Postdoctoral position in Systems and Hardware Security 100% in Zürich

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 improving 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 analyzing and prototyping to analyzing low-level software and hardware for security. Examples of our research topics include hardware design security, microarchitectural security, and DRAM security to name a few.

Job description

• We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our group
• The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with the PhD students while establishing a new line of research in the group
• The candidate is 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 and minorities in systems security, eligible candidates are therefore encouraged to apply

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

The ideal candidate will have:

• A strong track record demonstrated by publications in top venues in systems security
• Strong writing and communication skills
• Experience and/or interest in supervision and education

We offer

• Your job with impact: Become part of ETH Zurich, which not only supports your professional development, but also actively contributes to positive change in society
• You can expect numerous benefits, such as public transport season tickets and car sharing, a wide range of sports offered by the ASVZ, childcare and attractive pension benefits
