Jobbnorge ID: 127112

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Gjøvik  (NTNU, https://www.ntnu.edu/gjovik )  invites applications for four Ph.D. research fellows in digital and computational forensics. The positions are based at the Norwegian Information Security Laboratory (NISlab, www.nislab.no) and are also affiliated with the Center for Cyber and Information Security (CCIS, www.ccis.no).

 

The Ph.D. positions are funded by the Ars Forensica project on "Computational Forensics for Large-scale Fraud Detection, Crime Investigation and Prevention" under a grant by the Research Council of Norway (https://testimon.ccis.no/research/projects/arsforensica/)

The period of employment for the positions as a Ph.D. research fellow is initially for 3 years, which can be extended to four years by including a 25% position as special investigator at one of the digital forensics units that are partners in the research project. Working as a special investigator includes crime scene digital forensics, investigation of traditional crimes with digital evidence, as well as cyber crimes.

 

All successful candidates must be able to secure a residence and work permit in Norway. In the case of working as a special investigator, the candidate must be able to attain the necessary security clearance, must not have criminal record and must be a Norwegian citizen.

The university is committed to a policy of equal opportunity in employment practices, and we would particularly like to encourage female candidates to apply. Admission to a doctoral degree program is a requirement for employment as a Ph.D. research fellow.

The positions are briefly described below. For further details please refer to the detailed position descriptions that is published online (https://testimon.ccis.no/career/job/)

 

 

Position 2:

Situational awareness and resilience to obfuscation

 

The development of scientific methods and computational-intelligent techniques for targeting online cybercriminals is important, since as cybercrime tools and services become more available and easier to access. Internet Forensics consists of investigative tools and techniques concerned with the analysis of communication and data on the Internet for the purpose of gathering information, insight and legal evidence. The versatile camouflage of the real nature of the targeted data and information represents a concrete challenge during the investigation.

 

We are looking for a strong candidate with a solid background in information security and vulnerability assessment to assist in gathering data from the clear and dark net.

 

For further information please see the detailed position description (https://testimon.ccis.no/career/job/), or contact Professor Katrin Franke (katrin.franke (at) ntnu.no) or Associate Professor Stefan Axelsson (stefan.axelsson (at) ntnu.no).
