«A position as PhD Research Fellow is available at the Department of Informatics, the University of Oslo, to work on Security and Risk Management for 5G Networks, as part of the Raksha research project funded by the Research Council of Norway.
The scholarship period is 3 years devoted to PhD coursework and research training. Candidates may be offered one additional year by the Department of Informatics; the 4-year position then entails a compulsory workload of 25% that may consist of teaching and supervision duties.

The PhD project will focus on technologies for Cyber Security in general, with specific focus on Security and Risk Management for 5G Networks. Research project tasks will typically involve some of the following activities: theoretical modelling, development of prototype software tools, analysis and experimentation, writing of scientific publications, as well as some project management.
The PhD position is located at the Department of Informatics and specifically in the Research Group for Digital Security.
The PhD student will work in the context of the Digital-Security Group, and in particular as part of the Raksha project which is funded by RCN (the Research Council of Norway). The PhD-student will collaborate with the other project partners SINTEF, SimulaMet and USN (University of South-East Norway).
