Key Responsibilities: 

• Design and develop novel in-network security and privacy solutions, considering the constraints of P4 and the underlying hardware. 

• Conduct extensive experiments and evaluations to assess the performance of the proposed solution and apply optimizations to it if needed. 

• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in network programmability, related standards, and/or industry trends. 

• Produce technical reports and documentation to communicate findings to internal and external stakeholders. 

 
Qualifications: 

• PhD (or close to completion) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field. 

• Strong research track record (e.g., publications in top-tier conferences and journals) in network programmability (e.g., SDN, P4-based data plane programming) and network security. 

• Hands-on expertise in experimenting, measuring, and evaluating networked systems. 

• Experience with high-speed networking software (specifically Intel® P4 Studio) and/or hardware (specifically Intel's Tofino switches) is required. 

• Strong oral and written communication skills in English.  

• Ability to work in a highly collaborative, international and interdisciplinary environment.
