The Barkhausen Institut performs research on the latest hardware, software and communication technologies and demonstrates their application in tomorrow’s society. Our goal is to build a flexible and trustworthy IoT platform based on reliable electronics and secure communication methods.
The Composable Operating Systems group at Barkhausen Institut is developing Ohua, a compiler for breaking apart sequential imperative code into pieces for safety, security and efficiency. We especially focus on the verification of the compiler’s correctness, i.e., the compiled result has the same semantics as the sequential imperative input code.
At the earliest possible date, we are looking for a
Research Associate (PhD or Postdoc) “Programming Language/Compiler Technology” (m/f/d)
The position will initially be filled for a period of 2 years and will be remunerated in accordance with the public remuneration level TV-L E-13.

- Design and implementation within Ohua compiler codebase
- Adaptation of Ohua for separating code into microkernel-system components
- Development of use cases and IoT demonstrators
- Participation in writing research publications and project deliverables
- Engagement in Science Communication: In cooperation with our OpenLab team, you will participate in activities that aim to explain research results in dialog with society.
We expect the following
- Above-average MSc/Diploma and PhD degree in areas related to our research focus (Computer Science) from renowned universities.
- Knowledge in the following domains:
- Good programming skills in Haskell (OCaml) or Coq (Agda, Lean, Isabelle/HOL)
- Good knowledge of programming language design (type systems, operational semantics)
- Knowledge of compiler technology
- Knowledge of operating system principles and microkernels
- An integrative and cooperative personality with excellent communication and social skills.
- Good communication and writing skills in English.
You are interested, but you don’t think you meet all the requirements of the job posting? Then you should know: We don’t hire resumes, we hire people. We are looking for potential and want to actively foster it. That‘s why we encourage you to apply!
