Position 4:

Methodologies and tools in digital forensics.

Digital evidence is becoming ubiquitous in criminal investigations. This evidence progressively derive from more diverse sources and in greater volume. Data from such sources must typically be collected, logged, correlated, and analyzed, both manually and using software tools, in order to identify and appropriately present evidence relevant to the investigation, i.e., information fusion. Investigators must continuously adapt, improve and diversify their methodology as well their use of said tools.

We are looking for a strong candidate committed to evaluating current methodology and tools for criminal investigations involving digital evidence with respect to their effectivity, responsiveness, and correctness. The evaluation is to be followed by novel improvements to existing, and development of new, methodology and tools. A strong focus on the continuously developing legal framework for such investigations is required.
