Two new Assistant Professor positions available at Lancaster University Leipzig, one with a focus on data science, one focussed on cyber security. Lancaster University Leipzig is a young branch campus of Lancaster University, based in Leipzig Germany. The department is focussed on intelligent systems, including topics such as emergent behaviour, unconventional computing, quantum software engineering, and robotics. These are grade 8 openings, so we would expect to see a research plan and teaching experience from interested applicants (grade 7 is the typical entry-level asst. prof. level).

Fordham University (New York City) has developed a unique Ph.D. program in Computer Science, tuned to the latest demands and opportunities of the field. Upon completion of the Ph.D. in Computer Science program, students will be able to demonstrate the fundamental, analytical, and computational knowledge and methodology needed to conduct original research and practical experiments in the foundations and theory of computer science, in software and systems, and in informatics and data analytics. They will also be able to apply computing and informatics methods and techniques to understand, analyze, and solve a variety of significant, real-world problems and issues in the cyber, physical, and social domains. Furthermore, they will be able to conduct original, high-quality, ethically informed, scientific research and publish in respected, peer-reviewed, journals and conferences. Lastly, they will be able to effectively instruct others in a variety of topics in Computer Science at the university level, addressing ethics, justice, diversity, and sustainability. This training and education means that graduates can pursue careers at the university level, but also research and leadership positions in industry and government and within the leading technology companies. A hallmark of the program is early involvement in research, within the first two years of the program. Students will have the opportunity to carry out research in machine learning and AI/robotics, big data analytics and informatics, data and information fusion, information and cyber security, and software engineering and systems.

LJMU's Freeport and Net Zero Transport Thematic Doctoral Pathways (FTDP) programme is offering six full PhD scholarships (UK/international) to develop two PhD cohorts who will apply their skills in AI, operational research, engineering, and science to tackle transport/logistics decarbonisation, with a focus on UK freeports. This call is for the first cohort (3 PhD scholarships) and is open to both UK and international candidates. The three topics for the first cohort are: Optimising the planning and operations of alternative fuel vehicles, Machine learning or material analyses using intelligent sensors for Net Zero, Digitalisation and cyber security for freeports.
