[IRIS] Fully funded PhD positions in Software Engineering for Cloud Computing and Information Security

[Moutaz Haddara]

Dear Colleagues,
We are looking for English-speaking, skilled, and motivated PhD candidates for 3 funded PhD fellowships Software Engineering for Cloud Computing and Information Security.
The PhD in Applied Information Technology at the School of Economics, Innovation and Technology<https://www.kristiania.no/en/schools/school-of-economics-innovation-and-technology/> (SEIT) is at the forefront of research on the business and organizational implications of digital technology, evolving applied computer science and of the understanding and design of new user interaction paradigms through information systems research and human-computer interaction studies.

Kristiania University College (www.kristiania.no<http://www.kristiania.no>) is offering 3 fully funded PhD fellowships for candidates with a solid background in Applied Information Technology. The successful applicants will be included in a team of researchers with ambitious plans to further develop research and pedagogical activities related to the information technology field at the university college.
Kristiania University College undertakes research and teaching in the fields of management, organisation, marketing, communications, computer science, health science, innovation and the arts. With over 18,000 students and a large educational programme in Oslo, Bergen and online, Kristiania University College is Norway's largest independent broad-based college. Kristiania University College's mission is to contribute to Norway's social and economic development through problem-driven and applied knowledge development and dissemination in close cooperation with working life. In order to undertake this mission in the most effective way possible, Kristiania University College aims to become Norway's first independent university.
This position will be located in at Kristiania´s Kvadraturen campus. Which is located at the heart of Oslo center.
We seek candidates with a good academic understanding in computer science, software engineering or other relevant fields.
Be part of a European Research Council (ERC) funded Consolidator Grant project
The positions are part of the European Research Council (ERC) funded Consolidator Grant named: "Using Evolutionary Algorithms to Understand and Secure Web/Enterprise Systems" (EAST).
The primary objective of the EAST project is to provide novel automated solutions to solve the oracle problem in software security. We will achieve this goal by combining ideas and technologies from the different fields of software testing, evolutionary computation and information security. We will design novel techniques based on Artificial Intelligence to automatically detect several kinds of security vulnerabilities for which there is no existing automated solution.
All software developed in the project will be released as open-source, and developed under modern industry-standard processes.
The results of the project are meant to be used in practice (e.g., among the industrial partners of the project), and not be just throw-away prototypes or proof-of-concepts.
Check "https://github.com/EMResearch/EvoMaster" to have an overview of the systems that will be developed and extended in the EAST project.
The position requires candidates with a passion for software development.
The application deadline is May 14th, 2023.
