Ledig stilling ved Norsk Regnesentral

2 PhD fellowships (Early-Stage Researchers)

Deadline: 30.04.2020

ESR 7, Norwegian Computing Center (NR), Oslo, Norway:

The Norwegian Computing Center (NR) seeks a research fellow (Early-Stage Researcher pursuing a PhD) to work on the topic of identity provisioning in the cloud. The objective of the work is to study how privacy, security and user experience are affected by design choices when building services that use cloud-based identities. Such choices include what user data to collect, and how and where to process the data and store it.

Topics include secure authentication, security of cloud-based services, formal modelling, advanced data analysis and its effect on privacy, and the relation between privacy, user experience and security. The ESR fellow will study the principles of identity provisioning, enabling sound methods for identity provisioning and authenticating to cloud-based services.

The ESR will be employed by and work at NR in Oslo, but he or she will follow the PhD programme at NTNU Gjøvik. The ESR must fulfill the requirements for admission to the PhD programme.

ESR 11, Norwegian Computing Center (NR), Oslo, Norway:

The Norwegian Computing Center (NR) seeks a research fellow (Early-Stage Researcher pursuing a PhD) to work on the topic of detecting privacy problems in software.

The objective of this work to give an operational definition of the term “privacy defect” and thus enable the semi-automatic detection of privacy-related issues in software. The work will build on previous work on formal specification and on existing tools for property checking and analysis of software. The project shall adapt and extend techniques to discover defects and design flaws related to processing of personal data and privacy policies, including the treatment of biometric information in distributed systems. The work will facilitate the building of tools that help software development organisations write software that complies with data protection regulation (such as the GDRP).

The ESR will be employed by and work at NR in Oslo, but he or she will follow the PhD programme at NTNU Gjøvik. The ESR must fulfill the requirements for admission to the PhD programme.

Starting date: October 2020; duration 36 months.
