Assistant Professor in Low-Power Secure Computer Architectures for Edge Devices

Descrizione

Assistant Professor in Low-Power Secure Computer Architectures for Edge Devices Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): L'organizzazione internazionale cerca un Professore universitario specializzato in architetture informatiche sicure a basso consumo per dispositivi edge. La posizione è basata in un ente di ricerca che si occupa di sistemi elettronici intelligenti. Le principali mansioni includono la conduzione di ricerche innovative nel campo della sicurezza e dell'efficienza energetica, lo sviluppo e l'insegnamento di corsi a livello universitario, e la supervisione di studenti di laurea, master e dottorato. È richiesta una laurea in ingegneria informatica o un campo correlato, con esperienza nella progettazione di sistemi sicuri e sostenibili. Il candidato ideale avrà l'opportunità di contribuire a programmi di ricerca di alto livello e formare talenti nel settore STEM. The proliferation of edge computing has introduced new challenges in security, energy efficiency, and architectural design. Traditional security mechanisms, designed for general purpose or cloud-scale systems, are often computationally intensive and energy-demanding, making them unsuitable for edge environments. Moreover, the physical accessibility of edge devices increases their exposure to hardware-level attacks, including side-channel analysis, fault injection, and reverse engineering. These threats necessitate architectural innovations that embed security directly into the hardware fabric, enabling trustworthy computation without compromising energy budgets. Treating security as a first-class citizen when designing hardware components and future computer architectures requires novel design methodologies that enable explicit trade-offs between low-power, real-time, safety and security aspects in the hardware architecture. Are you inspired to have your research achieve these goals and develop design methodologies that enable the deployment of scalable, secure, and sustainable edge systems across domains such as healthcare, mobility, smart infrastructure, and high-tech systems? Then this could be your next exciting new career opportunity. Information The ES group aims to provide a scientific basis for design trajectories of electronic systems, ranging from digital circuits to cyber-physical systems. Within this position you will contribute to our research on smart electronic systems. Next to your research activities you will develop and teach courses at both undergraduate and graduate level in English. You will also be involved in supervising Bachelor, Master, EngD, and PhD candidates. In this role, you will contribute to the ambition of the Beethoven program to educate top talent and strengthen research across the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
