I am looking for motivated PhD students to join the DefMal group (https://www.pepr-cybersecurite.fr/projet/defmal/) at LORIA (https://www.loria.fr/en/) located at LORIA, Nancy, France. The topic of the
PhD project is quite flexible but should relate to my current research directions in malware. Here possible directions are reverse engineering, function similarities, malware detection, etc.
LORIA is one of the main French Computer Science research laboratories in the lively city of Nancy. LORIA is a joint CNRS, Inria research institution and the Université de Lorraine. LORIA strives to provide a family-friendly work environment hosting researchers from more than 50 countries. LORIA is devoted
to cutting-edge research in computer science and technology transfer and one of the major academic cybersecurity research institutes in France. High-Security Lab provides a unique cybersecurity and malware research platform with several fruitful collaborations and opportunities.
Studentships are open to home and international students and are fully funded for three years by the five-year national DefMal project (PEPR Cybersecurity,France 2030). In addition, the research group provides funding for attending conferences.
