Malmö University is offering a doctoral position in Computer Science focused on the lifecycle integration of regulatory continuous compliance. The project addresses how software-intensive companies can meet requirements from emerging regulations such as the EU Data Act, AI Act and Cyber Resilience Act throughout the life of a product, rather than treating compliance as a late-stage checkpoint. The PhD research will investigate how compliance activities—including risk identification, assessment, ...

Lund University’s Department of Computer Science is seeking a doctoral student in computer science to research program transformation and software evolution within the Software Development and Environments division at LTH. The project aims to develop tools and techniques that provide rigid guard-rails for software refactoring and other forms of software evolution. Because program transformations may be produced unreliably by human developers or large language models, the research will investigat...

About this position
PhD project: Cross-organizational continuous compliance
Malmö University is recruiting a doctoral student in Computer Science at the Faculty of Technology and Society. The project examines how organizations can achieve continuous regulatory compliance across software and business ecosystems in which products, services, data and components are supplied by multiple partners, suppliers and customers.
Modern regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act and the EU AI Act, increasingly make companies responsible for risks across their wider chains. However, compliance between organizations is still often managed through questionnaires, documents, audits and email. These manual processes do not scale well when software is developed and released continuously through DevOps practices.
The doctoral research will investigate the challenges experienced by partner companies, how organizations can coordinate compliance across organizational boundaries, and how compliance activities can be automated. A central focus is the role of artificial intelligence in automating tasks that would otherwise remain difficult to automate. The research will explore shared monitoring, automated exchanges of compliance evidence and risk signals, and governance strategies for distributed value and supply chains.
The work is empirical and will be conducted in close collaboration with partner companies, allowing the doctoral student to study practical problems and develop strategies and solutions with direct relevance to regulated software environments. The intended outcomes include coordinated, end-to-end compliance, reduced cascading third-party risks and more effective collaboration across software ecosystems.
The position forms part of the wider Continuous Compliance project and connects with Software Center, a collaboration between software-intensive companies and five Swedish universities. The successful candidate will join a research environment with more than a decade of experience in continuous practices such as CI/CD and DevOps, as well as research on how human expertise and AI capabilities can create new value. Malmö University's Department of Computer Science and Media Technology conducts research in computer science, information systems, software engineering, artificial intelligence and related areas.
The doctoral student will work in an internationally oriented faculty and research environment in collaboration with academic and industrial partners.
