The International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) invites applications for a postdoctoral Fellow position in the area of high-performance network security monitoring.
The Fellow will be working with ICSI's networking group on designing, implementing, and evaluating novel approaches to highly concurrent network traffic analyses in large-scale network environments. The work will focus on exploiting the concurrency potential of both commodity and special-purpose hardware platforms, as well as on building novel programming & execution environments tailored to the target domain.
Candidates should have a strong systems background in either networking or concurrent systems, as well as interest in research combining the two fields. Candidates should also have extensive experience in multiple of the following areas: network security, network protocols, multi-core architectures, compiler technology, performance profiling, network processors, custom hardware design. Furthermore, candidates should be familiar with programming in C/C++ & Python in Unix-based environments.
ICSI is an independent not-for-profit Institute located a few blocks from the Berkeley campus of the University of California. It is closely affiliated with the University, and particularly with the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department. See www.icsi.berkeley.edu to learn more about ICSI, and www.icir.org for more information about the networking group.
The appointment will be for one year, and a Ph.D. in computer science (or an equivalent degree) is required for the position. To apply, email an application to applications@icir.org , including a cover letter, curriculum vitae and contact information for at least three references.
ICSI is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Applications from women and minorities are especially encouraged. Hiring is contingent on eligibility to work in the United States.
