EMPLEO | Lecturer (Senior Scientist) at the intersection of Statistics/Data Science at AAU Austria

AAU Klagenfurt is looking for a lecturer in the intersection of
statistics/data science/ML/DL and cyber security. AAU is a young
university: in 2018 it was in the QS top 50 under 50 list; it was
first ranked in the THE ranking in 2019/20 in the category of 301-350.

The lecturer position is fixed-term for 3.5 years. The successful
applicant is expected to do a small amount of teaching (2-4
contact/lecture hours per week during term time, subject specific
only, i.e. no service teaching) whilst contributing to the wider
research agenda of the Cybersecurity group
(www.cybersecurityresearch.at).

The group was established by Prof. Elisabeth Oswald (ERC Cog, EPSRC
Leadership fellow) after her move from Bristol (UK) to Austria. The
group’s core expertise is in applied aspects of cryptography, in
particular with statistical techniques that deal with the detection
and exploitation
of information leakage. The group wants to expand towards data
intensive aspects of cybersecurity more generally and therefore seeks
to appoint somebody with a a background in statistics/data science/AI
who has an interest in cybersecurity applications of their research.

The minimum monthly gross salary for this position amounts to €
3.9k (14 times per year) and can increase to € 4.5k maximum
in the case of consideration of previous occupational experience. The
fixed-term employment contract is expected to commence in
August 2020 (but this is negotiable). All details can be found here:

Informal enquiries can be directly directed to Elisabeth.Oswald@aau.at
Formal applications have to be made via the AAU jobs portal:

AAU is an equal opportunities employer and therefor particularly
encourages applications of female researcher and in general
researchers from underrepresented groups.

I am looking forward to enquiries and applications,
Elisabeth
