Experience and knowledge of best practice in industry and public sector on the intake, contribution, collaboration and compliance of open source technologies is also of particular interest for the position.
The following non-exhaustive list shows areas of expertise and abilities which are of particular interest for the position:
Ph.D., or extensive experience, in a relevant field of research.
Important areas: software supply-chain security, cyber security, collaborative software engineering, open source software, open source AI, open data, open source hardware.
Knowledge of how regulatory frameworks governing, e.g., digital services, interoperability, data governance, data sharing, data protection, AI, and cybersecurity interplay with and affect the adoption and role of open technologies in industry and society.
Experience and knowledge of open technology adoption and development practices.
Experience in working on research projects with private and public entities.
Experience in project management and securing funding for research projects.
An interest in adopting experiences in standardization, sharing, and collaboration of open source technologies in areas such as transport, automotive and logistics
