Title: Multiple Postdoc Positions on Formal Methods for Cyber Security
http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/yangliu/securify.html
Nanyang Technological University and
Singapore University of Technology and Design
Highly motivated applicants are sought to work on developing and applying
verification techniques for infinite state systems in the project on Building
Security Verified System.
The project aims to fully verify the execution stack of a cyber-physical system:
i.e., hardware, operating system, system libraries and applications, using
model checking and theorem proving technologies.
The postdocs will work with the PAT formal methods research group
(www.patroot.com) and other researchers at NTU and SUTD in Singapore.
They will also have the opportunity to travel overseas to collaborate with
partners of the project, including ETH Zurich, Oxford University, Royal
Holloway University of London, University of Luxembourg, Hong Kong University
of Science and Technology.
Positions for Research Fellow and Senior Research Fellow are available for the
following topics:
1. Hardware Verification.
The preferred candidates are those with experience in one or more of the
following areas:
- Formal methods, model checking, theorem proving.
- Temporal logics, Higher order logic.
- Functional programming.
- Hardware design, especially SPARK/LEON architecture

Contact: Yang Liu (yang...@ntu.edu.sg)
The position involves conducting basic research, developing tools, working as
part of a research team, travelling, and giving presentations. The working
language is English.
Apart from specific requirements to each topic candidate general requirements
are:
- A PhD in Computer Science or related areas is required.
- Strong background in logic and discrete math.
- Strong programming skills.
- An established research record.
The term is currently one to three years starting as early as January 2015 till
all positions are filled.
The salary range is 4000 SGD - 6000 SGD per month for Research Fellows and
6000 - 8000 SGD per month for Senior Research Fellows.
Yearly bonus is 1 to 3 month salary based on the performance.
Singapore's tax is around 3%-5% of the annual salary.
1USD = 1.25 SGD.
Candidates interested in a particular topic or topics should contact the
contact person(s) listed in the respective topics above for more details.
General inquiries can be directed at either Yang Liu, Jun Sun and Alwen Tiu.
