PhD candidates in Security and Dependability of Cyber-Physical Systems

SnT is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services.

SnT is looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place!

CritiX (Critical and Extreme Security and Dependability) is a research group, and a laboratory for state-of-the-art research in a problem area that may be described as extreme computing, including the protection of critical systems and data against severe and persistent threats.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity of shaping their PhD research around challenging and innovative research themes, as well as contributing to the ambitious research agenda of the CritiX lab. They will be given excellent conditions for the development of their research skills, in terms of working conditions, mentoring and laboratory facilities.

The research topics this opening is calling for are:

Resilience of Cyber-Physical System Infrastructures and Control (e.g., SCADA, CPS, Automotive).
Internet and Cloud Infrastructures Resilience (e.g., SDN, IoT).
Security and Dependability of Embedded Components (e.g., multicores, hypervisors, SGX, ECUs).
Radiation Tolerant System Architectures for Space (e.g., on board computers, new space).
