Post-doc positions in Programming language-based security, Chalmers University of Technology

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. Half of our researchers and PhD students are native Swedes; the rest come from more than 30 different countries.

Job description

The post-docs 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.

The employment is for one year with possibility for extension with one year (two years in total is the typical duration). As a Chalmers employee the monthly salary will be set according to current salary agreements. The starting date is negotiable.

Required qualifications

Applicants for a Post-doc position should have a recent PhD degree in Computing Science. They must have a well-documented research track record. Expertise in either programming languages or security and interest to both areas is a prerequisite. You may even apply if you have not yet completed your PhD 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.

1.An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
2.Curriculum Vitae including list of publications
3.Two reference persons who can be contacted by Chalmers (describe association with them and give their contact addresses)
4.Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
The application shall be sent electronically. Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form.
