Candidates should also have a strong understanding of experimental work on software security, with demonstrated ability to instrument systems, develop proof-of-concept prototypes and test them in large-scale experimental settings such as our testbed infrastructures. 

You should apply if

  • Knowledge and experience of software security.
  • Strong understanding of API (application programming interface) design and vulnerabilities.
  • Demonstrated experience of experimental work on software security, e.g., ability to instrument systems, develop proof-of-concept prototypes and test them in large-scale experimental settings.
