Please, distribute this announcement for PhD scholarship among your colleagues and students.
Thanks in advance, Mariano PhD Scholarship Available Software Engineering (SE) research unit Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy The Software Engineering (SE) research unit (http://se.fbk.eu), part of the Center for Information Technology (CIT) of the Bruno Kessler Foundation in Trento, Italy (http://cit.fbk.eu/), is seeking prospective PhD students interested in undertaking their PhD research in the following area. Security testing of mobile applications In order to win the race against competitors, mobile applications for tablets and smart-phones are often developed with fast time-to-market approach. For this reason, development effort is often committed to deliver novel and engaging features and less attention is devoted in reviewing the quality of the code. As a result applications are released that still contain defects, faults and potential security problem. Novel approaches need to be elaborated to automate the testing phase of mobile applications, with a particular attention to security aspects, as a fundamental support to ensure both high quality and fast development model. This includes the elaboration of novel techniques for identification of potential security defects, for automatic test case generation and for developing an oracle to assess whether the system under analysis passes all the brand new test cases. The research activities will take place at FBK-SE (http://se.fbk.eu/), the Software Engineering research unit within Fondazione Bruno Kessler. Selected candidates, if not already enrolled in a PhD Program, will be invited to apply for PhD position at a national PhD School. HOW TO APPLY: Interested candidates should apply by sending email to [email protected] with a Curriculum Vitae. (PDF format is strongly encouraged). Emails should have 'SE/phd' as subject.
