This position is part of the EPSRC-funded Test FLARE project - Test FLakiness Automated Reproduction and Explanation.

You will be collaborating with research partners at Carnegie Mellon University and Allegheny College in the USA, and the University of Passau in Germany.

You should hold (or be closing to completing) a PhD in Software Engineering. You should have skills in machine learning and search-based software engineering, and a proven track record of publications. You should have experience of research software development and working alongside research and industrial collaborators.


This post is an opportunity to work an internationally-connected, world-leading research team in the internationally-leading Testing research group at the University of Sheffield, the largest of its type in the UK.

We're one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.

The University's Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.


We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect.

We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
