PhD positions in P2P Networks, TU Darmstadt, Germany

The Peer to Peer Networking Group at TU Darmstadt (Germany) is
currently offering fully funded

PhD student positions (BAT IIa [1]).

We are working on decentralized distributed systems (Peer to Peer,
opportunistic-/ disruption tolerant networks) with a special focus on
their robustness to failure and their resilience to denial of service
attacks. The search for new application domains in which these
concepts can help to improve services constantly drives us to tackle
new fields and their problems with flexibility. Some current examples
from our research comprise of cloud computing, emergency first
response, as well as secure and privacy preserving online social
networks, on which we are working at the moment. More information
about us can be found at our website: http://www.p2p.tu-darmstadt.de/

You have recently and very successfully received a degree in computer
science, mathematics, physics or a related field. You have strong
practical and analytical skills and strong knowledge in networks,
distributed systems, and/or network security. Very good English skills
are a prerequisite. Basic knowledge of the German language will help
in the day-to-day life but is not necessarily needed.

The positions are available and the candidates can start immediately.

cv, certificates and references to:
