Services Contract
Applications are requested for a temporary lectureship in the Software Engineering Programme at the University of Oxford. The position is for the purposes of teaching a one-week professional course in Software Product Lines, in the week of 12th to 16th July 2010, on the part-time professional MSc in Software Engineering.
The successful applicant will be expected to provide pre-study material, six weeks in advance of the course; provide the course material, including appropriate exercises and solutions, three weeks in advance; lecture, teach, and demonstrate throughout the teaching week (0900 to 1700 Monday to Thursday, 0900 to 1230 Friday) and to supervise the activities of a teaching assistant.
You will be a recognised expert in the area of Software Product Lines, with the authority to present a compelling course covering the whole syllabus (see http://www.softeng.ox.ac.uk/subjects/SPL.html): principles of product line engineering; feature-oriented domain analysis; generic, aspect-oriented, and feature-oriented programming; product line validation, testing, and management; model-driven development; industrial application.
