Postdoctoral Researcher in Security and Privacy for AI
We have the strength of over 50,000 students and employees. Students who give hope for the future. Employees who every day contribute to Linköping University tackling the challenges of our time. Our values are based on credibility, trust, and security. By being bold, thinking freely, and creating new things, we together—through great and small actions—build a better future. Welcome to apply for a job with us! We are now seeking a postdoctoral researcher in security and privacy for artificial intelligence (AI) in real-time and society-critical systems. The position is part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) at Linköping University and is located at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI, with a particular focus on security and privacy for AI-based real-time, networked, and safety-critical systems. Your Responsibilities The research will investigate how AI can be designed, implemented, and used in a secure and reliable manner in environments with high demands for real-time performance, robustness, security, and privacy. You will work on challenges at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI, including security in AI and machine learning systems, adversarial attacks, privacy-preserving machine learning, secure and distributed learning, detection and handling of attacks against AI-based systems, and the robustness of AI systems operating in dynamic environments and resource-constrained environments. The research will also consider the interplay between AI security and the underlying communication and computing infrastructure. Depending on research direction, application areas may include aviation and other critical infrastructure, where networked systems must operate securely and reliably with real-time requirements. Solid research experience in cybersecurity, particularly in communication network security, distributed systems, real-time systems, or critical infrastructure, is therefore highly relevant for the position. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will primarily conduct research. Teaching may also be part of your responsibilities, but limited to at most one-fifth of your working time. Your Qualifications To be eligible for employment as a postdoctoral researcher, you must have completed a doctoral degree or have a foreign degree 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 within three years prior to 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 seek candidates with a doctoral degree in computer science, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, or a related field. You should have extensive research experience in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence/machine learning, networked systems, or a related field. You should have a strong publication profile in relevant areas such as cybersecurity, AI/ML, network security, distributed systems, real-time systems, or related areas, with publications in high-quality scientific journals and internationally competitive conferences. Knowledge of and research experience in AI/ML security, including adversarial machine learning, secure or privacy-preserving machine learning, or security in distributed AI systems, is meritorious. Experience with aviation data, communication networks in aviation, or other safety-critical or mission-critical applications is a particular merit. Experience supervising or co-supervising master's level thesis projects, as well as experience contributing to the development of research proposals or research collaborations, is meritorious. Very good knowledge of English, both oral and written, is a requirement. You should be able to work independently and take responsibility for your research, while also being able to collaborate effectively with researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds. We particularly value scientific curiosity, analytical ability, initiative, and the ability to formulate and drive new research questions. Your Workplace The postdoctoral researcher will be employed at the Cybersecurity (CYBER) Division at the Department of Computer and Information Science and will be part of the Trustworthy Systems Group (TSG).
