Office Address Computer Security Laboratory (CSL) |
HiringModel-Based Engineering of Secure Software and Systems Several Ph.D. and M. Sc. scholarships are available to conduct research on the model-based engineering of secure software and systems. This is part of a research partnership between NSERC, Ericsson Canada, Prompt Quebec and the Computer Security Laboratory (CSL) of the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering (CIISE), Concordia University. The project involves the elaboration of foundations, techniques, and tools for the model-based specification, design and implementation of secure software and systems using state of the art modeling languages such as UML and SysML. The project also has a strong emphasis on verification and validation techniques for security. The planned research involves a great balance between theory and practice. A good background in:
is definitely a plus. System and application programming skills using Java and C++ are highly appreciated. Interested applicants are invited to email their transcript and CV to:
The Computer Security Laboratory is a center for innovative research in information systems security. It is funded by several provincial and federal granting agencies as well as industrial corporations and governmental organizations. It hosts a critical mass of professors and Ph.D./M. Sc. students working on several IT security research themes such as security hardening, security assessment, network security, cyber forensics, cryptography, multimedia security, privacy, etc. National Cyber Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) Canada The National Cyber Forensics Training Alliance Canada (NCFTA Canada) has several openings for graduate students in the areas of information security and cyber forensics. Outstanding graduate students will be offered scholarships to work closely with both professors and industrial/governmental experts on real-world research projects funded by NCFTA Canada members. Such experiences will be invaluable for students who plan to seek industrial positions upon graduation. The positions require a strong background in practical aspects of in IT security, cyber forensics and software development. Applicants should also have a good understanding of general computer science/engineering principles, and are proficient in object-oriented programming, such as Java/C++. Initial exposure to topics in data mining, network security, application and middleware security is a plus. We encourage all qualified students to apply, but Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. NCFTA Canada is an alliance formed by seven major Canadian companies including Bell Canada, Rogers Communications, Ericsson Canada and Microsoft Canada, and governmental agencies such as the Competition Bureau of Canada and Quebec Police. Concordia University is proud to be the host of NCFTA Canada. This new organization will address the need for industry, academia, and law enforcement to work together and share information about cyber incidents in a neutral venue to identify and mitigate threats. This goal will be achieved through a series of research projects funded by members of the NCFTA Canada. Current and prospective graduate students at Concordia with matching background are encouraged to apply. Applicants should send an application letter, resume, and a transcript to one of following professors:
