Research Associate in Security and Dependability of Information and Infrastructures University of Luxembourg, Department of Computer Science

The University of Luxembourg seeks to hire outstanding researchers at its Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT). SnT is a centre carrying out interdisciplinary research in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) systems and services, often in collaboration with industrial, governmental or international partners. SnT is active in several international research projects funded by the Horizon2020 programme and the European Space Agency. For further information you may check: www.securityandtrust.lu CritiX (Critical and Extreme Security and Dependability) is a recently formed research group, and a laboratory for state-of-the-art research in a problem area that may be described as extreme computing --- computer science and engineering pushed to extremes of functional and non-functional properties of systems. We advocate resilience as a paradigm shift enabling a comprehensive approach to extreme security and dependability challenges, from first principles.
