Summary

Job description : With this Assistant Professor position, we expect significant contributions in the field of Cloud Computing, especially in Trusted Computing, and research activities addressing novel methods, tools, and technologies to design and implement secure, reliable, and trustworthy cloud systems and applications that can protect the privacy and integrity of data and users.We expect contributions to extend DEI’s offers in teaching advanced courses in Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing (in FEUP DEI’s main Master’s Program in Informatics and Computing Engineering, and in the Doctoral Program in Informatics Engineering), to the supervision of MSc and PhD students in Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing topics, and to cutting edge research on methods, tools and technologies for Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing. We expect the preparation of project proposals mainly involving Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing and research results to be published in top-level conferences and journals. Scientific profile : PhD degree in Informatics Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical and Computer Engineering, with an emphasis on Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing. Rationale for the need to hire : Hiring an Assistant Professor with a background in Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing, and specifically conducting research in this domain, will allow DEI and INESC TEC to increase their know-how in a domain with capabilities to contribute significantly to other domains such as data science and engineering and information systems. The Master´s and Ph.D. programs at DEI aim to strengthen their courses on Cloud Computing and propose the inclusion of Trusted Computing while developing strong links between those courses with research activities on Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing. An Assistant Professor with a strong background in Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing would provide the department with the scientific profile for the required research activities and prepare young generations for Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing.
