1 PostDoc position in Security Perimeter Virtualization

One PostDoc position in IT Security Perimeter Virtualization,
University
of Twente, The Netherlands

The Distributed and Embedded Systems and Information Systems research
groups of the University of Twente collaborate with a number of
industrial partners in the VISPER (http://visper.eemcs.utwente.nl)
project.

In this project, we investigate modelling and developing a
virtual security perimeter across the digital, physical, and
organisational domains. We will investigate how re-perimeterisation
affects the digital domain (where data moves from organisation to
organisation through networks), the social domain (where one
individual may play a variety of roles in cooperating organisations)
and the physical domain (where appliances such as mobile phones and
laptops move around). We are currently looking for one PostDoc (three
years) who will investigate the linkage between the policies and the
mechanisms across the three domains (vacancy number 06/127).

What we look for and what we offer:

You have completed a PhD or are about to complete one, in an area
that
is relevant to our research, e.g. computer
science, software engineering, or operations research. You like
working in a team and have intellectual curiosity and knowledge of
one
or more of the following topics: information systems, distributed
systems, security, decision support techniques. Your main
responsibility will be to carry out research, but you will be given
the opportunity to acquire some teaching experience.

We offer both our PostDoc researchers the opportunity
to broaden their knowledge by joining international exchange
programs,
by participating in national and international conferences and
workshops, and by visiting other research institutes and universities
worldwide.

The monthly salary of a PostDoc starts at EURO 2708 per year and is
negotiable.
