Subject area

Software Engineering

Subject area description

Modern software products are increasingly more connected, which allows for smarter and better products. The automotive industry is highly affected by this trend on several levels – vehicle to vehicle communication, vehicle to infrastructure communication and vehicle to OEM (car manufacturer) communication. Two examples of highly connected functions are the autonomous driving and over-the-air updates. However, even if connectivity opens up for new functions, it also brings in new risks.

Our project addresses the challenges that affect connected systems from the perspective of software security. The project aims at exploring and developing software mechanisms that enable interconnectivity in a secure way. It requires multidisciplinary studies of how software of vehicles, car manufacturers’ infrastructure and traffic infrastructure is constructed. It requires studies of which potential new attack surfaces are introduced and which mechanisms are required to secure our transport systems in the future.

Duties

The work in the project consists of 80% research and 20% teaching within the area of software engineering and network- and system development.

The research tasks in this project consist of literature reviews and case studies of connected vehicles. In the first part of the project, the focus is on the existing software architectures and communication protocols within a vehicle. In the second part of the project, the focus is on studies of communication mechanisms between vehicles and their infrastructure, including other road users. The third and the fourth parts of the project require development of prototypes of mechanisms to detect and prevent attacks on vehicles or infrastructure. The results include both theories and prototypes.

The teaching activities at the department consist of lecturing, supervising exercises, supervising Bachelor's and Master's thesis projects for at most 20% of her/his time.

The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg.

Visit Inclusive Queen’s for information on equity, diversity and inclusion resources and initiatives.

The University invites applications from all qualified individuals. Queen’s is strongly committed to employment equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace and encourages applications from Black, racialized/visible minority and Indigenous people, women, persons with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQ+ persons. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.

To comply with federal laws, the University is obliged to gather statistical information as to how many applicants for each job vacancy are Canadian citizens / permanent residents of Canada. Applicants need not identify their country of origin or citizenship; however, all applications must include one of the following statements: “I am a Canadian citizen / permanent resident of Canada”; OR “I am not a Canadian citizen / permanent resident of Canada”. Applications that do not include this information will be deemed incomplete.

In addition, the impact of certain circumstances that may legitimately affect a nominee’s record of professional achievement will be given careful consideration when assessing the nominee’s research productivity. Candidates are encouraged to provide any relevant information about their experience and/or career interruptions.

A complete application consists of:

• a cover letter (including one of the two statements regarding Canadian citizenship / permanent resident status specified in the previous paragraph)
• a current Curriculum Vitae (including a list of publications)
• The names and contact information of three referees

The deadline for applications is October 18, 2023.

Applicants are encouraged to send all documents in their application packages electronically as one PDF to library.hr@queensu.ca.

The University will provide support in its recruitment processes to applicants with disabilities, including accommodation that takes into account an applicant’s accessibility needs. If you require accommodation during the interview process, please contact Rachael MacDermid at library.hr@queensu.ca.
