About this position

Chalmers University of Technology is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to develop secure foundations for distributed artificial intelligence systems. The project addresses AI training, inference, and AI agents operating across wide-area networks where no single party controls the infrastructure and where network-based threats can undermine system correctness.

The researcher will establish an independent research line within defense-driven distributed AI security. The work will model network adversaries, design protocols and architectures that remain correct when parts of the network are adversarial, specify precise security guarantees, and evaluate the resulting approaches through large-scale experiments on real systems. The overall goal is to advance secure-by-design distributed AI platforms.

The postdoctoral researcher will join Secura Lab, led by Assistant Professor Muoi Tran, within the Division of Computer and Network Systems in Chalmers’ Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Secura Lab researches network security and the protection of infrastructure underlying modern digital systems, with work connected to security and blockchain research communities.

The role combines research leadership with collaboration and mentoring. The postdoc will work closely with PhD students, contribute to teaching, supervise MSc theses, coordinate the weekly lab meeting, support students’ day-to-day research questions, and present results at international conferences while building academic and industry collaborations. The research environment includes a growing network security group and a joint Chalmers–University of Gothenburg computing department.

Funding details

Temporary full-time employment for two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The postdoctoral researcher is an employee of Chalmers and receives employee benefits; specific salary and stipend amounts are not stated.

What's required

A doctoral degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field focused on security, networking, distributed systems, formal methods, applied cryptography, or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained no later than the employment decision. Applicants must have first-author publications at leading international security, systems, or networking venues; experience designing, analyzing, or evaluating the security of protocols or distributed systems; strong systems and programming skills, including building, deploying, and evaluating prototypes on real software; and very good written and spoken English. Swedish is not required. Meritorious experience includes a recently obtained doctorate, formal or provable security guarantees, secure protocol design, formal verification, Byzantine fault tolerance, peer-to-peer systems, blockchains, Internet routing security, distributed training, inference serving, LLM agents, Internet measurement, large-scale experiments, released research artifacts, teaching, or MSc supervision.
