The positions are supported by the new European Research Council (ERC) project NetVolution, which seeks to improve the security and reliability of the Internet routing system based on SDN principles (and in particular SDN logical centralization at the inter-domain level). NetVolution provides funding for five years to conduct research on Internet routing, software-defined networks, security, and Internet measurements. We collaborate closely with several institutes and in particular with the groups of Prof. Bernhard Plattner in ETH Zurich and Dr. Kc Claffy in the University of California San Diego (CAIDA).

In addition, we offer possibilities for short visits, e.g., in the groups of our collaborators.
