CONTEXT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is part of the novel CyberGalaxia project, part of\u00a0CyberExcellence<\/a>, and funded by the FEDER European fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one to two-year contract (to be discussed) will take place at\u00a0Galaxia<\/a>, location of many companies active in cybersecurity and space, such as Rhea, Telespazio and, of course near the ESA and the Euro Space Center.<\/a> The researcher will have the opportunity to train on two demonstrators, including a cyber range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this contract is limited and, therefore, too short to conduct a PhD, it is possible to look for further funding to conduct a PhD (typically four years in Belgium) with the ENSG. Applying as a post-doc is also possible.<\/strong> The salary will be matched with UCLouvain’s salary scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RESEARCH FIELD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Networking, Systems, NFV, CyberSecurity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MINIMUM REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The candidate must have obtained a Master’s degree in computer science before the start date (April 2024, can be adapted). If applying as a post-doc, the same rule applies to the doctoral dissertation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APPLICATION DEADLINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASAP,<\/strong> applications will be reviewed every two weeks until a candidate is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOCATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The applicant will share his or her time between Galaxia in Transinnes which is where the contact will be established, and a second office in Louvain-La-Neuve. The split of her\/his time is to be discussed. Given that access to Galaxia is limited with public transport, the applicant should have their own car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TYPE OF CONTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Engineer, 1 to 2 year position, full-time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funded as part of the CyberGalaxia FEDER project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OFFER DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The applicant will join the ENSG, but work partly at Galaxia in Transinnes with other members of CyberGalaxia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The candidate will build a network audit system to allow auditors to run analyses on network traffic without violating user privacy or regulations such as the GDPR. To this end, the candidate will build a verifier that ensures that the private data of users analyzed by the audit system are aggregated in a sufficient manner before being exported to the listener. For instance, the program can scan each connection to check the recipient’s secure server name (TLS SNI) but can only output a proportion of users heading to the servers of this or that service provider. The system will be based on Retina<\/a>, a system previously built in a consortium including the ENSG and Stanford ESRG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
