We are looking for two bright and motivated PhD student for two 3-year PhD
positions. The main research topics of the two PhD positions are,
respectively:
(1) verifying that distributed applications respect correctness, safety and
reliability specifications; and (2) verifying the privacy and security
goals of
distributed programs and their interaction.

By joining the project team, you will become part of an international
research
collaboration to advance the development of secure and reliable distributed
applications.
*PROJECT DESCRIPTION*
The two positions are part of the upcoming Horizon Europe project TaRDIS
(Trustworthy and Resilient Decentralised Intelligence for edge Systems). The
project goal is to design and develop a novel, event-driven programming
model
and toolkit (with solid foundations based on formal methods) to help
programmers
in creating safe and reliable distributed applications. The focus lies on
distributed applications with smart and autonomous components deployed
across
the cloud-edge continuum.
Project TaRDIS is a collaboration between DTU, NOVA University Lisbon
(Portugal,
project coordinator), the University of Oxford (UK), the University of
Novi Sad
(Serbia), the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece), and 6
industry partners.
*RESPONSIBILITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS*
If you join this project, you will become a member of the DTU Compute
research
section on Software Systems Engineering, which involves researchers in
various
areas of software specification, verification, engineering, and security ---
with a strong emphasis on formal methods. You will also join the DTU
Compute PhD
school and take part in its courses and activities. As part of your PhD
training
and research activities, you will have research stays at the academic
collaborators' universities. Links:

Your main tasks within this project will be:
* become familiar with relevant state-of-the-art research in formal
methods
for modelling and verifying distributed applications --- with a
focus on
either (1) verification of correctness, safety and reliability, or (2)
modelling and verification of privacy and security properties;
* study the project’s industrial use cases;
* explore new methods to ensure the correctness of distributed
applications.
You will help in developing the necessary theory and implementing new
software tools based on such theory.
You will also have the opportunity to co-supervise MSc or BSc student
projects
related to your research.
To be considered for the position, you need some experience with formal
methods
for programming languages, or distributed systems, or security. You
will need
to document these skills by listing the relevant university courses you
took, or
the relevant experience you have.
It will be an advantage if you can also document good programming skills –
preferably including functional programming, and some experience in
developing
distributed applications.
To begin the PhD position, you must have a two-year master's degree (120
ECTS
points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year
master's degree. You can apply prior to obtaining the degree, providing the
expected graduation date.
*ASSESSMENT AND FURTHER DETAILS*
The assessment of the applicants will take place in early December 2022.
