PhD Position in Accountable Usage Control for Distributed Data Processing Systems

2 weken geleden


Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland Universiteit van Amsterdam Voltijd

What are you going to do

?

To realize the aforementioned goals, you will study existing access and usage control models such as XACML and UCON. These models will need to be critically assessed based on elicited requirements, resulting in proposals for novel usage control models and novel data exchange systems. You will contribute to the development of control mechanisms, monitoring approaches, distributed data processing protocols and policy information protocols. You will interact with experts within the CCI group and the AMdEX consortium to elicit legal, privacy and security requirements on the proposed systems. You will develop prototypes and demonstrators based on usage scenarios from providers and consumers of data assets and data processing services, within the DMI ecosystem in particular. Proposed solutions are to be evaluated against functional and non-functional requirements, including security and privacy requirements and scalability.

As a PhD student you will also play an active role in the teaching activities of the department. Typical teaching duties involve assisting students during (programming) labs, assessing students work and (co-)supervising BSc and/or MSc graduation projects.

In this role you will apply and master your skills on the topics of software engineering in general and distributed computing in particular. You will perform cutting edge research on a crucial topic that directly impacts society and as a result develop yourself as a professional researcher in the aforementioned areas.

Embedded in the CCI group, you will become part of a large group of fellow PhD students and researchers actively pursuing and solving challenges related to systems and security research, software engineering and systems for data management and data analysis (e.g. using AI).

Tasks and responsibilities

conducting fundamental research in the field of distributed software systems under the supervision of members of faculty; collaborate with fellow PhD students and researchers within and outside of the department collaborate with privacy/legal experts from project partners, primarily to elicit requirements and gather feedback publish and present your work in journals and international conferences teaching in one of the bachelor or master programs of the department, typically as an assistant of one of the supervisors supervising Bachelor and Master students during their graduation project complete and defend a PhD thesis within the employment period

Your profile

MSc in computer science, software engineering or related discipline (including near-graduates of the running academic year) Enthusiasm for the research process: studying research papers, solving complex problems, applying creative thinking, evaluation, reflection and disseminating findings via writing and oral presentations Programming experience, ideally in languages with clearly recognisable object oriented and/or distributed programming elements (such as Rust, Go, C++, etc.). The ability to design and implement modular and scalable software systems The ability to critically evaluated abstract models as well as concrete implementations The ability to work individually as well as effectively in a team Professional command of the English language

Appreciation for programming across (other) paradigms, e.g. functional or declarative programming, are a pre. It is a preference if you have experience in a professional environment and in interacting with people of different disciplines. Experience with blockchain, smart contracts, cloud and virtualization technologies may be an advantage.

Our offer

A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for the duration of 4 years (the initial contract will be for a period of 18 months and after satisfactory evaluation it will be extended for a total duration of 4 years). The preferred starting date is as early as 1st of August and no later than 1st of October. The work should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). We will draft an educational plan that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. We also expect you to assist in teaching undergraduates and master students.

The gross monthly salary, based on 38 hours per week and dependent on relevant experience, ranges between € 2, to € 3, (scale P). This does not include 8% holiday allowance and 8,3% year-end allowance. The UFO profile Promovendus/Promovenda is applicable. A favourable tax agreement, the '30% ruling', may apply to non-Dutch applicants. The Collective Labour Agreement of Universities of the Netherlands is applicable.

Besides the salary and a vibrant and challenging environment at Science Park we offer you multiple fringe benefits:

holiday hours per year (based on fulltime) and extra holidays between Christmas and 1 January; multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre; a complete educational program for PhD students; multiple courses on topics such as leadership for academic staff; multiple courses on topics such as time management, handling stress and an online learning platform with + different courses; 7 weeks birth leave (partner leave) with % salary; partly paid parental leave; the possibility to set up a workplace at home; a pension at ABP for which UvA pays two third part of the contribution; the possibility to follow courses to learn Dutch; help with housing for a studio or small apartment when you're moving from abroad.
