We cover all major areas where security is important, especially software security, hardware security, and network security. We love to work on low-level stuff, for example tinkering with operating systems and compilers, or finding out the nitty gritty of how hardware is implemented to determine whether it is vulnerable.



For this particular vacancy, we intend to fill a number of PhD and PostDoc positions relating to the following topics:



micro-architectural attacks and defenses (modelling, finding, analysing and mitigating)automatically and efficiently finding, exploiting and fixing software vulnerabilitiesverifying that such fixes are safe and effectivesystems security in generalthorough evaluation of security-related systems and research

VUSec is unique for its collaborative and friendly atmosphere, in which researchers have considerable freedom in picking their projects and who they want to do them with.
