Post-doc position

A postdoc position for 2 years is available at INRIA Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique. The research will take place in the Celtique team. The task will consist in developing certificates of software which makes it possible for a user to check a downloaded code, in an automatic manner and extremely quickly. A program producer can hence verify the security of his program with a large amount of computation resource before distributing it with a certificate that helps the consumer to replay the verification program but with very far fewer resources.

Candidates should have a background in program verification. Additional knowledge in one or more of the following topics will be appreciated:

  • static analysis,
  • theory of abstract interpretation,
  • language-based security,
  • deductive verification,
  • proof assistant,
  • decision procedures,
  • probabilistic verification
Knowledge of the French language is not required.

Start of contract

Ideally, the candidate will start working in october, but we can accomodate a later date, until beginning of 2010.

Salaries

  • A CV including a list of publications
