Scientific programmer on the subject of Internet architecture renovation

Job description

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has a vacancy in the Computer security research group for a talented Scientific Programmer.

Job description
As part of the European Next Generation Internet project, the job is to work on a new architecture for communication over the Internet. This project is a rip-and-replace effort of the BSD-style socket by an innovative abstraction: connectors. Connectors are based on decades of research performed at the CWI. Over the course of at least two years, building further on an existing reference implementation, we will research & develop a distributed and fault-tolerant version of the connector communication mechanism, and will work together with the Internet community on standardization. The development is fully public and open source (EUPL). There is lots of freedom to experiment and do independent research, that could result in the development of compiler optimizations, protocol language extensions, or security features.
