About this position
Jönköping University is advertising a Postdoc in Computer Science – Cybersecurity within the SAVIOR project: AI-Supported Alert Validation for Industrial SOC Response. The research sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, machine learning, human-centered AI, and security operations center (SOC) workflows.
The project aims to develop AI-supported prototype modules for alert validation and post-incident reporting, helping SOC analysts handle large volumes of alerts more efficiently and consistently. The work focuses on reducing manual communication, improving decision support, and supporting faster, more scalable responses in industrial cybersecurity settings.
The position is shared between the Cybersecurity and Privacy Research Group (CPR) and the Human-Centered Technology Group (HCT) at the School of Engineering, Jönköping University. Researchers named in the project include Erik Bergström, Görkem Kilinc Soylu, and Maria Riveiro.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in Computer Science, Informatics, Cybersecurity, AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a closely related field; strong AI/ML knowledge; research experience in cybersecurity or AI-supported systems; and a strong publication record. Experience with SOCs, alert validation, incident response, explainable AI, anomaly detection, user studies, or industry collaboration is considered meritorious. Good Swedish communication skills are also a plus.
Funding and terms: the appointment is a temporary full-time postdoctoral position for 2 years, starting 2026-10-01 or by agreement. The role includes 80% research and 20% teaching/administrative duties. Collective agreements and individual salary apply.
Application window: apply no later than 2026-08-31. Submit a PDF application with a cover letter, CV, PhD thesis, and certified copies of certificates and diplomas.
