Teddington, Greater London, United Kingdom NPL Full time
Research Opportunity in Building Security and Resilience

We are seeking up to 5 fully funded PhD candidates to contribute to advanced research in building security and resilience in a digitalised world. This research is part of a partnership led academically by the Universities of Surrey and Strathclyde and supported by the Surrey-Strathclyde NPL strategic partnership and industry partners.

About the Project

The world is becoming increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Our Critical Infrastructure is becoming increasingly dependent on digital technologies, introducing new strengths and vulnerabilities. Research will focus on achieving resilience in critical infrastructure systems, maintaining their ability to function across digital, physical, and human aspects in the face of change, disruption, and attack.

Key Research Areas
  • Resilience-by-design
  • Understanding, modelling, and managing complexity
  • Planning for uncertainty and risk
  • Cyber resilience
  • Trustworthiness and measurement
  • The use of data, digital tools, and AI
What We Offer

Students will join a multidisciplinary cohort of up to 10 students across the Universities of Surrey and Strathclyde. They will develop their PhD projects in conjunction with the supervisory team and industry partners as part of their initial foundational training. This includes training in resilience-building and multi-disciplinary team challenge projects, with the aim of establishing a "resilience mindset" in students – the ability to be self-directed, generate questions, solve complex problems, collaborate across traditional silos, and continuously learn and adapt.

Our industry stakeholders will provide access to facilities across a range of sectors, including communication, timing, power, and transport.
