Belfast, United Kingdom QUEENS UNIVERSITY BELFAST Full time

Application closing date: 20/05/2024
Salary: £32,024 per annum
Job category/type: Research

The School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EEECS) at Queen’s University Belfast, is currently seeking to recruit a Research Assistant to be a highly productive, ambitious, and collaborative member of the Advanced Research and Engineering Centre within Northern Ireland.

The postholder will explore operable cyber security risks in business processes over a complex network covering multiple data sources dealing with classical, quantum and post-quantum threats.

Depending on the type of data, the complexity of the porting software, and the dependencies between the data, these data sources may have synchronous, asynchronous, or both characteristics. The business networks make decisions based on these inputs and are susceptible to error due to the data's multiple interconnections. As a result of the associated complexities and interdependence of the data points, several cyber security risks are frequently overlooked when a model of operations is so intricate. The Research Assistant will help develop novel security solutions, particularly model security, authentication, and authorisation.

The successful candidate must have, and your application should clearly demonstrate that you meet the following criteria:

1 Honours Degree (or equivalent) in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. Recent relevant experience to include: Research experience in at least one of the following: cyber risk assessment, AI-model security, authentication. Demonstrable experience of: - software development at the systems (preferably (but not limited to) C/C++/Python/Java/C#).

Please note the above are not an exhaustive list. For further information about the role including the essential and desirable criteria, click on the 'Candidate Information' link below.

This post is available on a fixed term contract for 21 months, or available until 31/03/2026, whichever is sooner. Fixed term contract posts are available for the stated period in the first instance but in particular circumstances may be renewed or made permanent subject to availability of funding.
