About the position

The Department of Information Security and Communication Technology has a vacancy for a position as a PhD Candidate/Early Stage Researcher (ESR10) at the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (IE), in multi-party social contracts and privacy mechanisms. This is a researcher training position aimed at providing promising researcher recruits the opportunity of academic development in the form of a doctoral degree. The position will be funded by the Horizon 2020 / Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions' Innovative Training Network (ITN) project PriMa (Privacy Matters).

https://www.prima-itn.eu/

PriMa (Privacy Matters) is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) funded by the EU through the Horizon 2020 Framework. PriMa is a collaboration between 7 research institutions, including NTNU, and 7 industrial partner organisations with a focus on the analysis and mitigation of privacy risks in a rapidly digitalising society. One factor contributing to the erosion of privacy is the growth in recognition technologies that not only facilitate the recognition of individuals but also the inference from biometric data of emotional state, gender, health, age, and even profession. Another factor is the fast advancement of artificial intelligence, allowing for extensive data mining, and aggregation, linkage and inference of personal information. Hence, there is a real possibility that acceptable privacy may become unattainable unless technological and societal steps are taken to allow citizens to regain control of their personal information. Therefore, the overall objectives of PriMa are:

  1. To train 14 creative, entrepreneurial, and innovative researchers as privacy protection experts.
  2. To contribute to a full understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of privacy protection in a digitalised society.
  3. To contribute to the development of solutions that address this important societal challenge.

PriMa will train a next generation of researchers to define, investigate and implement solutions that ensure secure and efficient privacy protection whilst keeping the advantages of a digitalised society, and provide them with transferable skills to enable effective planning, management and communication of research ideas and outcomes. This will give them excellent career opportunities.

PriMa has 14 open positions for PhD students, which are listed here; https://www.prima-itn.eu/esrs/, and 2 of which are at the NTNU. Applications for this specific position can be made by 7th of February 2020. You can apply for more than one position but note that the application deadlines can be slightly different from position to position.

The position's working place is in on NTNUs campus in Gjøvik and reports to Head of the Department.

Main duties and responsibilities

The trend of personalised digital services inspires us to look for new models for definitions and legislations regarding privacy. The social contract approach is a promising concept to model privacy in a future of personalised digital services from the perspective of cross-party rights and duties provenance and computational negotiation instead of trying to define information ownership. There are uncertainties in the legal, ethical, and technological aspects of implementing this concept in practice. This researcher position will investigate and evaluate the regulatory, technical, and ethical feasibility using social contract and contract-based identity management to protect privacy in the future, and the researcher will be trained to become an expert in the social contract approach to model privacy. The appointment is for a term of 3 years.

The research will be carried out as an integrated part of the eHealth and Welfare Security group at the Center of Cyber and Information Security (CCIS) of NTNU-IIK and under guidance of Associate Professor Bian Yang, and co-supervised by Associate Professor Els Kindt from KU Leuven. The PhD researcher will be supposed to carry out research visit and stay in other project partners for 6-8 months under the project sponsorship.
