Postdoc position in Secure Distributed AI Systems

Deadline: 31 January 2027 (CET)

This Postdoc position is fully funded by WASP for 2 years, with a planned start in August 2027 (negotiable).

AI training and inference are moving beyond single data centers, onto wide-area networks that no single party controls, and the defenses these systems need do not exist yet. In this postdoc, you will build your own research line on securing distributed AI against network-based threats: designing defenses with precise guarantees and showing that they work on real systems. You will work closely with our PhD students, who study the attacks your defenses must stop, and supervise MSc theses that seed your own research agenda.

We welcome candidates with a background in security, networking, distributed systems, formal methods, or applied cryptography. No prior work on AI is required.

Reach out to Muoi if you are interested.
