Postdoctoral position in Systems or Hardware Security 100%, Zurich, fixed-termprint Drucken 

The Computer Security Group is a research group in the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at ETH Zürich.

We are interested in a variety of hot topics in the area of systems and hardware security. The aim of the group is to improve the security of modern computer systems. To do that, we often build novel analysis techniques to uncover previously unknown attack surfaces and when appropriate we design and implement new systems to protect against various classes of attacks. This means that the group does heavy technical work, from building low-level systems to analyzing hardware components. Examples of our research topics include hardware design security, microarchitectural security, and operating system security to name a few.

Job description

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our group. You will collaborate closely with the PhD students while establishing a new line of research in the group. You are further expected to contribute to the teaching and supervision activities of the group. The position is ideal for someone who wants to strengthen their CV with additional projects and gain leadership experience in preparation for a top faculty or industry position.

We aim to increase the number of women in systems security. Eligible candidates are therefore encouraged to apply. 

Your profile

You need to have already obtained or be close to obtaining your PhD degree in computer science or electrical engineering from a reputable university. On top of systems and/or hardware security, we also consider applicants who have instead worked on computer systems or hardware design topics during the course of their PhD and are interested in switching to security.

You have:

  • A strong track record demonstrated by at least one publication in a tier-1 venue in their respective field of research.
  • A passion for learning new research topics as they come.
  • Strong writing skills.
