Duties/Project description: The Division of Computer Systems seeks to strengthen its core research activities through the recruitment of up to five promising postdocs. The division’s research includes modeling, design, and analysis of new computer architectures, new methods in computer communication, and new techniques in embedded systems. In all those areas, the division has produced groundbreaking theoretical and applied results.

This call is open to applicants across any of the research fields within the division. Each post-doc will be placed in one of the research groups in the division, but we are particularly interested in applicants who can span multiple groups through collaborative projects. Relevant research groups and projects are:

• Algorithmic verification, in particular verification and testing of concurrent programs;
• Communications research, in particular backscatter communication and battery-free communication;
• Computer architecture, in particular microarchitecture, memory systems, security, and hardware/software co-design;
• Embedded systems, in particular modelling, design, and analysis of systems that allow dynamic update;
• Security, in particular of networked embedded IoT systems and applications, software security, and security for in-body sensor networks.
