Researcher

This is an exciting opportunity within the London Metropolitan University Cyber Security Research Centre to work as a Research Fellow under the supervision of Dr Mohamed Chahine Ghanem and Professor Vassil Vassilev. This Innovative research is funded by InnovateUK under the CyberASAP Phase 2 program and aims to develop a Minimum Viable Product for CyDRA which is a desktop software for cyber security by design enabling risk and vulnerability assessment in transactions and security threats.

the successful candidate is to design and develop a dashboard for controlling the work with the software for logical analysis of vulnerability and risk assessment in transactions under security threats, convert the graph into different formats and integrate the software components for modelling the intelligence graphs with the analytical components for data processing.

The Pay Rate is 17.64?/hour and the position is fixed-term (ends 28/02/2025) and Part-Time 20 hours per week

The successful candidate is expected to :

1. Conduct research
    1.1 Undertake independent research activities, including research projects.
    1.2 Make a significant contribution to the development of appropriate methodologies, together with the initiation and implementation of research work.
    1.3 Advise on and operate specific research techniques, for example, qualitative, quantitative or literature-based approaches.
    1.4 Significant role in progressing research projects including the collection and analysis of data and the writing of reports.
2. Presentation of findings
    2.1 Contribute to the presentation of findings to sponsors, potential sponsors, members of University staff and to wider academic fora.
    2.2 As required, produce documentation and participate in formal presentations of findings.
    2.3 Contribute to the publication of research findings in suitable publications.
3. Research funding
    3.1 Contribute to the preparation of research proposals within the area of expertise.
    3.2 Contribute to the instigation of research and/or consultancy projects
4. University/school profile
    4.1 Engage in networking and promoting the profile of the school, both internally and externally.

AT LEAST an MSc (Graduated or Awaiting the viva) in Software Engineering or Cyber Security

Knowledge of networking, communication and real-time data processing principles, experience developing integrated systems which include communication, data transformation and integration and practical skill for programming in Python, Java, or OS scripts.
