Position description
The Networks and Embedded Systems division is now looking for a PhD student in Computer Science.
The student will focus on ensuring safe and secure partitioning of applications on edge computing nodes. This is particularly important for applications with safety and timing-critical requirements, deployed in resource-constrained edge environments. The project aims to develop monitoring and policing techniques to guarantee that multiple applications can run concurrently on shared hardware without interference, ensuring that each receives the necessary computing capacity and remains unaffected by resource contention or malicious activities.
The student will be part of CoDig, a Vinnova-funded competence center focused on accelerating the digital transformation of Sweden's software-intensive industries by fostering continuous digitalization. The center aims to strengthen Sweden's global competitiveness through research, knowledge exchange, and collaboration between academia and industry. CoDig focuses on continuous development practices, including areas like continuous testing, safety, security, and AI-supported digitalization. This project focuses on safe and secure partitioning of edge computing nodes, directly contributes to CoDig's larger goal by addressing the critical need for robust and secure digital infrastructure, ensuring that software systems can evolve continuously while maintaining high standards of safety and performance in real-time environments
Teaching tasks such as course assistant and lecturer may also occur to a maximum extent of 20%.
Qualifications
For basic eligibility, the following is required:
• A degree at an advanced level.
• At least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 are at an advanced level.
• Equivalent knowledge acquired in Sweden or abroad through other means.
Specific eligibility requirements include having the following:
• a master's level degree i Computer Science. Students with equivalent knowledge can also be admitted.
Assessment criteria
Prior to employment, consideration must be given to the ability to assimilate third-cycle courses and study programmes at a higher education. For this position, particular attention will be paid to dood proficiency in English and the ability to express oneself verbally and in writing.
Practical experience with operating systems and middlewares for heterogeneous platforms such as CPU and GPU processors and experience in implementing partitioning techniques (containers, orchestration, virtualisation) in Linux is meritorious.
In an overall assessment of suitability, emphasis is also placed on personal abilities. All employees at MDU are expected to cooperate and treat colleagues and students with respect, take responsibility for the organisation and their own work duties and contribute to a positive work environment.
