Offer Description
CONTEXT
This project is part of the novel CyberGalaxia project, part of CyberExcellence, and funded by the FEDER European fund.
This one-year contract will take place at Galaxia , location of many companies active in cybersecurity and space, such as Rhea, Telespazio and, of course near the ESA and the Euro Space Center. The researcher will have the opportunity to train on two demonstrators, including a cyber range.
While this contract is limited to 1 year and therefore too short to conduct a PhD, it is possible to look for further funding to conduct a PhD (typically four years in Belgium) with the ENSG. Applying as a post-doc is also possible. The salary will be matched with UCLouvain’s salary scale.
ORGANISATION/COMPANY
Université catholique de Louvain
Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Electronics and Applied Mathematics (ICTEAM)
RESEARCH FIELD
Networking, Systems, NFV, Cyber Security, Space
MINIMUM REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
The candidate must have obtained a Master’s degree in computer science before the start date (April 2024, can be adapted). If applying as a post-doc, the same rule applies to the doctoral dissertation.
APPLICATION DEADLINE
ASAP, applications will be reviewed every two weeks until a candidate is found.
LOCATION
The applicant will share his or her time between Galaxia in Transinnes, where the contact will be established, and a second office in Louvain-La-Neuve. The split of her/his time is to be discussed.
TYPE OF CONTRACT
Research Engineer, 1 year position, full-time
Funded as part of the CyberGalaxia FEDER project.

OFFER DESCRIPTION
The applicant will join the ENSG, but work partly at Galaxia in Transinnes with other members of CyberExcellence.
The candidate will build a network audit system to allow auditors to run analyses on network traffic without violating user privacy or regulations such as the GDPR. To this end, the candidate will build a verifier that ensures that the private data of users analyzed by the audit system are aggregated in a sufficient manner before being exported to the listener. For instance, the program can scan each connection to check the recipient’s secure server name (TLS SNI) but can only output a proportion of users heading to the servers of this or that service provider. The system will be based on Retina , a system previously built in a consortium including the ENSG and Stanford ESRG.
The CyberGalaxia project studies cybersecurity problems, particularly in space. Hence, this project is particularly looking at how to run efficient network analysis in satellite-constrained resources and how to audit civilian traffic that is spreading with LEO Internet connection.
