About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to support our research and development work within the SEDAN group.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a CORE project funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) to explore and validate theoretical research.
The main objective of the project is to build a cybersecurity-oriented telemetry framework capturing and modeling causal dependencies in a microservice-based infrastructure to identify the complex inter-dependencies among events generated by applications, services, system and network communications with a final aim to trace the causes of anomalies or attacks.
Going beyond time-series models, the aim of the project is to progress on causal inference modelling by combining probabilistic reasoning and deep learning models. The objective is thus to have a model capable to reason under uncertainty.
The postdoc will research on refining AI-generated causal models through a Reinforcement Learning loop. Indeed, Large Language Models can generate logic-based code representing probabilities, and the RL loop will be used to refine the generated model by testing it over real data.
In addition, the candidate will be involved in project management, reporting and dissemination. The project is an academic project oriented but applied research. It is a unique opportunity to develop new concepts with a close collaboration.
Key Responsibilities:
* Refine AI-generated causal models through a Reinforcement Learning loop
* Work on building a cybersecurity-oriented telemetry framework
* Conduct research on causal inference modelling
* Participate in project management, reporting and dissemination
Requirements:
* PhD degree in Computer Science/engineering or Telecommunication Engineering
* Good understanding of different ML algorithms and architectures
* Good knowledge in statistics and stochastic models
* Knowledge in Cybersecurity
* Good programming skills
* Comfortable with Linux environments
Benefits:
* A multilingual and international character
* A modern institution with a personal atmosphere
* An ideal environment for collaborative research and development
Others:
* A strong team player with a desire to make a personal impact
* A motivated candidate who can work independently and efficiently
We offer a dynamic and innovative work environment that fosters collaboration and creativity. If you are a highly motivated and experienced researcher looking for a new challenge, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
