Abertay is a modern university with a global outlook, rooted in its local and national communities. We have made our mark with high quality, well-directed teaching and research, and a stimulating and enriching experience for our students.

Abertay's Security, Equality and Social Justice Research and Knowledge Exchange (RKE) challenge space brings together and develops expertise across the University on issues such as cybersecurity, privacy, data protection, regulation, and governance; human-centred cybersecurity; cyber-dependent and cyber-enabled crimes, criminals, and victims; and ethical hacking. We work with businesses, local and national government, police, third sector, and academic researchers from across the world to develop research that helps protect infrastructures, devices, data, businesses and citizens and enable resilience.

The Researchers will be central to the development of the challenge space research and will make a strong contribution to the intellectual and practical development of cybersecurity at the University. They will each be based within Abertay cyberQuarter, working closely with the Director (Professor Lynne Coventry), the challenge leads, and each other to develop and enable world-leading research and innovation within the challenge space.

The posts will be associated with the following research areas:

  • Cybersecurity innovation and technology including malware detection, IOT, security, network intrusion and digital forensics
  • Cyber-crime and online harms
  • Human centred, usable and inclusive cybersecurity

More detail on the role of the Researchers can be found in the job description.

Your excellent communication and interpersonal skills also equip you to develop strong working relationships with a wide range of cyberQuarter stakeholders and partners, from academia, business, government, and law enforcement.

Candidates shortlisted for interview will be asked to outline their research aspirations in a plan covering the next three years (assuming 50% time on own research), how they map onto Abertay's Interdisciplinary Challenge Space and pooled excellence areas encapsulated in Abertay's RKE Strategy. Applicants should include any plans for work involving non-academic partners if relevant. All successful applicants will be part of the cyberQuarter.

The posts are full-time and funded for three years from October 2024 (an earlier start may be possible).
