About the Job
Cybersecurity is integral to Australia's national security, innovation, and prosperity. As a key element of Swinburne’s Research Strategy, Swinburne is fast developing its research and innovation capabilities in Cybersecurity. Swinburne’s Cybersecurity Lab is engaged in researching and developing technologies to protect our current and future information systems and networks. These range from technologies that secure an individual’s information to those that safeguard critical infrastructure.
The Research Fellow will contribute to the research in the broad area of data-driven cybersecurity, system security, and adversarial machine learning. The purpose of this position is to research into the area of theory development and system implementation of a unified adversarial classification framework that considers uncertainty from data. The resilience of systems and models is therefore a critical component for trustworthy systems in national security and society more broadly, but one that is so far not well investigated. The successful candidate will demonstrate extensive knowledge in network and system security, machine learning algorithms, and data analytics.
