About this position
Networked Systems Security (NSS) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is inviting doctoral students to join research in security and privacy for trustworthy networked systems. The positions are based in the NSS lab at EECS/CLS and are aimed at candidates who want to contribute to original PhD research with peer-reviewed publications.
The project is broad and flexible within the lab’s research agenda, allowing work across the NSS group’s areas in security and privacy. The group focuses on designing and building trustworthy networked systems, with research spanning a wide range of security and privacy challenges. The advert especially highlights security and resilience of positioning and localization, including global navigation satellite systems, while also welcoming experimental, systems-oriented, and theoretical profiles.
The research environment is described as active and internationally connected, with the NSS group contributing to a new security curriculum at KTH and supporting work on design, analysis, verification, implementation, and empirical evaluation of secure networked systems.
