An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Fellow in Cyber Security – Hybrid Virtualisation to join a dynamic research team focused on advancing the security of next-generation virtualisation technologies. This role will involve conducting high-quality research into the security challenges and solutions associated with hybrid virtualisation in cloud and edge computing environments. The successful candidate will contribute to innovative projects, publish research findings in leading journals and conferences, and collaborate closely with both academic and industry partners.

Key responsibilities will include designing and implementing novel security mechanisms for hybrid virtualisation platforms, analysing potential vulnerabilities, and developing mitigation strategies. The role also involves the evaluation of existing security protocols and proposing enhancements to improve the resilience of virtualised infrastructures. The Research Fellow will be expected to contribute to the preparation of research proposals, mentor postgraduate students, and engage with the wider cyber security community.

Applicants should hold a PhD (or be close to completion) in Computer Science, Cyber Security, or a closely related discipline. Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with virtualisation technologies, cloud and edge computing, and cyber security principles are essential. The ideal candidate will possess expertise in system security, network security, and secure software development. Excellent problem-solving skills, a track record of research publications, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team are required. Experience with collaborative research projects and engagement with external stakeholders will be advantageous.
