Our lab is always recruiting talented, motivated students! In general, if you are interested in applying for a position or research opprotunity, please fill out the lab’s application form, all applicants will be reviewed, and if a good match exists, we’ll reach out to you!

Why Study at ASU?

ASU has one of the strongest computer security groups in the nation. We have over 14 faculty that specialize in computer securtity spanning everything from cryptography and binary analysis to machine learning security and security education. Our courses are awesome, and we promote an friendly and supportive work culture.

Prospective PhD Students

We’re hiring for several PhD students! If you are interested in joining the lab please:

  1. Submit an application to ASU’s PhD program and note that you are interested in working with Jaron Mink in the application.
  2. Submit a corresponding application through the Happy Lab (ASU’s system can quite slow and this will help Jaron get back to you much quicker).

Current ASU Masters and Undergraduates

We’re always happy to connect with students who are interested in leading or collaborating on publishable research. We prefer to bring students into the group early in their program so there’s a possibility of a long-term collaboration if the fit is right. These projects often take around 1–2 years from start to publication, so once you’ve had a chance to learn about the project and decide it’s the right match, we ask for a minimum commitment of about 6 months to ensure you can make a meaningful contribution.

External Masters and Undergraduates

If you’re interested in spending a summer at ASU, we also host external students for two month internships through the SURI Program. Consider applying!

Post-docs

The best way to do this would be to flag Jaron down at a conference you’re both at and chat!
