Salary: GBP 36,024 to 41,732 per annum depending on experience

Fixed Term Contract until 30th September 2025

Closing Date: Monday 15th January

This post will work on challenges around decentralized identity and personal data, and approaches across distributed platforms such as Distributed Ledgers.

The Computer Science Research Centre at the University of Surrey is seeking to recruit a full-time researcher to the Surrey Centre for Cyber Security (SCCS). The successful candidate will join the DECaDE Next Stage Digital Economy Centre for the Decentralised Digital Economy (http://decade.ac.uk), a multidisciplinary UKRI-funded Centre with the University of Surrey, the University of Edinburgh, and the Digital Catapult.

The Centre is initially focused on three themes: value co-creation in the digital economy, data trusts for identity and data, and the world of work and the gig economy.

Surrey is recognized by the National Cyber Security Centre as an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research, and offers a thriving research environment with world leading researchers. We were also recognised as Cyber University of the Year 2023 in the National Cyber Awards. Our research includes security and privacy, verification, cryptography, distributed systems, and networked systems.

The position offers the platform for the research fellow to develop skills to become an independent researcher and to contribute to the DECaDE vision. The successful candidate will work within a team under the direction of Professor Steve Schneider. Significant interaction with project partners is encouraged, and the dissemination strategy may involve national and international travel, with many personal development opportunities.
