Position Summary
The University at Buffalo’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering is seeking a motivated individual to join Dr. Marina Blanton’s secure multi-party computation compiler research project. Secure multi-party computation permits computing on private data residing in different domains without disclosing any information about the private inputs beyond the computation output. Dr. Blanton’s group has built a source-to-source translator, called PICCO, for transforming a conventional program, where variables storing private data are annotated as such, into a secure multi-party protocol that realizes the corresponding functionality. The goal of the current project is to make the compiler extensible and incorporate additional features such as, e.g., a web-based user interface. The project provides an exposure to multiple computer science areas (cryptography, compilers, performance optimization, multi-threading, and input processing in the browser) which are combined together in an exciting research and development project. Familiarity with secure multi-party computation is not required, but would be beneficial.
While most of the work can be performed remotely, the candidate needs to be able to meet in Buffalo on a recurrent basis. This position is for approximately 20 months.
Key Responsibilities:
Working at UB comes with benefits that exceed salary alone. There are personal rewards including comprehensive health and retirement plan options.
