering, Social-Coding Platforms (ideally GitHub), * Basic background in natural language processing or related AI topics may be helpful, * Fluency in English, * The ability to work autonomously and collaborate in teams. *We offer* * 3 years fixed-term position, full-time, classification up to EG 13 TV-L, * Ongoing supervision by Prof. Thomas Leich and Prof. Jacob Krüger (PIs) with continuous exchange with the project team: PhD candidate from social sciences and the respective PI Prof. Alena Bleicher, * Collaborative work in an interdisciplinary project team (software engineers, social scientists), * Remote work is possible, regular presence on site for joint research is recommended, * Opportunity to conduct research that is both, theoretically innovative and practically relevant, * Scientific engagement in national and international networks.
