PhD position in applied research – Dynamic risk assessment for Critical Infrastructure Security
The uPQComing project aims to secure critical infrastructures (mobility, healthcare, finance) against emerging cybersecurity threats, including those posed by quantum computing. By combining cutting-edge research, real-world testing, and cross-sector collaboration, we will develop practical tools and frameworks to ensure long-term security and compliance.
Mission:
Design adaptive risk assessment models to evaluate system resilience against evolving threats, including those posed by quantum computing;
Develop automated tools to identify vulnerabilities in critical systems;
Bridge research and industry by turning theoretical concepts into deployable security;
Publish findings at international conferences and contribute to global standards;
Collaborate with a dynamic team of researchers, engineers, and industry partners;
Attend technical and strategic meetings with project partners;
Participate in teaching activities related to your research domain.
Profile:
A Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field;
Strong programming skills (Python, C/C++, Java);
A strong interest in cybersecurity, risk assessment, or critical infrastructure protection (experience with cryptography is a plus)
The ability to work in a team and communicate complex ideas clearly;
