Enriching security data.

Modern digital forensic analysis uses various tools and heterogeneous sources of information. Data rates are very high, data formats are different and it is very difficult to find relationships in data that would be relevant for the investigation. The goal of the project is to propose new methods of so-called enriching data - various labels/descriptors of relationships are added to a data set before further processing/combining with other data sources. This may speed-up the overall efficiency of the investigation. Machine learning and pattern recognition techniques can be used in the process of data enriching.

We are looking for a candidate possessing skills related to machine learning and pattern recognition, data science, exact and approximate search, information security in general and computer intrusion detection in particular, interested in solving problems of enriching large quantities of security data.

Qualifications required for the announced position

Startup in the post-doctoral fellowship requires:

• A completed doctoral degree in information security, computer science, mathematics or education of an equivalent level.
• High motivation for research work and ability to work independently.
• Good organizational and communication skills with interest in wider context of own research and ability to engage in cross-disciplinary teams.
• Eagerness to disseminate research results through publications and presentations at international conferences. 
• Written and oral fluency in English.

If the applicant's mother tongue is not English or a Scandinavian language, and the PhD Degree is not from an English speaking country it is necessary to provide a proof of English skills.
