Research Fellow: Privacy and Mobile Computing
Department of Computing (Centre for Research in Computing)
The Open University (Ref: 4758)
GBP 27,466 - GBP32,796 (subject to inflation increase from October
2008)
3 year contract available from 1 September 2008
Applications will be considered from 13 June 2008, until the position is
filled.
Privacy Rights Management in Mobile Applications (PRIMMA) is a major new
three year research project funded by the EPSRC that will investigate
privacy in mobile computing. The research fellow, based at the Open
University, will work as part of a team comprising researchers at the
Open
University, University of Bath, Imperial College London and IBM. The
research fellow will conduct research that both investigates users'
current
requirements in terms of mobile privacy, and that also asks fundamental
questions about the nature of privacy, trust, social interaction and
human
relations in the context of mobile social networking.
We are looking for candidates who display the talent, creativity, and
enthusiasm necessary to perform outstanding research into privacy that
will
make a difference - to ask original, concrete questions and to adopt
incisive methodologies for exploring them, in order to help positively
shape
the development of pervasive, location-aware mobile systems, and those
whose
lives are affected by it.
Applicants should have (or expect to receive by September 2008) a
Masters
level degree (ideally a PhD) in a relevant subject (e.g. human-computer
interaction, software engineering, computer science, information
systems,
psychology, communication studies), and an interest in privacy,
security,
social networks or pervasive and mobile computing.
For further details about the position, contact the project principal
investigator, Professor Bashar Nuseibeh: B.Nuseibeh@.... Informal
enquiries
are encouraged. A 'Further Particulars' document elaborating on the
project
and the post is available (see link below)
Applications should include a completed application form, a CV, and a
cover
letter/research statement explaining the candidate's suitability for
the
position. Applications should be sent electronically to Professor Bashar
Nuseibeh and copied to mct-recruitment@... .
Disabled applicants who meet the essential job requirements will be
interviewed. Further particulars are available in large print, disk or
audiotape (minicom +44 1908 654901).
We promote diversity in employment and welcome applications from all
sections of the community.
