Could you please send the advert below for the second and last time to the eidma members? Discrete mathematicians, and more particularly cryptologists are very welcome to apply.

There is also an html version of the advert at http://www.utwente.nl/vacatures/vacatures_externe_werving/07-181.eng.doc/

Vacancies
. Associate professor ICT security
. Assistant professor ICT security

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
(EEMCS) at the University of Twente in the Netherlands offers courses in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Telematics, and Business Information Technology.

The Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT) is a multi- disciplinary research institute of the University of Twente. CTIT coordinates the research activities in all the areas relevant to the development, the introduction and the usage of telematics and information technology systems.

The Distributed and Embedded Security (DIES) Research Group of EEMCS/CTIT leads the largest multidisciplinary security research activity in the Netherlands. DIES has vacancies for an assistant and an associate professor ICT security.

Distributed and embedded systems are resource constrained, dynamically evolving, unattended systems, which interact with a physical environment with the ultimate purpose of serving people (Smart Systems). Security is an important topic because the threats represent huge practical problems, whereas the solutions require sophisticated theory, advanced tools and extensive experimentation. Specific topics that DIES works on include:
1. To advance our theoretical and practical knowledge of secure systems. 
For example, our current understanding of secure systems is so limited that the best we can do today is to build systems and to subject them to experiments.
2. To take modelling secure systems and their environment from art to science. For example, it is relatively easy to make a different model for each different property of a system, or for a different purpose (analysis, optimisation, simulation). It is hard to keep those models consistent.
3. To develop methods and tools (such as model checkers) supporting a holistic view of system security. For example, many properties are
delicate: only one leak is sufficient to spoil the security of an entire system.
4. To develop new security protocols and algorithms to improve the security of systems under stringent conditions such as resource constraints, dynamics, and unattended operation.

What we ask
You have a PhD in a security related area and your background is in computer science, electrical engineering, or mathematics. You have a proven track record of supervising PhD students, acquiring external funding and publishing in high quality journals and conferences.

What we offer
Both vacancies are for full time, permanent positions. The gross monthly salary depends on experience and qualifications and will be maximum € 4761 (scale 12) for an assistant professor and maximum € 5670 (scale 14) for an associate professor. The University of Twente provides excellent facilities for professional and personal development.

Women
In several areas women are still underrepresented. Therefore women are expressly invited to apply. 

Information and application
Please send your curriculum vitae, publication list, letter of motivation, and names of three referees, before February 1st 2008 to Prof. Dr. Pieter Hartel, email: pieter.hartel at utwente.nl, phone +31 53 489 2411, website:
