Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cybersecurity
by tkunz＠sce.carleton.ca 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

The Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University is accepting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in a project entitled “Realistic and Generalizable Training of Autonomous Cyber Agents”. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The initial duration is for two years (subject to the availability of funds), renewable for up to a total of three years. The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in research that uses Machine Learning, specifically Reinforcement Learning, to train autonomous blue (i.e., defensive) agents. The cyber environment is not static, with the network topology changing, new vulnerabilities occurring, new exploits being discovered, red agents deploying different attack strategies and/or different goals, etc. Therefore, the project aims to develop a training environment and training algorithms that result in blue agents capable of dealing with this changing landscape without extensive retraining. For more details about the project, the department, the required skills, and how to apply, please consult the attached document. -- Thomas Kunz Professor Systems and Computer Engineering Carleton University
