* Three-year postdoc position in machine learning for cybersecurity
* Location: School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, UK
* Deadline for application: 3rd of January, 2017
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The EPSRC-funded Northern Cloud Cybercrime Centre at Newcastle
University seeks to understand the different types of criminal behaviour
that can be facilitated by the Cloud and then build systems that will
allow the detection of such crimes and the collection of digital
evidence to lead to the prosecution of Cloud-based criminals. The centre
is an inter-disciplinary research endeavour leveraging the strengths of
Newcastle, Durham and Leeds Universities in areas of computer security,
machine learning, psychology, criminology, law and ethics.
The role of this post is to execute the machine learning agenda of the
centre with focus on developing methods for predicting instances of
cloud crime and the use of knowledge extraction techniques to transform
and explain these predictions to collect evidence for their possible
prosecution. You should have a PhD or equivalent (or close to
completion) in machine learning and its applications with very strong
machine learning delivery and project management skills.
The successful applicant for this post should have a skill set covering
most of the following:
- Strong machine learning experience and proficiency in the state of the
art data science languages (e.g. R, python)
- Information visualisation
- Familiarity with High Performance Computing environments (e.g. HPC
clusters, GPUs, Cloud resources)
- Experience in working in highly interdisciplinary environments
- Good written and oral communication skills
- Ability to work both as part of a team and independently
- Ability to work under strict deadlines
This post is available fixed term for 3 years.
