There are at least two positions that are currently open for postdoctoral researchers interested in conducting research in these areas. Specifically, we are looking for self-motivated candidates with a Ph.D. in Computer Science or Computer Engineering with a strong research background in or related to one or more of the following areas:
- Lightweight and Reliable Hardware-based Primitives for Authentication and Cryptography
(PUFs, TRNGs, Quantum PUFs, etc.)
- Resilient Circuit Designs against invasive and Supply Chain Attacks
-Embedded Systems Security (Microprocessors, Microcontrollers, Memory Devices, etc.)
- Novel Approaches Against Invasive and Non-Invasive Hardware Attacks: Anti-tampering,
Anti-cloning and design overbuilding, Anti-counterfeits, IP/IC Piracy, Anti
reverse Engineering, etc.
- Secure and Trusted COTS and System-on-Chip Components
- Robust Built-in Self Testing and Verification
- ML/AI-assisted Mechanisms for Hardware Security and Trust
- AI/ML-assisted Hardware Security
- Hardware Trojan Detection and Prevention
- Hardware-assisted Post-quantum Cryptography
- Novel Zero Trust Architectures for Assured Microcontrollers
- Novel Approaches to Countermeasure against Malicious Hardware Modification: Fault
injections, and Side Channel and Power Analysis Attacks, etc.
Required Qualifications::
- Postdoctoral researchers should have a Ph.D. in STEM by the start date.
- The candidates should demonstrate readiness to write examples and test cases in assembly and HDL languages.
- The candidate should be familiar with digital design, computer architecture, SoC, VHDL, Verilog, and other CAD tools for security and assurance and formal verification for hardware vulnerability analysis/testing.
- Postdoctoral researchers should demonstrate proficiency in creating high-level language programs, i.e., Python for ML algorithms.
- Postdoctoral researchers should show a thorough understanding of digital design and computer architecture concepts and tradeoffs.
- The candidates should exhibit a solid background in computer security concepts, trends, and recent developments.
- The candidates should prove proficiency in understanding, designing, and implementing complex combinational and sequential logic for digital circuits.
Preferred Qualifications::
- Good communication skills, exhibit the ability to perform multiple tasks, and work cooperatively in a team environment.
- Have documented the ability or potential to contribute to hardware security and assurance CAD tools, as evidenced by a history of publications or contributions on specific projects, products, tools, and websites.
- Have documented the ability or potential to contribute to academic scholarship, evidenced by a history of scientific publications, grant submissions, and conference presentations.
- Ability to help mentor graduate/undergraduate students and write and submit research papers in high-impact conferences and journals (IEEE, ACM, Elsevier, Springer, IEEE HoST, IEEE/ACM DAC, IEEE ISACS, etc.)
- Have good hands-on experience in hardware security design with FPGA/ASICs, microprocessors/microcontrollers, and memory devices.
- Ability to help extend some existing research for budling novel secure hardware and make it ready for, available to, and usable by other interested parties. For example, CSE faculty members have designed and simulated a novel 36-bit CPU using synchronous static random-access memory (SRAM) technology and trivial glue logic integrated circuits as components.
- Postdoctoral researchers may extend this research and address concerns about any possibility of backdoors or maliciously introduced, exploitable defects in computers that may be built using SRAM technology.
Essential Functions and percent of time::
70% of the time will be spent developing and testing new security and trust solutions/designs, lab experiments, writing/submitting papers, and helping and supervising UG/G students. This includes leading a research project in close collaboration with the PI and other lab members, Advance technical aspects of experimental approaches and mechanistic understanding/solving of Hardware Security and Trust challenges.
30% of the time will be spent writing and submitting proposals as necessary and securing external funding. The Postdoctoral Researcher shall also be responsible for soliciting and being awarded the grant for the project's needs beyond 2023.
