Leeds School of Business at University of Colorado—Boulder invites applications for its Ph.D. program in Operations Management for Fall 2016 admissions. At least two positions are available. The ideal candidate should have a solid background in optimization, linear programming, integer programming and analysis of algorithms. Proficiency in a computer programming language (C, C++, Java, python or Matlab) is preferred. 

Admitted students receive a full tuition waiver, a partial waiver of student health insurance costs, and stipend as long as they are in good standing with the department. Students work approximately 20 hours per week as research and/or teaching assistants in return for support. The 2015-2016 stipend is $25,000 for the nine-month academic year. Summer research fellowships are also available. While the continuation of financial aid is contingent on satisfactory performance, most students are funded for four years. Students may request a fifth year of funding. Fifth-year funding decisions are based a combination of factors including available funds, the student's progress in the program, and the division's support of the student. Further details about the program can be found at: http://www.colorado.edu/business/academic-programs/phd-program

All students enrolled in the program stand out for their talent and great
potential, thanks to highly competitive entrance examinations. A third of
the freshmen had won prizes at the All-Russian Mathematical Olympiad for
high school students (the oldest and most reputable nationwide competition
in the country). In 2015, SPbAU had a highest average USE (Unified State
Exam) score among all Russian universities.

*Requirements*

Assistant professors:


- Ph.D. degree (Cand. Sci. for candidates from Russia and CIS countries)
- At least three publications in the last five years listed at
MathSciNet/DBLP

modeling
and analysis of security. The position is within the project entitled
"Attack-Defense Trees for Computer Security: Formal Modeling of
Preventive and
Reactive Countermeasures".

Description of work
---------------------
Attack-defense trees constitute a methodology to represent how an attacker
may compromise a system and how a defender can protect it against potential
attacks. The project's objective is to increase the expressive power of
attack-defense trees by integrating reactive countermeasures into the
formalism.
The main tasks of the Ph.D. student will be to
- Develop mathematical foundations for attack-defense trees distinguishing
between protective and reactive countermeasures;
- Propose quantitative evaluation techniques for attack-defense trees with
protective and reactive countermeasures;
- Validate the extended model in real-life case studies performed in
collaboration
with industry;
- Co-supervise master students.

A detailed description of the thesis topic is available at
http://people.irisa.fr/Barbara.Kordy/vacancies.php

Candidate's profile
--------------------
The candidate is expected to have:
- A Master degree in computer science or mathematics;
- A proven interest in formal methods and formal modeling;
- Excellent written and oral English skills.

Background in computer security will be a plus. Knowledge of French is
not required.

Work environment
-----------------
We offer a three year appointment funded by the French Ministry of Higher
Education and Research. The successful candidate will participate in the
activities of the Embedded Security and Cryptography (EMSEC) research team
(http://www.irisa.fr/emsec/) co-led by Prof. Dr. Gildas Avoine and Prof.
Dr.

Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) within 3 hours.

Application
---------------
Applications should be written in English and include the following
documents:
- Motivation letter clearly explaining the candidate's interest in the
proposed
topic and his/her fit to the position;
