Technische Universiteit Delft

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is a multifaceted institution offering education and carrying out research in the technical sciences at an internationally recognised level. Education, research and design are strongly oriented towards applicability. TU Delft develops technologies for future generations, focusing on sustainability, safety and economic vitality. At TU Delft you will work in an environment where technical sciences and society converge. TU Delft comprises eight faculties, unique laboratories, research institutes and schools.

Faculty Technology, Policy and Management

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is a high-ranked and world-renowned academic institution. Within the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, we manage a close-knit security and privacy team of more than 20 people from all over the world. We believe in team-based science and most of our publications are joint work. The core of the team consists of computer scientists, complemented with researchers from social science, statistics, economics and other disciplines. The team has an empirical focus: we study the causal forces that shape security problems in the real world, as well as measure the effects of interventions.

We collaborate closely with industry and governments, giving us access to unique data sets and operational environments. Our research has had visible impact in various areas and is regularly featured on TV and in news media. Our measurements on botnet mitigation for the Dutch government have led the Dutch ISPs to set up AbuseHub, a clearinghouse for botnet data. Our research on criminal underground markets is used in ongoing investigations of the High Tech Crime Unit from the Dutch police. And we are working with Fox-IT, a leading security provider, to develop predictive risk metrics for enterprise networks (part of a collaborative project with Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Tulsa).

Both positions come with the opportunity to play a role in the supervision of current PhD researchers that are funded through the Dutch Research Council (NWO). We expect one of the positions to also play a role in the supervision of two PhD researchers funded by the Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service. We are open to hearing about and working with the candidates' preferences in this regard. In the team as a whole, we have further research projects funded by the European Commission, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Dutch police, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the Ministry of Justice and Security. The team also plays a key role in the NWO-funded INTERSECT consortium that was recently awarded a 10 million Euro research grant for developing an Internet-of-Secure-Things.

Within TU Delft, we closely collaborate in teaching, student supervision and research with our colleagues in the Cybersecurity group at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. They are also hiring!
