Full Professor in Computer Security at KTH

KTH Royal Institute of Technology seeks a full professor in Computer Science

As part of an effort to expand its range of activities in the computer security area, the Department of Theoretical Computer Science with the School of Computer Science and Communication at KTH, Stockholm, Sweden, is looking to recruit a full professor in computer security.

Subject description 

Computer security concerns methods and techniques for the construction of secure computer systems. Relevant security properties include confidentiality, integrity, and availability at system, component, and data levels. The subject also includes modeling, analysis, and testing of existing computer systems from the point of view of security.

Eligibility requirements

A professor must possess documented scientific and didactic skills in the subject, and must have documented experience from independently managing, executing and developing education and research at an internationally high level.

Assessment criteria 

Extensive competence and skills are required in computer security and within one or more adjoining area(s) such as operating systems, machine architecture, parallel, distributed, and networked systems, formal methods, and programming languages. An important objective is to build up new activity in experimental computer security within undergraduate teaching as well as research. Research competence and/or industrial experience in practical aspects of computer security such as vulnerability testing is therefore given a high priority. Documented experience and ability to finance and lead larger research projects, as well as to develop national and international collaborations is of great importance, as is the ability to contribute to and develop university education at all levels, including supervision
