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: https://jobs.aau.at/en/job/senior-scientist-all-genders-welcome-2/
