Visa Europe and UCL are offering a PhD in Search Based Optimisation of Software Testing
University College London is offering a fully funded student bursary in Search Based Optimisation of Software Testing to start as soon as possible. The student will undertake a UCL PhD, the focus of which will be having a direct impact on improving Visa software systems. It will be a chance for the student to work collaboratively in both academic and industrial sites, developing innovative techniques and evaluating them on real-world systems at Visa.
This impact studentship will recruit a talented and dedicated PhD student to work closely with Visa (at their Paddington site) under the supervision of Mark Harman and Earl Barr (at UCL), on the development and evaluation of advanced test optimisation techniques. Dr. Federica Sarro will also join the supervisor team, providing expertise on full prediction and predictive modelling. You will also have an industrial supervisor, Paul Baker, of Visa Europe.
The primary research question is:
?how can we best develop optimisation processes and techniques to develop effective and efficient testing of web-based systems??
The studentship is funded 50% by UCL and 50% by Visa, demonstrating the commitment of each partner to this project. The student will also be part of the large program grant dynamic adaptive automated software engineering (DAASE), A significant investment by the engineering and physical sciences research Council of the United Kingdom in the area of search based software engineering. More details on the project are available at http://daase.cs.ucl.ac.uk/. The student to whom this studentship bursary is awarded will be situated in the CREST centre, which is part of the Software Systems, Engineering group (SSE) within the Department of Computer Science at UCL. http://crest.cs.ucl.ac.uk/about/
Applications close 5th January 2015
Interviews will take place in the week of the 2nd ? 5th of February 2015

PhD Studentships - Theoretical Analysis of Evolutionary Processes

Applications are invited for PhD studentships funded by the School of Computer Science, University of Nottingham. Studentships are available from October 2015 for a period of three years and include a stipend of ?13,863 per year and tuition fees, and are available to students of any nationality. Applicants are expected to have a first-class Masters or Bachelors degree in Computer Science or related discipline, and must obtain support from a potential supervisor. I am happy support strong applicants interested in the following topic.

Evolutionary algorithms and other randomised search heuristics have been successfully applied to various industrial optimisation domains. However, the theoretical understanding of these methods has been limited. Recently, there has been significant progress in analysing the runtime (also called optimisation time) of randomised search heuristics using rigorous techniques from probability theory, randomised algorithms, and computational complexity. Results about the runtime give insights into how the behaviour of a randomised search heuristic depends on its parameter-settings and on the characteristics of the underlying optimisation problem.

The successful candidate(s) will contribute to this exciting research area, which lies at the interface between probability theory and theoretical computer science. The aim is to develop theory that aids in predicting and controlling the behaviour of evolutionary processes, both natural processes as well as in evolutionary algorithms.

The topic is mathematically challenging and requires an excellent degree in mathematics or computer science. In particular, the candidate should have a strong background in probability theory, discrete mathematics, and/or theoretical computer science.

The research will be carried out in the context of the EU-funded project Speed of Adaptation in Population Genetics and Evolutionary Computation (SAGE) which brings together researchers from population genetics and evolutionary computation. The studentship is locally associated with the Automated Scheduling, OptimisAtion and Planning (ASAP) research group, one of the five main Research Groups within the School of Computer Science at Nottingham.
