Can I get a Reverse Engineering PhD?

You can study molecular biology and become an expert at reverse-engineering the most amazing machines in existence.

Though the Kinect is apparently a lot more tractable.

I've been writing some code for people working in bioinformatics recently. It's pretty similar.

I've looked into this a bit. There are three programs that I'm aware of:

The BitBlaze project at UC Berkeley. http://bitblaze.cs.berkeley.edu/

There's also http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/amk/ which offers a PhD studentship in "Reverse Engineering for Security."

CERIAS at Purdue will definitely have some RE related courses, e.g. http://www.cerias.purdue.edu/site/projects/detail/malware_re...
