Research Assistant Position on Trusted Domains
Grade 7; Salary: £29,541 – £36,298

Applications are invited from suitably-qualified individuals for a research assistant, associated with our TSB-funded “Trust Domains” project. 

Trust Domains is a collaborative project between the University of Oxford, Hewlett Packard Labs, Perpetuity Research and Consultancy, and the Universities of Birmingham and Aberdeen.  The post-holder will work in Oxford.

The project aims to develop Trust Domains as a basic concept for separating information, processes, and concerns, and as a modelling and design paradigm for risk-tailored architectures.  The project expects to provide security-enhanced, distributed containers for the next generation of composite electronic services for supporting collaboration and data exchange within and across multiple organisations.  The Oxford contribution concentrates on the definition of architectures with measurable trust characteristics, and the delivery of one or more components which help to advance the state of the art in such systems. 

Holders of this post will be expected to undertake original research, under the direction of Dr Andrew Martin, in Oxford University Department of Computer Science.  Applicants should have a master’s degree in a relevant subject, experience of software architecture and a demonstrated understanding of the core concepts of information security in a distributed systems context.

The post, which is a full time appointment, is funded by EPRSC and is available as soon as possible, until 31st March 2014. The salary is on the University grade 07S scale (currently £29,541 to £36,298). This includes membership of the University Superannuation Scheme (USS) and has an annual leave entitlement of 38 days per year (inclusive of all public holidays and university closed periods).

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 3rd July 2013.
