Overview
The department provides a strong, international, and dynamic research environment with about 75 faculty and 75 PhD students. For more information, see www.chalmers.se/cse/EN/ .
Knowledge of Swedish is not a prerequisite for application. English is our working language for research. Both Swedish and English are used in undergraduate courses. Half of our researchers and PhD students are native Swedes; the rest come from more than 30 different countries.
Job description
The PhD students will join a world-leading team of researchers on programming language-based security. Language-based security facilitates specifying and enforcing security policies at the level of programming languages early in the software design and construction phase. The focus of the advertised positions is on the following directions of work:
•To design rich security policies for confidentiality and integrity, as demanded by practical applications (such as web applications).
•To develop practical enforcement mechanisms for these policies in expressive programming languages (such as web languages). These enforcement mechanisms may combine static (for example, type system-based) and dynamic (for example, execution monitoring-based) techniques.
•To support the above with case studies in web-application security.
In pursuing these goals, there are possibilities for collaboration with our high-profile academic and industrial partners.
PhD student positions are limited to five years and will then normally include 20 per cent departmental work, mostly teaching duties. Salary for the position is as specified in Chalmers' general agreement for PhD student positions. The positions are intended to start in spring or fall 2011.
Required qualifications
Applicants for a PhD position must have a degree in Computing Science or in a related subject with a strong Computing Science component. They must also have a strong, documented interest in doing research. The ideal candidate for the project will have strong background in both programming languages and security. You may even apply if you have not yet completed your degree, but expect to do so before the position starts.
In addition to the submission items specified below you MUST include letters of recommendation: we typically get a large number of applications, and it is simply not feasible for us to request individual letters! Please, include the recommendation letters as a part of the application pdf file. No need for copies of degrees and certificates to be attested, if submitting the application electronically. Finally it is essential that the application includes all relevant work such as theses and articles that you have authored or co-authored.
Application procedure
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
1.An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
2.Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
3.Curriculum Vitae
4.Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)
The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents. Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form.
If any material is not available electronically or cannot be transferred to pdf format, the material can be sent as a hard copy to Registrar. The applicants name and the reference number (2010/292) must be written on the first page of the application.
