Job Description

The Computer Science Department at the University of Rochester seeks an 
enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to work on exciting research 
projects utilizing the Secure Virtual Architecture (SVA).  SVA is an 
open-source LLVM-based virtual machine that enforces security policies 
on commodity software (both application and operating system kernel 
code).  The postdoctoral researcher will extend the static analysis 
capabilities of SVA for the purposes of optimizing run-time checks and 
evaluating the efficacy of currently developed defenses.  The position 
is available for one year starting in Fall 2017 and can be renewed for a 
second year based on performance.

Job Duties

The postdoctoral researcher will perform the following tasks:

  * Develop new compiler analysis and transformation passes in the LLVM
    compiler
  * Add new features to the SVA run-time library
  * Enhance the open-source SVA code for use by external researchers
  * Assist in the writing of research papers and grants


Desired Qualifications

  * Doctoral degree in Computer Science or related field
  * Experience writing LLVM compiler passes
  * Strong research publication record
  * Familiarity with x86/x86_64 assembly language preferred
  * Experience with operating system kernel and/or hypervisor internals
    preferred
