Assistant professor with a specialisation in cybersecurity

The Department of Computer Science and Informatics offers academic programmes in subjects ranging from software engineering and

embedded systems to user experience design and cybersecurity, and conducts research in associated areas. Our education programmes

are developed in close collaboration with the surrounding industry and have an annual intake of approximately 300 students. In our

department, we have two research groups, Human-Centred Technology (HCT) and Cybersecurity and Privacy (CPR). The HCT group focuses

on designing, developing, and evaluating technologies that make our lives easier and better, always with the end user in mind. The

CPR group focuses on making cybersecurity and privacy work for organisations and individuals. For more information about our

department and research groups, visit the Department of Computer Science and Informatics (switch to the Swedish version for all

cybersecurity. You will be part of the team that teaches in our cybersecurity programmes (bachelor's and master's) and conduct

research in the Cybersecurity and Privacy Research (CPR) research group. Our research areas primarily focus on the human,

organisational, and strategic aspects of cybersecurity and privacy. In your application, we would like you to describe how you

envision contributing to our research environment. For more information about the CPR group, visit the Cybersecurity and Privacy

Research page. JOB DESCRIPTION Before you apply, we would like you to take a moment to get to know us. Have a look at our website,

projects and funding we develop together. Academic life here requires initiative, creativity, and a willingness to help shape your

own opportunities. What we can offer What we can offer is a group of colleagues who enjoy working together and who believe that

ongoing projects, and many ideas for new ones. Most importantly, we offer an environment where you can build something of your

own. If you have the ambition to develop research, education, collaborations, or entirely new initiatives, you will find

colleagues who are willing to support you and help make things happen. QUALIFICATIONS You should have a PhD in the relevant area
