[beasiswa] [info] 2 PhD Student Positions in Systems Security and Malware Detection at University of Trento, Italy

 

Dear All,      The Security Research group (http://securitylab.disi.unitn.it/) invites  applications for two PhD positions in Systems Security and Malware  Detection.      In recent years the group has carried on research in the area of malware  detection and vulnerability analysis. In particular, we are investigating  these issues in specific domains that are: mobile systems and critical  infrastructures. This thread of research has been recently consolidated by  a couple of joint initiatives that are two joint cyber security labs with  Poste Italiane and the National Research Council (CNR).      In this context, we are looking for two highly motivated phd applicants  with a strong background in operating system and networks, good  programming skills and natural interest in "hacking a systems".  Previous  experiences in CTF-alike competitions or reverse engineering challenges  are surely a plus. The main requirement for a successful PhD is however  the passion for research.      In particular, one candidate will focus his research mainly on new attack  vectors and  malware detection for cyber-physical and mobile systems. The  other one on new approaches for anomalous-based detection.      New PhD students will be part of the group as such they can benefit and  they will contribute to the research activities of the whole group.  Furthermore, they have the opportunity to supervise MSc students for  small, research-focused project.  They will have also the opportunity to  participate to summer schools and possibly to external internships.          THE SECURITY RESEARCH GROUP AT UNITN:      Research and Teaching in Security, Privacy and Cryptography have been  active at the University of Trento for many years. Our activities span  from classical IT security (mobile systems, cloud, networks, protocols,  access control, etc), to organizational security (Air Traffic Management,  critical infrastructures, etc.) and military security (mostly  cryptographic applications).  Our focus is applied security and most of  our funding comes through research grants and collaborative projects with  industry. Periodically, we keep seminars and public workshops open to  visitors from local research centers, companies, and other organizations.  Recently, we opened a joint cyber security lab with the National Research  Council and a Research Lab with Poste Italiane.      Our research topics cover two main important directions: technological  research where we develop particular security technologies such as malware  detection, access control and security policy enforcement, mobile platform  and app security and privacy; empirical research where we experiment how  technologies do actually work in practice such as which vulnerabilities  are actually exploited in the wild, how malware markets looks like.  Research topics typically span several years, or projects, and possibly  involve more students and activities. The language of the research group  is English.          THE DEPARTMENT:      The Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) is a  leading and fast-growing research institution, characterized by a young  and international faculty and by a large, international student  population.  Indicators for scientific production place the department  among the top in Europe. The department and the PhD school closely  collaborate with - and operate in - a fertile and rapidly growing research  and innovation environment characterized by top class research centers and  an increasing number of industrial research labs.          LIVING IN TRENTO:      The University guarantees accommodation in its Campus to all students for  at least one year. Trento is a vibrant city with a beautifully preserved  historic center, consistently ranked among the best cities for quality of  life in Italy.  It's a multicultural city where  many locals can speak  English. It offers a variety of cultural and sports opportunities all year  around, as well as excellent food. Trento is located very close to the  Alps so there are plenty of opportunities for skiing an trekking. More  information can be found here:  http://international.unitn.it/international/students-life          APPLICATION:      Applications must be filed online before June 16, 2014 (at 16:00, Italy  time) at the link below.          IMPORTANT:      The application procedure is not straightforward. It's important to have  the translations as required by the instructions. During the filling of  the application online, in the section "Disciplinary sector/s and research  area/s of interest" indicate "Security"      It is strongly advised to get in contact with Prof. Bruno Crispo  (crispo@disi.unitn.it) before submitting the application, by providing a  curriculum vitae including two references.
