We are looking for up to three postdoctoral researchers in Computer Science, specializing in Cybersecurity, for a fixed-term position at the School of Science and Technology.

Subject area
The subject area for this position is Computer Science, Cybersecurity.

Background
The postdoctoral researchers will be affiliated with the Department of Computer Science within the School of Science and Technology and will carry on research within the field of cybersecurity. All areas of cybersecurity are of interest. Examples of topics of interest (but not limited to):


• Intersection of cybersecurity and AI, i.e., attacks and defenses leveraging AI solutions, or attacks and defenses within AI solutions (e.g., backdooring, model poisoning, membership inference), cybersecurity of generative AI / LLMs;
• Cyber-physical systems security, e.g., in the fields of robotics, industrial plants, smart grids, automotive, drones, underwater robotics;
• Telecommunications security, e.g., in the fields of 5G/6G, wireless networks, software defined networks (SDNs), and future Internet paradigms, underwater communications, satellite communications;
• Web security and systems security (e.g., remote attestation);
• User authentication and usable security (e.g., biometrics, CAPTCHA);
• Privacy (e.g., information inference);
• Intersection between regulatory and technical aspects (EU NIS-2 Directive), e.g., compliance optimization and automatization.

The postdoctoral researchers will belong to the graduate school within the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). WASP is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems. The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish society and industry.
