Postdoctoral position in Systems and Hardware Security
100%, Zurich, fixed-term
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
