The Research Training Group "Cybercrime and Forensic Computing" aims to systematically analyze research questions arising from the interaction between computer science and criminal law. More information about the project can be found at https://cybercrime.fau.de.

The following aspects are particularly relevant to the PhD position in the area of Hardware Security:

• Computer Architecture
• Embedded Systems
• System-level Design Automation
• Side-channel Analysis

Applicants should have an excellent academic record, hold an MSc or an equivalent university degree in computer science or related disciplines, and have the goal to finish a PhD degree within three years.

For the particular position in hardware security, applicants should have an understanding of computer architectures (particularly RISC-V), hardware description languages, SoC design, and FPGA tools. Applicants should be team-oriented, open-minded, and communicative, with an interest in both theoretical and practical aspects of hardware security and embedded system design.

Closing date for applications:

Contact: Felix Freiling (felix.freiling@fau.de) for general questions and the application process, Jürgen Teich (juergen.teich@fau.de) and Stefan Wildermann (stefan.wildermann@fau.de) for questions about the position on hardware security.
