About this position
The Institute of Computer Science at Georg-August-University Göttingen invites applications for a full-time doctoral researcher position in the Computer Security and Privacy Group, led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Delphine Reinhardt. The position offers an interdisciplinary research environment focused on privacy, emerging technologies, and human factors.
The doctoral researcher will conduct independent and collaborative research on privacy in one of several areas. Possible projects address privacy risks in sensitive neuroimaging data; privacy threats in multi-agent and AI-enabled distributed systems; user-centered privacy mechanisms and interaction strategies in pervasive computing; or privacy-preserving approaches for robotics, robot sensing, data collection, and human–robot interaction.
The work combines computer security and privacy with areas such as usable privacy and security, human-computer interaction, human-AI collaboration, interactive systems, distributed systems, machine learning, robotics, and neuroimaging. Depending on the research profile, technical activities may involve mobile devices, machine learning, computer vision, image processing, MRI data analysis, multi-agent frameworks, distributed systems, or AI simulation platforms.
In addition to developing and evaluating technical solutions, the researcher will publish and present results at international conferences and journals, supervise Bachelor's and Master's students, and contribute to teaching and examinations. The group offers a collegial and supportive academic setting with opportunities for professional development, networking, and international collaboration.
