The research environment Embedded Systems at Mälardalen University (MDH) announce a PhD-student position in Computer Science. Embedded Systems is the nationally leading center in embedded-system research and internationally known for the ability to combine the highest academic standard with industrially relevant research. ES provides a stimulating international research environment, characterized by its cooperative atmosphere, openness, and team spirit - a great environment for a researcher to grow in; with a mix of established and young researchers. The environment contains over 200 researchers.

Position description
The SSF-funded framework-project Serendipity is announcing two postdoc-positions in cyber-security for safety-critical embedded systems.

In Serendipity, we will develop new technologies and a platform for safety-critical connected cyber-physical systems. Our work will leverage existing techniques for dependable systems and augment these with scalable security solutions for open and heterogeneous systems.

The security solutions sought for in Serendipity need to be scalable and adapted to an open environment where heterogenous services, applications and users vary over time, but remain safely and securely connected through interconnected dependable1 platforms.

The goals of Serendipity include:

• Identification of assets and vulnerabilities common to networked cyber-physical systems operating in open environments. Implementation of remedies and countermeasures, taking into account the requirements on timeliness and continuity of service.
• Developing an ontological-based risk-analysis method, to identify security threats and their impacts on safety in a system-of-systems, addressing dependability. As well as developing tool support for the requirement analysis to facilitate industrial use.
• Devising actor-based, time-aware, compositional analysis techniques and tools to address dependability by formal verification. The techniques are based on a modelling approach that focus on assets and vulnerabilities, can capture heterogeneity and openness of the system, support dynamic adaptation of the system, and can cope with scalability.

The successful applicant will have an opportunity to shape his/her own research agenda within the overall project's scope, working independently but also collaboratively with other colleagues within Serendipity.

The position includes possibilities for both disciplinary research within the topics mentioned and collaborative system-oriented research and implementation in the project's two demonstrators (one in avionics and one in autonomous vehicles).

The positions are temporary employments for two years.

Qualification requirements
The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in Computer science, Computer engineering, Electric engineering, or equivalent. In particular, the applicant should have a background in either cyber-security, safety critical systems, and/or cyber-physical systems.

The position requires a strong motivation for research, good verbal and written communication skills in English.

Decisive importance is attached to personal suitability. We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organization.

Merit
An interest to apply academic knowledge and to do research in cooperation with industrial partners as well as experience from working in projects that involve achieving both academic and industrial related goals.

A background that closely relates to one or more of the three goals above will be a strong merit. The applicant should in the application explain how his/her competence matches these goals.

Application
Application is made online. Make your application by clicking the "Apply" button below.

The applicant is responsible for ensuring that the application is complete in accordance with the advertisement and will reach the University no later than closing date for application.

We look forward to receiving your application.
