KTH is the biggest technical university in Sweden, it's got a very good CS programme and all the other engineering programmes have at least some programming on their curriculums. It's definitely not a dinky little liberal arts college, there's no lack of technical knowledge overall. :-)
However, this job ad was posted only outside their little division, because.. well.. uh.. academics are narrow-minded?
If they had bothered to post it about four buildings away from their department, it would have been seen by about a thousand CS students instead, which would have increased their chances of getting someone good with quite a lot.
