About this position
The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program, is seeking a Research Associate at the Master’s or PhD level to advance the field of Digital Content Integrity. This opportunity is ideal for candidates passionate about the intersection of media processing, security standards, and digital watermarking technologies. The research will focus on evaluating the robustness of digital watermarks in various media formats, including image, video, and audio, and developing frameworks for benchmarking their effectiveness against attacks such as compression, cropping, and noise.
Key responsibilities include conducting comprehensive literature surveys on state-of-the-art watermarking, designing and implementing transformation pipelines to test watermark resilience, drafting evaluation roadmaps for future benchmarking at NIST, and prototyping detection scenarios using Python or MATLAB. The position is best suited for individuals with a background in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields, and a strong interest in Digital Media Security, Cryptography, or Multimedia Forensics.
Applicants must be at the postgraduate level (Master’s or PhD, current or completed) and possess technical skills in Python, MATLAB, or image/audio processing tools. Eligibility for a Department of Commerce background check is required for facility access. The position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the future of digital content verification and security standards in a collaborative academic and federal research environment.
