Offer Description

We are looking for a research assistant for the IN3 project Software Engineering Methods and Tools for Systems Incorporating Generative Artificial Intelligence.

The aim of the project is to provide methods and tools to support the development of software systems incorporating GenAI capabilities. To this end, SE4GenAI will build on existing tools and the state of the art in GenAI development and propose new approaches.

Responsibilities

• Study generative artificial intelligence techniques and their application in software development or collaborative work contexts.
• Conceptualise methods and algorithms to improve software development, focused on the quality assurance of software systems and the reduction of software development, monitoring and maintenance effort.
• Develop prototypes, tools and services that implement the techniques proposed.
• Coordinate and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to integrate technological solutions in real contexts, as well as evaluating and monitoring their effectiveness and impact.
• Publish research results in journals and conferences of international prestige.

A temporary employment contract will be made until 31 December 2026 on a full-time basis, with an expected start in June.

The reference headquarters will be located at 22@, Rambla del Poblenou, 156, in Barcelona. However, at the UOC we work with an open work model that combines teleworking with face-to-face work, depending on organisational needs and the nature of the tasks.

What kind of profile are we looking for?

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer engineering or related qualification.
• Good level of English in oral and written communication (B2 level).
• Good interpersonal and teamwork skills.

We also value…

• Interest and motivation for research.
• PhD in computer engineering or related degrees.
• Professional experience in software development.
• Experience as a user of generative AI tools.
• Advanced knowledge of English (C1 or C2 level).
• Knowledge of the UOC's educational model, structure, systems and processes.
