The Synthetix project is extending its research in the area of specialization of operating systems into operating system survivability. We are interested in hiring an additional staff member to help us pursue this research.
The position of research programmer is open from October 1996 for a period of up to three years. Desirable qualifications for this position include a Masters degree in computer science or a relevant related area and extensive practical experience in one or more of the following areas: operating system kernel design and implementation, operating system security, and runtime code generation. Depending on the candidate's skills, specific duties will include one or more of the following: using the Synthetix specialization tools to harden operating systems against binary attacks, the development of tools to enhance system survivability in the event of a security breach, and development of adaptive response technology to provide a specific response to a particular attack. Strong C and Unix skills are essential, and kernel development skills are desirable.
Project principal investigators are Calton Pu, Jonathan Walpole, and Andrew Black of the Oregon Graduate Institute, Charles Consel of the University of Rennes, and John McHugh and Tom Schubert of Portland State University. In addition to DARPA support, the project also has a very active collaboration with industrial partners. Details of the Synthetix project can be found in the following web pages: Synthetix web pages.
