About the position

We have a vacancy for a PhD candidate in the area of diversity in computer science at the Department of Computer Science.

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

While software is omnipresent and influences individuals, companies and governments, it does not provide evenhanded participation conditions for everyone. Software tools, processes, products, and education are not inclusive. Since information technology has a direct impact on peoples lives, work, and leisure, a lack of diversity among developers might unintentionally constrain people rather than support them in achieving their desired goals. We need a diverse and inclusive software development workforce, and to achieve this goal, we need tools, processes, and education that enable everybody to have access to successful careers.

The goal of this project is to go beyond raising awareness of lack of diversity and to design interventions aiming at addressing some of the challenges related to lack of equity, diversity and inclusion in computer science.

The position is connected to the work initiated by theIDUNandEUGAINprojects. Following the success of the two initiatives, the department of Computer Science aims at continuing improving diversity and balance in the field.

The main supervisor will be Letizia Jaccheri.

The position is open for everybody but we look especially for women and individuals whose gender identity is not based on a traditional gender binary.

The research project will focus on advancing the state of research and tools supporting increase of diversity in computer science.

The Computer science department at NTNU works on these computer science areas: artificial intelligence (AI), big data, computer architecture, computer graphics, computer security, databases, human computer interaction (HCI), information systems, operating systems, software engineering, and search.

You will report to the Head of Department.
