Associate/Assistant Professor in Internet-of-Things (IoT) Security

Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (DTU Compute) at the Technical University of Denmark, invites applications for a position as Associate/Assistant Professor in Internet-of-Things (IoT) Security
The position is associated with the Embedded Systems Engineering Section at DTU Compute
Deadline: 15 August 2017
More details at Associate/Assistant Professor in Internet of Things (IoT) Security

DTU Compute is an internationally unique academic environment spanning the science disciplines mathematics, statistics and computer science. At the same time, we are an engineering department covering informatics and communication technologies (ICT) in their broadest sense. Finally, we play a major role in addressing the societal challenges of the digital society where ICT is a part of every industry, service, and human endeavour.

Computational models and methods play an increasingly decisive role in the engineering sciences, in industrial production, in planning and economics, and in the health care sector. DTU Compute also plays a central role in education at all levels of the engineering programmes at DTU - both in terms of our scientific disciplines and our didactic innovation. For more information about the department and the section, see www.compute.dtu.dk.

Responsibilities and tasks
With this position, we wants to strengthen our capabilities in teaching, research, and innovation within the areas of Internet of Things (IoT) security in relation to, among others, modelling, analyzing and evaluating security of networked computer systems.

Research in the Section for Embedded Systems Engineering (ESE) focuses on a broad range of topics within embedded and distributed systems where close interaction between hardware and software components as well as between the system and its environment, including human users, are necessary and where issues such as cost, timeliness, dependability, usability, security, trust, energy consumption, reconfigurability and adaptability are often competing requirements.

Building on sound theoretical foundations, the section has a long tradition of empirical research and research often includes development of research prototypes and demonstrators. The section seeks to expand its expertise and capabilities in the area of Internet of Things (IoT) security in order to expand existing collaboration with local industry and develop new areas of collaboration with national and international industry and research groups.

As an assistant/associate professor you will be responsible for building and expanding the section's expertise, research and innovation in IoT security, including:

• Security and privacy of IoT systems
• Dependable IoT Systems and Networks
• Practical aspects of IoT security (techniques and tools)
• Security for pervasive computing, including wireless sensor networks and Fog computing
• Energy efficiency and security for embedded IoT devices
• Dissemination of research challenges and results to the broader public

You will - in addition to your own research - be expected to contribute to existing research projects and themes within the section and the department. You will also be affiliated to the recently formed DTU Center for Internet-of-Things.
