Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) seeks outstanding candidates to apply for a Tenure tracker in ... Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) - Amsterdam — AcademicTransfer

The CWI software
engineering research activity has a high reputation and visibility in
the international research community, and is well connected to local and
European industry. Our mission is to fundamentally understand software
and software engineering better; to simplify software and software

engineering in order to predict software quality aspects such as
maintainability, safety, energy consumption and information security
which have a high societal impact.

Software Analytics is the
study of all data related to software and its engineering processes,
including code, in order to learn to understand software and software
engineering and be able to predict and manipulate important quality
factors of software artifacts.

The successful candidate is
expected to grow a highly visible and successful research program in
Software Analytics at CWI. The work will relate closely to the current
research areas of forward and everse software engineering (language
engineering, formal methods, and source code analysis).

The Software Analytics position both extends and completes our current research efforts:

to
include the study of different artifacts next to algorithms, languages
and source code, namely requirement specifications, bug reports, test
cases, execution traces, revision histories, etc;
to emphasize a highly effective combination of experimental and formal research methods, including data analysis and mining;
to independently study (in)validation of proposed theory and technology in forward and reverse software engineering.

It
is expected the candidate will both initiate and maintain industrial
partnerships and acquire research funding via European and national
funding agencies. The candidate will also be responsible for the
recruitment, selection and supervision of post-doctoral researchers and
PhD students. Finally, the candidate will occasionally teach
master-level software engineering (guest) courses at selected
universities in The Netherlands and abroad.

Requirements

We seek
candidates holding a doctoral degree in computer science and having an
outstanding record in software engineering research, exemplified by peer
reviewed publications in the leading conferences and journals of the
field. Next to this, candidates can show evidence of experience with
large scale software engineering projects, preferably on different
managerial levels (programmer, program manager, stakeholder).

CWI expects its tenure track researchers to speak Dutch at the end of the tenure track.

Conditions of employment

The
position is for three or five years depending on knowledge and
experience. At the end of a successful tenure track term a permanent
scientific staff position will be offered. Criteria for evaluation
comprise a track record of publications that is well above average, and
the ability to acquire funding and to build up an (inter)national
network and reputation.

The terms of employment are in accordance
with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres
("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen"). Depending on relevant work experience,
the gross monthly starting salary for an employee on a full time basis
ranges from € 3,228 to € 4,439. Employees are also entitled to a holiday
allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of
8,33%.

CWI offers attractive working conditions, including flexible scheduling and help with housing for expat employees.

Introduction of the ‘European Blue Card’

As from 19 June 2011 the Netherlands has a new purpose of stay: the European Blue Card. The European Blue Card is a separate purpose of stay in addition to the existing National Highly Skilled Migrant Programme. The EU Blue Card Council Directive is intended for highly skilled foreign nationals who do not have EU, EEA or Swiss nationality, and who wish to work in one of the member states of the EU. The Directive is also meant to make it easier to settle in another EU member state. A residence permit will always be required in that other member state, however. To obtain this residence permit the employee must comply with the conditions applicable in that member state.

The conditions for residence in the Netherlands as an EU Blue Card holder are stricter than those for residence as a Highly Skilled Migrant. The employee must have a contract for highly qualified employment for at least one year, earning at least EUR 60,000 gross (in 2011). The employee must have completed a course of higher education lasting at least three years. The employee must prove this by having his diploma assessed by Nuffic. For a regulated profession, a competent authority will take decisions about the admission to that profession.

Advantages
One of the advantages of the EU Blue Card is that it is easier for an EU Blue Card holder and his family members to settle in another EU member state at a later date. After eighteen months foreign nationals who have an EU Blue Card are exempted from the provisional residence permit (MVV) requirement, if they want to work in another EU member State. In this second member state the employee must submit an application for a residence permit as a holder of an EU Blue Card. Each member state may implement the directive in slightly different ways. If someone holds a Blue Card in the Netherlands, this does not mean that the requirements are also met in other member states.

Another advantage is that after having stayed lawfully with the EU Blue Card holder in the Netherlands for two years, the family members may apply for a residence permit for ‘continued residence’. For other purposes of stay this is only possible after having stayed lawfully in the Netherlands for three years. The family members must have resided legally and continuously within the territory of an EU member state for at least five years, however. An employee who has stayed legally in the Netherlands as an EU Blue Card holder for two years may apply for the status of ‘long-term resident as a non-EU member country national’. He must have resided legally and continuously within EU territory for five years and must comply with the other conditions for this purpose of stay.

Highly skilled migrants from outside of the EU

A highly skilled migrant is a migrant who comes to the Netherlands to be employed, and has a gross annual income of at least €47,565, or €34,881 if he/she is under thirty. This income requirement does not apply if the employee enters service for certain functions in an educational or research institution. For information on the specific functions to which this clause applies, you can inquire at the IND office for labour and highly skilled migrants. When a foreign national has been granted residence in the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant, the employer of the highly skilled migrant is not required to be in possession of a work permit for that foreign national.

Professional soccer players, ministers of religion, teachers of religion and prostitutes are not eligible for a residency as highly skilled migrant.
