Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Secure Computer Architecture

We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the Oxford Secure Computer Architecture Research (OSCAR) group at the Department of Engineering Science in Central Oxford. The post is funded by Innovate UK (UKRI) and is fixed-term for 20-months from the starting date (preferably January 2025).
The project will investigate the challenges for extending confidential computing to cover certain capabilities in the memory systems. The project will help memory vendors provide further guarantees about data security while minimizing the performance overheads for such guarantees if implemented elsewhere. You will be responsible for the architectural exploration and prototyping efforts through simulation and FPGA emulation, along with coordinating with our partners to ensure interoperability of our proposed designs.
