Örebro University and the School of Science and Technology are looking for up to three doctoral students for the doctoral programme in Computer Science, concluding with a doctoral degree.
Position description
The PhD students will be affiliated with the Department of Computer Science 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.
