PhD Opportunities in Cybersecurity in Spain

This PhD project sits within an NWO-funded study on how organisations can build positive cybersecurity solutions by learning from what already works well. Rather than focusing on failures, the project asks what successful organisations do differently across the individual, team, and organisational levels to prevent cyber incidents or reduce their impact. The advertised PhD position concentrates on the organisational level of that broader research question. The selected candidate will carry out e...

The Open University’s School of Computing and Communications is offering two PhD research opportunities at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital forensics, supervised by Adrian Winckles. The first project, Forging the Evidence , investigates whether generative AI can create unique, fair and consistently difficult digital forensics case scenarios for university students, police first responders and continuing professional development cohorts. The research will exp...

This PhD position at Linköping University is based in the Cybersecurity (CYBER) division within the Department of Computer and Information Science. The project addresses the security of decentralized, digitalized critical infrastructure, especially electric power systems with many remotely controlled distributed energy resources such as solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicle chargers. The research goal is to develop trustworthy AI-supported methods that help critical infrastructure assess...
