Do you aspire a doctorate?

We highly encourage you to pursue your goal. Within the doctorate in the area of design methodology for engineering resilient systems, it is intended to implement a dynamically reconfigurable redundancy in hardware and to investigate its effectiveness as a countermeasure against physical attacks. The doctorate is supported by an experienced supervisor and accompanied within the framework of a supervision agreement. We aim together for completion of your doctorate within 3-5 years. After one and a half years, the topic will be finally defined and the contract duration will be adjusted accordingly by mutual agreement to the foreseeable doctoral period.

You already have finished a doctorate?

You will broaden and deepen your expertise and have opportunities to build your reputation as a scientist in international and interdisciplinary projects with global visibility at the edge of top-notch technologies.

Your qualifications:

Necessary:

  • Master’s degree or a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a comparable field
  • Strong background and excellent knowledge of mathematic, digital circuit architecture and design
  • Programming/specification: VHDL or Verilog, C or C++, Linux shell scripting skillsets
  • Confident handling of the English language
