Job Description

We are looking for a Research Fellow who will be responsible for undertaking in-depth research and innovation in machine/deep learning (ML/DL) and association rule mining (ARM) implementations that can be applied to handle network security. The works must also lead to publications in top-tier international conferences and journals, as well as real-world implementations. Candidate must be skilled to implement and demonstrate a Proof-of-Concept (PoC).

Responsibilities:

• Develop algorithms and adaptive strategies using ARM and ML/DL models for automatic rule generation and mining on network traffic flow data;
• Implement ML/DL that may be augmented with real-time/dynamic ARM techniques developed to classify the traffic and to reconfigure the network during attacks;
• Develop use cases relevant to the application, implement them as a proof-of-concept;
• Work towards filing an invention disclosure
• Must conduct performance evaluations/simulations for research works and must work towards publishing research articles;
• Contribute to knowledge exchange activities with external partners and collaborators;

Qualifications

• A PhD in Computer Science/Computer/Electrical Engineering, with specialization/experience related to machine/deep learning and network security;
• Proven ability to conduct independent research with a strong and relevant publication record;
• Prior experience in network security and ML/DL, network traffic flow data handling, information extraction, dynamic or real-time Association Rule Mining based strategies will be an asset;
• Must be prepared to do network-based implementations
• Excellent interpersonal communication and oral presentation skills
• Open to fixed term contract.
