Open Positions: We currently have open PhD positions (fully funded) in the fields of Peer-to-Peer networking and Social Networking Services. Please feel free to contact me directly via email if you are interested!

The Peer to Peer Networking Group at TU Darmstadt (Germany) is currently offering fully funded PhD student positions.

We are working on decentralized distributed systems (Peer to Peer, opportunistic-/ disruption tolerant networks) with a special focus on their robustness to failure and their resilience to denial of service attacks. The search for new application domains in which these concepts can help to improve services constantly drives us to tackle new fields and their problems with flexibility. Some current examples from our research comprise of cloud computing, emergency first response, as well as secure and privacy preserving online social networks, on which we are working at the moment. More information about us can be found at our website: www.p2p.tu-darmstadt.de

You have recently and very successfully received a degree in computer science, mathematics, physics or a related field. You have strong practical and analytical skills and strong knowledge in networks, distributed systems, and/or network security. Very good English skills are a prerequisite. Basic knowledge of the German language will help in the day-to-day life but is not necessarily needed.

The positions are available and the candidates can start immediately.

Please send your application comprising of a motivational letter, your cv, certificates and references to:

Thorsten Strufe, Peer-to-Peer Networking Group, Hochschulstraße 10, 64289 Darmstadt or by Email to: strufe@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de
