Applications Now Open for the Centre For Doctoral Training in Cyber Security - Up to 12 Funded Doctoral Studentships - start date October 2014

As the technologies of cyberspace come to inhabit all parts of everyday life, Cyber Security has become everyone’s problem.  We face a growing collection of adversaries who are agile, opportunistic, and increasingly strategic, developing an ecosystem of suppliers involved in delivering elements of attack capability. They seek to defraud consumers, exploit their trust, or invade their privacy; to misappropriate corporate secrets and intellectual property; to disrupt the operation of the state or critical infrastructure.

Holding one of these studentships will allow you to study the problems and opportunities in Cyber Security from many different disciplinary perspectives, to understand the real-world challenges, and to make a contribution to solving some of the most significant problems society faces today.

Applications will be considered from those with undergraduate and master’s qualifications in a wide range of disciplines: Cyber Security raises research challenges which span computing and social sciences, as well as associated academic areas.

Funding is provided by EPSRC and is bound by the standard eligibility regulations. Full studentships are available to UK candidates; and Partial studentships (fees only) are available for EU candidates. At present we are not able to offer these studentships to international candidates but we do welcome applications from self-funded students. For more details, to ask questions, or to learn how to apply, please contact the CDT Office - cdt@cybersecurity.ox.ac.uk as soon as possible.
