About this position

Linköping University is seeking a PhD student in the Department of Computer and Information Science, within the Cybersecurity (CYBER) division. The project focuses on developing and evaluating new privacy-preserving methods for immersive and network-based systems.

The doctoral research combines method development and analysis with practical implementation and experimental evaluation. The successful candidate will work on challenging problems in cybersecurity and privacy protection, with an emphasis on methods that can be studied theoretically and tested in practice. The advert also highlights connections to computer networks, performance evaluation, multimedia systems, and applied data analysis within the broader research environment.

The position is supervised by Professor Niklas Carlsson and is embedded in a research team of PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and senior scientists. The group works in an internationally recognized environment and collaborates with researchers in Sweden and abroad, including partners in the United States. Research outputs are expected to appear at leading international conferences and in scientific journals.

The post is based in a large and broad computer science department with strong research and education across fundamental and applied computing. The environment is described as supportive, international, and designed to help doctoral students develop into independent researchers.

Funding details

Doctoral salary according to a locally agreed salary scale; position is normally full-time for four years, extendable up to five years depending on teaching and departmental duties.

What's required

A second-cycle degree in computer science, computer engineering, information technology, software engineering, electrical engineering or a closely related field, or completion of at least 240 higher education credits including at least 60 credits at advanced level in a relevant area, or equivalent knowledge. Strong technical background, good analytical ability, and good programming skills are required, along with a genuine interest in research in cybersecurity and privacy. Good ability to communicate in English, spoken and written, is required. Merit is given for experience or knowledge in cybersecurity, privacy protection or network security; machine learning, data analysis, statistical modelling or algorithm development; computer networks, distributed systems or performance evaluation; practical systems development, experimental measurements or research-oriented programming; and privacy-preserving techniques such as traffic-analysis resistance, homomorphic encryption or privacy-preserving machine learning.
