Apologies for duplicates Dear all,
KTH is hiring one PostDoc on System Security and Formal Methods Application deadline: 19.Jun.2019, https://kth.mynetworkglobal.com/en/what:job/jobID:271049/ Starting date: By agreement (preferably September 2019) The position is supported by TrustFull, trustfull.proj.kth.se, a new project on fullstack security funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research SSF. TrustFull combines novel uses of software diversity and automated software repair with formal techniques at low level to develop new techniques for end-to-end security across the entire application stack from hardware to user level applications . Within TrustFull we implement, model, and formally verify secure system components and build models and verification tools, mainly using semiautomated theorem proving in Higher Order Logic, HOL. The research group led by professor Mads Dam and assistant professor Roberto Guanciale combines deep interest in logic, mathematics, abstract modelling and formal proofs with a strong will to apply these methods to the design, development, testing, and verification of concrete system solutions. The project involves a wide variety of challenging tasks, including theory and methods, tool development, modeling and verification of critical hardware components (cpu’s, gpu’s and devices of different types), system software development and verification, prototype implementation, and software synthesis. As part of TrustFull, there will be strong interactions with other researchers at the intersection of software engineering and software security. The postdoc will also have ample opportunity to contribute to student supervision at both PhD and MSc levels, and to assist in project development and grant applications. The position is a full-time research position for one year with a possible one-year extension. The starting date is open for discussion, though ideally we would like the successful candidate to start as soon as possible. Qualifications: Applicants must hold or be about to receive a doctoral degree in Computer Science (or equivalent). The doctoral degree must have been obtained within the last three years from the application deadline (some exceptions for special grounds, for instance sick leave and parental leave). The candidate should have a strong background from at least one of the areas of formal verification and system security. About KTH: KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world. -- Roberto Guanciale KTH.se _______________________________________________ hol-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hol-info
