The multi-disciplinary center for cyber resilient AI, RESIST, is a national effort funded by the Swedish Strategic Research Foundation (SSF) to bring together leading researchers in AI and cybersecurity to develop novel solutions to cyber resilient AI for the benefit of Swedish industry and society. The vision is to make Sweden a role model in secure trustworthy AI by pioneering cyber resilience across the AI lifecycle.

The research program focuses on four key themes:

  • Trustworthy and Verifiable AI
  • Runtime Security Assurance
  • Robust and Secure AI-Supported Development
  • Resilient Distributed and Agentic

RESIST will drive world-class research in the intersection between AI and cybersecurity through a strong, stimulating and well connected international research environment. Research outcomes will be validated in realworld scenarios with industry and public-sector partners. RESIST will also serve as a national hub for cyber resilient AI, promoting education, knowledge sharing, and policy development.

These new positions offer the opportunity to work in a vibrant and internationally connected environment where research results are tested and applied together with industry and public-sector partners. The recruitment strengthens Sweden’s position as a leader in secure and trustworthy AI.
