CISPA − Helmholtz Center for Information Security
Job Posting Job Posting

Project Description: Modern computing devices involve a wealth of features like hardware caches and speculative execution that, while invisible to system-software executing on the platform, can affect their behavior in many aspects. Designing a system-software that can securely interact with the underlying hardware and fully exploit its capabilities is a challenging task within the computer security. This is the goal we set ourselves in this project. Our approach is to combine system-level solutions with rigorous analysis techniques to identify vulnerabilities and develop countermeasures and prototypes with provable security guarantees.

What we offer:

  • An internationally competitive contract, according to the remuneration group, 13 TV-L 100%.
  • A collaborative environment with the provision of required devices.
  • A family-friendly working environment for parents with kids.
  • Working at a reputable institute.
  • Qualifications: Applicants must hold or be about to receive a master's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent, exceptions can be made for outstanding Bachelor students). A strong background in computer science in general, and some previous exposure to formal methods and system software security is essential for these positions.
