The Resilient Computing and Cybersecurity Center (RC3) of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST ) invites applications for multiple research scientist positions in the broad areas of Cybersecurity and Dependability. The RC3 center is a research unit aiming at developing the emerging area of Resilient Computing in symbiosis with classic Cybersecurity paradigms, fulfilling the innovative vision --- followed by an increasing number of stakeholders --- that “(Cyber) Resilience is the Cybersecurity of the XXI century”.
We are looking for research scientists with experience, who have demonstrated the ability to do independent research as well as effectively work with others in a team, and who wish to give a boost in their career. We seek candidates who are prepared to participate in the shaping of such a challenging and innovative research theme, as well as contributing to the ambitious research agenda of the RC3 center, supported by a very substantial funding landscape.

- Resilience of Cyber-Physical System and IoT Infrastructures (e.g., HW-assisted and adaptive R/T and BFT control, autonomous land/air/space vehicles, power, process industry, SCADA and R/T Digital Twins).
- Resilience and scalability of Internet and Cloud distributed systems (fault and intrusion tolerance, consensus, BFT, blockchainand ledger tech), in e.g., e-Health, FinTech, e-Gov.
- Security and Dependability of Embedded Components and Sub-systems (e.g., manycores, SoC, FPGA, hypervisors, TEE/SGX, ECUs).
- Data Privacy and Integrity in Highly Sensitive Sectors (e.g., fintech and blockchain, social, sharing vs. privacyin life-cycle of biomedical data, safe and secure operation of medical systems).
The candidates are expected to help define and lead research projects in the center, working with independence together with RC3 director Prof. Paulo Esteves-Veríssimo and other PIs, and co-leading the respective teams including post-docs and students. In so doing, they are expected to perform high-quality research and publish results in the most selective venues. Good communication and presentation skills are a must.
