Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Positions Available
Secure Software Systems Laboratory
Department of Computer Science
Purdue University
The Purdue University S3 Laboratory invites applications for Doctoral Studentand Post-doctoral Fellow positions. The S3 Lab was created in 1999 to fostersystems and programming language research. It is run jointly by PatrickEugster, Tony Hosking, Suresh Jagannathan, and Jan Vitek. We investigate theapplication of static and dynamic program analyses to object-oriented,functional, and real-time programs for the purposes of optimization andvalidation of correctness and security properties. We also develop opensourcesoftware in the areas of mobile and untrusted computation, embedded systems,concurrent and distributed systems, and persistent programming. Our activeresearch directions include software transactions, intrusion detection,ownership types, real-time Java, aspect-oriented programming, semantics ofconcurrency control, and static program analysis.
Our work has current funding from the National Science Foundation, DARPA,IBM,Microsoft Research, Cisco, NEC, and Intel. The lab has close ties withindustrial research labs at Motorola, Sun, IBM and Intel. We have a longhistory of placing students at those labs. We also collaborate withresearchers across the US, Europe, and Asia.
Applicants are expected to take part in the research and social life of thelab, interact with students and work closely with faculty. Presently, thelab has 12 graduate students, two Post-docs, and several undergraduates. Weexpect to hire up to four new graduate students and two additionalpost-docs. For post-doctoral positions a PhD in Computer Science isrequired, for doctoral students research experience is desirable. Preferencewill be given to applicants with experience in one of the following areas:
- Runtime Systems and Virtual Machines
- Programming Language Implementation
- Program Analysis and Formal Verification
- Type Systems & Language Semantics
- Real-time and Embedded Systems
Applicants should send a CV, a statement of research interests, and the nameof three references who may be contacted for letters of recommendation.Application material and inquiries should be sent to either one of:
- Suresh Jagannathan,

Purdue University, the largest land-grant college of Indiana, has achievedinternational recognition in the areas of engineering, and science. TheWest Lafayette campus of Purdue enrolls about 38,000 students. PurdueUniversity is located in West Lafayette, Indiana, which lies on the banks ofthe Wabash River. Lafayette can be reached by car from Indianapolis in onehour and from downtown Chicago in two hours. The larger Lafayette-WestLafayette area (population 130,000) has shopping malls, restaurants of note,two hospitals, two large municipal parks, and five golf courses.
The Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, WestLafayette, was formed in 1962 and is recognized as one of the top computerscience programs in the country. The department offers the degreesof Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Ph.D. in Computer Science.Currently, we have about 750 undergraduate majors and 180 graduatestudents working towards degrees. In the latest US News ranking ofgraduate schools, Purdue Computer Science was ranked #18 in the USA.
