Postdoctoral Fellowship in Language-Based and Systems Security

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the area of language-based and systems security at Harvard University, starting in Fall 2012. The hosting project aims to improve the guarantees offered by both language-based information security mechanisms and operating system information security mechanisms by considering the interaction between these mechanisms.

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Computer Science (completed or soon to be completed), a combination of strong theoretical and practical interests, expertise in language-based and systems security, a substantial publication history, good teamwork and communication skills, including excellent spoken and written English. The position is initially for one year, with possible extension up to three years. Please note that Harvard requires confirmation of Ph.D. completion before the postdoctoral position can begin.

To apply, please send a CV, research statement, and the names and contact information of three people who can be asked for letters of reference to Prof. Stephen Chong (http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~chong). Review of applications will begin immediately. Applications received by June 1 will receive full consideration.

Harvard University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and applications from women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged.
