About this position
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, monitoring, decision-making and reporting—can be integrated into software development phases, organizational roles and governance structures. It will also examine how automation and artificial intelligence can support these activities, how compliance responsibilities should be shared across teams and organizational levels, and how architectural and organizational choices affect continuous compliance.
The research is empirical and will use design science research, action research and case studies to explore real-world challenges with industrial partners. The doctoral student will develop empirically grounded frameworks, models and solutions that position compliance as an integrated, value-creating capability. These solutions will be validated in industrial contexts, providing direct practical impact for companies developing complex systems involving hardware, electronics, software, data and AI.
The position forms part of a larger Continuous Compliance project conducted in close collaboration with Software Center. The successful candidate will join a research group with more than a decade of experience studying continuous software practices such as CI/CD and DevOps, as well as continuously evolving systems that combine human expertise and AI capabilities. The work is hosted by the Department of Computer Science and Media Technology within Malmö University's Faculty of Technology and Society, an internationally oriented environment with research spanning computer science, information systems, software engineering and media technology.
