Tenure Track Professorship in Hardware Security and Trust
Estonia is the homeland of pioneering ICT solutions which include Skype, e-identity, e-health, and e-governance. Building on these successes, the Estonian ICT industry and academia are establishing a new Research Group of Hardware Security and Trust (HW S&T) at the Tallinn University of Technology. Security and trust are research topics, whose significance has been rapidly increasing together with emerging threats to our digitized world. In fact, a major share of security problems have their origins in computer systems’ hardware. The latest examples include security holes Meltdown and Spectre discovered in 2018 as well as the hardware bug detected in the chips used in Estonian ID-cards. Yet security for hardware systems has received far less attention in academic research than that for software.
The new research group on HW S&T will not only benefit local industry developing secure ICT systems but also the critical infrastructure companies in the energy, water supply and telecom sectors as well as the state defense. The primary role of the candidate is to act as the Estonian principle investigator in HW S&T, leading the new research group. From its inception, the group will collaborate with established research teams in Digital Forensics and Cyber Security, Dependable Computer Systems, Communication, as well as with national and international industrial partners.

- ability and interest to collaborate across disciplines
- experience in developing an academic curriculum in English
- willingness to cooperate with industry and the public sector
Successful candidates are expected to perform basic and applied research and teaching related to HW S&T with a focus on tools and methodologies for secure hardware design, hardware architectures for cryptography, side channel attacks and countermeasures, isolation in virtualized systems, ensuring configuration integrity of network devices, among others.
