Job Posting
The Department of Electrical and Information Technology at LTH is recruiting an Assistant Professor in Computer Security.
The position is funded within the framework of a special initiative on cybersecurity from the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program. This means that, in addition to funding for the Assistant Lecturer position, full funding is provided for doctoral positions associated with the new position. The new Assistant Lecturer is expected to actively participate in the supervision of these doctoral students and, once docent competence is achieved, take on the main supervisory role. Additionally, funding is provided for two postdoctoral positions for two years each within the employment. The new Assistant Lecturer is expected to be responsible for developing profiles and recruiting for these two positions.
The subject of the position encompasses methods and principles for protecting data in safety-critical applications, as well as protection against overload attacks and the maintenance of personal privacy. There are significant challenges in researching how machine learning can be used to attack traditional computer systems, but also to create new principles for protecting systems, making them more robust, and, not least, automating security architectures and protection systems.
Work duties include:
- Research within the subject area,
- Teaching in the first, second and third cycles of studies,
- Supervision of degree projects and doctoral students,
- Actively seeking external research funding,
- Collaboration with industry and wider society.
- Recruitment of researchers and building up a research group,
- Administration related to the work duties listed above.
