Research Fellow, Security (School of Computing)

Requirements

• The candidate should have a PhD in computer security, computer architecture, systems, or a closely related area.
• Strong experience with processor testing, hardware security, or fuzzing is expected.
• The candidate should be comfortable reading processor designs and working with simulation tools.
• Programming ability is important, especially for building research systems that can run at scale.
• The role also requires the ability to explain technical work clearly to people with different backgrounds.
• The candidate should be able to turn a research idea into a working prototype, compare it fairly with prior methods, and write papers that make the contribution easy to understand.
• A strong record of top-tier publications is necessary.

Job Description The National University of Singapore invites applications for the position of Research Fellow in the Department of Computer Science, School of Computing (SoC). SoC is strongly committed to research excellence in all its dimensions: Searching for fundamental results and insights in developing novel computational solutions to a wide range of applications, building largescale experimental systems, developing theories and policies for effective management of information systems in organizations, and improving the well-being of society. We seek to play an active role both internationally and locally in the core and emerging areas of Computer Science and Information Systems. The postdoctoral researcher will work on processor security and hardware testing. The role focuses on building new ways to find design bugs in processors before those processors are manufactured or deployed. This includes fuzzing, which means automatically generating many test programs to stress a processor design and expose incorrect behavior. The work will also study transient execution attacks, where a processor may briefly compute on secret data and leave traces that an attacker can observe. The candidate will design new testing methods, build research prototypes, evaluate them on open processor designs, and publish the results in leading security and systems venues. The candidate will also help mentor PhD students, contribute to research planning, and support collaborations with academic and industry partners.
