Applications are invited for a fixed-term post-doctoral researcher position (Security in Cyber Physical Systems) at University College Cork, Ireland. The position is within the the Security Group in the Department of Computer Science in conjunction with the recently established CONNECT Research Centre. The researcher will be part of the IRC/Chist-ERA programme funded project DYPOSIT: Dynamic Policies for Shared Cyber-Physical Infrastructures Under Attack. This project is being undertaken in collaboration with the Lancaster University, UK and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.

DYPOSIT will investigate the problem of large, shared cyber physical systems under attack. The project will consider the challenge of dynamically formulating and adapting security controls, rapidly and on-demand, in the face of unfolding attacks on a shared cyber physical system fabric integrating multiple applications run by a variety of stakeholders. The Post-Doctoral Researcher will primarily contribute to the development and implementation of a distributed security model for cyber physical systems in which trade-offs between threats, controls and other constraints, can be reasoned about in managing security policy deployment.
