3. Research Fellow/Research Engineer for National Satellite of Excellence in Trustworthy Software Systems at Singapore Management University (SMU)

Job Description:

This project is to innovate cutting-edge techniques to automatically and systematically generate code paths for maliciously-influenced kernel behaviours. The outcome includes a system infrastructure for an analysis tool to transparently and securely control the target in either user or kernel mode; and hybrid symbolic execution algorithms based on that infrastructure to explore kernel execution paths. It not only enhances kernel-oriented security analysis, testing, and certification with a widened code coverage, but also strengthens malware analysis with a deepened understanding of underlying kernel activities.

Job Requirement:

Applicants for Research Fellow should hold a Ph.D. degree in relevant areas including but not limited to software engineering, compiler and software security, with prior experience and publications. Applicants for Research Engineer should hold a Bachelor degree in Computer Science or related disciplines, with extensive experience in C and C++ programming.

Application:

Interested applicants can send their CVs to A/P. Ding Xuhua at xhding@smu.edu.sg

4. Research Fellow/Research Engineer at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)

Job Description:

In this project, we seek to work on IoT wireless security. We have recently discovered SweynTooth: https://asset-group.github.io/disclosures/sweyntooth/ -- a family of over dozen security vulnerabilities in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol implementations. In general, this project will focus on systematic security testing of wireless protocol implementations in the wild. Currently, we aim to expand our work for testing the security of complex wireless protocols e.g., 5G and beyond and the testing of a variety of IoT protocols. The goal of this research is not only publishing high quality papers, but also to deploy our technologies in a concrete real-world testbed. Prospective candidates are encouraged to look at the publications describing our Greyhound framework (see our TDSC 2020 and USENIX ATC 2020 papers).

Job Requirement:

For postdoc positions, applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or equivalent. For research engineer positions, a Bachelor/Master in Engineering in Computer Science or equivalent is required. A successful candidate should have a strong research experience/interest one or more of the fields: 1) Computer Networks, 2) Software Security, 3) Embedded Systems and IoT.
