RESEARCH JOB OPPORTUNITY at DARTMOUTH COLLEGE

Intrusion detection and analysis

Department of Computer Science (CS) <http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/>
    and
Institute for Security Technology Studies (ISTS) <http://ists.dartmouth.edu>

In a joint project between CS and ISTS, we are investigating new
methods and tools for system administrators and law-enforcement
personnel to detect and track computer-system intruders. Our research
uses techniques from distributed computing, mobile agents,
information retrieval, and machine learning.

The project is coordinated by Professors Jay Aslam, David Kotz, and
Daniela Rus from the Department of Computer Science, in cooperation
with (and funded by) the Institute for Security Technology Studies at
Dartmouth.

If you're interested in working in an exciting, state-of-the-art
research project, testing your limits and learning new skills, then
you should read further to learn more about this opportunity!

We have one full-time positions available for a postdoctoral Research
Associate. Duties and salary would be matched to your particular
skills, interests, and experience. Our ideal candidates will be an
experienced researcher with a recent Ph.D in Computer Science or
Computer Engineering that can take on a portion of the research
project, develop new ideas, implement part of the software, and
supervise some of the graduate and undergraduate students. We're
looking for people with practical skills in operating systems,
security, or distributed computing, and/or theoretical skills
information retrieval and machine learning.

We offer competitive salaries and some help toward moving expenses.

GRADUATE STUDENTS too

We are always interested in attracting skilled and motivated graduate
students. The Computer Science department has programs leading to the
M.S. and Ph.D degrees; the Computer Engineering program can lead to
an M.E. or Ph.D degree. Contact us, or check out the web site, for
more information.

LOCATION

Dartmouth College is located in the beautiful small college town of
Hanover, New Hampshire. Hanover lies along the eastern bank of the
Connecticut River, between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the
White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is a small town (about 9,200
residents) whose major employers are Dartmouth College and the
Dartmouth-Hitch*** Medical Center. The downtown area, consisting of
about four square blocks of shops, is right next to the College.
Hanover has tried hard to preserve the traditional New England small
town qualities, leading to a fantastic quality of life. Local schools
are excellent. The outdoors are close by and full of recreational
opportunities. You won't be living in suburbia and commuting through
rush-hour traffic here!
