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.

Applications are invited from those with a PhD qualification and publications in a directly relevant area. Applicants with a background in Computer Security and who are interested in developing research experience in cyber-physcial systems, or applicants with background in the modeling and reasoning about systems/networks and are interested in developing research experience in cyber-physcial systems security, are also invited to apply.

Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr. Simon Foley, Department of Computer Science, University College Cork, Ireland (http://security.ucc.ie/foley).

Closing data is March 4, 2016. More information, post requirements and application details at:
