About The Position

The College of IST Cyber Security Lab has a wage payroll position open. We are looking for a research assistant who has expertise in the intersection of embedded systems security, program analysis, and system emulation. In particular, the researcher will work on recovering the boundary between application logic and hardware-dependent code in embedded firmware, and on assessing whether that boundary still holds once the firmware executes. Accordingly, the researcher should have adequate experience in both program analysis and real-time embedded systems. This position involves part-time wage payroll employment.

Requirements

• Expertise in the intersection of embedded systems security, program analysis, and system emulation.
• Adequate experience in both program analysis and real-time embedded systems.

Responsibilities

• Identify and address the limitations of existing approaches to separating embedded software from its hardware dependencies.
• Develop a new analysis framework that recovers this boundary automatically from firmware.
• Conduct experiments to validate the framework.
• Write a technical report.
