The Cybersecurity Lab at Montana State University is searching for several PhD students
Position is open for those interested in developing novel techniques in program analysis,
formal methods, and/or machine learning for automating portions of the vulnerability
discovery process and reasoning over vulnerabilities in computer systems. These positions
are fully funded, tuition waivers and a research stipend are provided, and students
will work with Dr. Matt Revelle and other members of the lab.
Familiarity with some of the following topics is relevant but not required: software
vulnerabilities, vulnerability research, reverse engineering, emulation, data-flow
analysis, type systems, constraint solvers, symbolic execution, abstract interpretation,
graph neural networks, and large language models. This position will support learning
any of these topics and others needed to advance the state of the art. If you are
interested in this research area, please do apply, regardless of your prior experience
with these topics.
Current and prospective students interested in this research area are encouraged to
contact Dr. Matt Revelle for additional information. Dr. Revelle's email address is matthew.revelle@montana.edu.
