Your work assignments
The PhD positions center on developing innovative algorithms and conducting advanced research in the field of digital image forensics. The work will specifically leverage state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to address challenges in visual data processing and forensic analysis. As part of a dedicated, collaborative research team, the positions will push the boundaries of digital forensics by advancing AI-driven methods for identifying, verifying, and analyzing image authenticity.
As a PhD student, you devote most of your time to doctoral studies and the research projects of which you are part. Your work may also include teaching or other departmental duties, up to a maximum of 20% of full-time.
Your qualifications
You have graduated at Master’s level in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Information Security, or completed courses with a minimum of 240 credits, at least 60 of which must be in advanced courses in previously named subjects. Alternatively, you have gained essentially corresponding knowledge in another way. The requirement for a degree must be met no later than the time the employment decision is finalized, which occurs when the employment contract is signed.
Selection for postgraduate education takes place according to the assessed ability to assimilate the postgraduate education. When filling this position, the following competencies will be taken into account in particular by the applicant:
- Good mathematical maturity and experience in digital forensic analysis, machine learning, and visual data processing.
- Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (Pytorch, Tensorflow, among others) and techniques.
- Ability to work independently and ability to formulate and tackle technical and scientific problems.
- You demonstrate high reliability and consistency in your work.
- Good ability for written and oral communication, including good knowledge of English in terms of both speech and writing.
- Ability to work within a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural team/environment.
- Publications in relevant fields are considered a bonus.
Your workplace
You will work in the division of Information Coding that conducts research as well as undergraduate and postgraduate education. The division of Information Coding carries out research and teaching in many areas of Information Processing Technologies, including Quantum Information and Computation, Optoeletronics, Physical Layer Security and Information Theory, Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics.
