Your Responsibilities
WASP is a 5-year multidisciplinary and national project funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems, and Software https://wasp-sweden.org/ program, where the postdoctoral researcher will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers in cybersecurity, networks, AI planning, and cloud systems, both within our institution and at other universities in Sweden.
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will primarily conduct research. Teaching may also be part of your responsibilities, but at most one-fifth of your working time.
Your Qualifications
To be eligible for employment as a postdoctoral researcher, you must have a doctoral degree or hold a foreign degree that is assessed as equivalent to a doctoral degree. Your degree must be completed by the time the employment decision is made.
It is meritorious if your degree was completed no more than three years before the application deadline for this position. If there are special reasons, it may be considered if the doctoral degree was completed earlier, for example due to various types of statutory leave.

We also believe that you have excellent publications in journals and high-ranked conferences in areas relevant to the work, namely network modeling and protocol emulation in virtualized platforms, security analysis, threat vectors against AI and defense mechanisms in this context, intrusion detection, load balancing in edge networks, or denial-of-service attacks. Previous experience in developing security mechanisms, virtual test beds, application of AI or statistical methods for load monitoring or performance adaptation, as well as anomaly detection are particularly meritorious.
You are excellent at oral and written communication in English, and are capable of working with other team members as well as performing independent work. Communication with industrial partners in the AIR2 project often takes place in Swedish, which makes knowledge of Swedish meritorious.
Your Workplace
You will work at the Cybersecurity Division (CYBER) at https://liu.se/organisation/liu/ida at Linköping University. Your research will be conducted together with Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, Professor in reliable systems and networks, within the Trustworthy Systems research group.
