or a related field. In addition, the ideal candidate should have substantial
systems programming skills, including knowledge of Windows internals. Strong
Java background a must. Candidates are expected to be capable of working
under limited supervision and should have strong communication skills.  The
successful candidate is expected to publish papers in top-level journals and

conferences along with other faculty and students. The postdoc will work
with professors Lorrie Cranor, Nicolas Christin, Alessandro Acquisti, and
Rahul Telang at Carnegie Mellon.

one to three years. The start date is negotiable, but ideally no later than
October  1, 2012. Carnegie Mellon offers competitive salaries and benefits.
