Job description

Project Description: Cyber-attacks have grown in number and sophistication, achieving unprecedented success in reaching their targets. Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) such as data exfiltration attacks are both dangerous and difficult to detect. These targeted and stealthy attacks using specifically developed malware circumvent classical detection systems based on signatures or statistical anomalies in network traffic. Only by looking in detail at the actual content of communication would it be possible to detect APTs. A method is thus needed to analyse the huge amount of data involved in an effective way.
SpySpot proposes a solution which combines deep packet analysis with visualization of the analysis results enabling an end user to easily spot anomalies created by APTS like digital espionage. In the deep packet analysis the meaning of communication is recovered using protocol syntax and semantics, abstraction brings additional structure to this meaning and anomaly detection finds patterns deviating from the norm. While automated analysis is needed to manage the huge amount of data, no automatic method can match the ability of the human mind in recognizing deviations and evaluating these. The analysis will thus support visualization of results for human-based evaluation and be able to take into account feedback on the discovered anomalies, such as discarding harmless ones in future traffic.
As a PhD student your tasks concern the following activities:
  • carry out research within the project, in cooperation with the other parties involved;
  • report on the results in papers and conference contributions;
  • finishing a PhD thesis in four years;
  • a small contribution to the teaching activities of the Visualization group may be asked.

Requirements

Requirements:We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:
  • a Master degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or closely related discipline;
  • a strong interest in information visualization, human computer interaction, and security;
  • excellent analytic, creative, and implementation skills;
  • ability to work in a team, cooperate both with academic and industrial partners;
  • fluent in spoken and written English.

Conditions of employment

Appointment and salary:We offer:
  • a full-time temporary appointment for a period of 4 years, with an intermediate evaluation after 9 months;
  • a gross salary of € 2,062 per month in the first year increasing up to € 2,638 per month in the fourth year;
  • a broad package of fringe benefits (e.g. excellent technical infrastructure, the possibility of child daycare and excellent sport facilities).

Job description

We are seeking an early-stage researcher for a European Industrial Doctorates programme in advanced brain imaging using MRI. The project is a collaboration between the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging at Radboud University Nijmegen (Netherlands) and Siemens Medical Solutions based in Erlangen (Germany). Additional training will also be provided by the Rotterdam School of Management. The goal is to provide high-level modern training for physical scientists wishing to pursue a career in industry or academia. You will divide your time equally between Nijmegen and Erlangen, spending the first year of the project in Nijmegen. You will thus experience both an academic and a commercial environment.

In the final stage of the project the tools developed will be utilised in a cohort of healthy volunteers to obtain normative values of brain anatomy and connectivity as functions of age and gender. The project offers an integrated training programme in MR-physics, neuroimaging and commercial and business skills, and will offer the researchers a broad range of career choices upon graduation.

Requirements

- a background in physical sciences, mathematics or engineering;
- an excellent academic trackrecord with a completed Master’s degree at the start of the project;
- a high degree of motivation and the ability to work independently;
- good communication skills, including both verbal and written English;
- the ability to work well in a team;
- an interest in the commercial application of advanced medical imaging techniques;
- prior knowledge of MR physics and the C++ programming language would be advantageous;
- to conform with EU regulations you may not have resided in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the last three years.

Conditions of employment

- you will be classified as PhD student (promovendus) in the Dutch university job-ranking system (UFO).
- the starting salary is €2,083 per month on a full-time basis; the salary will increase to €2,542 per month in the third year;
This vacancy was originally published in October/November 2013. Applicants who were rejected at the time are kindly requested not to apply again.
Contract type: Temporary, 3 years

Such models were tools in the process of designing and constructing new naval vessels. These models were initially kept in the Marinemodellenkamer (Naval Models Room) in The Hague. This collection was soon expanded to include unique model ships from the 17th and 18th centuries, technical tools, weapons and captured standards. With the reopening of the Rijksmuseum, a significant part of this collection is once again on show to the general public, for the first time in almost a century. Over the past thirty years, intensive efforts have been made to fully treat and describe the approximately 1600 objects that make up this collection. In 2014, this work will culminate in the publication of a catalogue of the entire collection.

Job description

Project: Breast cancer screening – from one-size-fits-all to a personalized risk-based approach
In virtually all population-based breast cancer screening programmes, the only risk factor – even though the strongest – used to define the target population is age. This ‘one-size-fits-all’ screening approach does not take advantage of the growing ability to predict individual variation in screening benefits and harms and to translate that information into better screening outcomes. In our project, we will model the impact of adapting breast cancer screening policy to a woman’s individual risk by collecting all relevant data on risk factors and obtaining a blood sample from the participants. In addition, we will make an inventory on communication, medico-legal and ethical considerations related to personalized risk-based screening and present a synthesis at an interdisciplinary expert meeting, along with results of the project, in order to discuss implications and recommendations for current vs. personalized risk-based screening policies. This project thus represents an essential first step towards the future, where more individualized approaches to screening are likely to become the new screening paradigm.
The PhD student on this project will collect information on risk factors and biomarkers in a screening cohort, develop a tailor-made risk prediction model and, subsequently, model the impact of adapting breast cancer screening policy to populations at varying levels of risk. In addition, the PhD student will be involved in the assessment of communication, medico-legal and ethical considerations related to personalized risk-based screening. The results will be reported in scientific publications (resulting in a PhD thesis) and presented at (inter)national conferences.

Research setting:
The PRISMA study (Personalized RISk-based Mammascreening) is part of the research group on Cancer Epidemiology at the Department for Health Evidence. The PRISMA study will be performed in collaboration with a consortium of (inter)national partners.

Requirements

  • A Master’s degree in epidemiology, biomedical sciences or health sciences
  • A keen interest in and experience with modelling
  • A curious, enterprising and creative mind and excellent analytical skills
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a capacity to produce results
  • Excellent English proficiency in oral and written communication
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team

Conditions of employment

  • Scale 10A: max € 38600 gross per year at full employment (incl. vacation bonus and end of year payments)
Contract type: Temporary, Contract for one year, with possible extension to a maximum of four years
