Would you like to support cutting-edge research and teaching into cybersecurity and AI with your programming expertise? As a scientific programmer, you will help researches solve scientific challenges by designing and constructing experimental prototypes. A meaningful position, where you help us combine research on the foundations of computer science with societally relevant problems.

As a scientific programmer you will support researchers in cybersecurity and AI by designing, constructing and rolling out experimental prototypes. Moreover, you will help prepare tutorials for students and organise lab materials. 

You should have a strong background in computer science, but we do not expect you to have any cyber security-specific knowledge. As such, you will also be able to support data science and software science groups.

Finally, since the intersection of AI and cybersecurity is a relatively new field with many unsolved challenges, this will also allow you to provide feedback on interesting research directions and actively participate therein.

• You are proficient in one or more modern programming languages (Python, C/C++, assembly, Rust, Go) and have experience with Verilog/VHDL.
• You have knowledge of machine learning/deep learning and data mining.
• You have knowledge of TensorFlow/PyTorch/Keras. You have experience in GPU and parallel programming.
• You have a communicative and accessible attitude and can function well in a team.
• You are flexible and can work independently.
• You are strongly motivated to deliver a usable and maintainable product. You have a good command of English.

Work and science require good employment practices. This is reflected in Radboud University's primary and secondary employment conditions. You can make arrangements for the best possible work-life balance with flexible working hours, various leave arrangements and working from home. You are also able to compose part of your employment conditions yourself, for example, exchange income for extra leave days and receive a reimbursement for your sports subscription. And of course, we offer a good pension plan. You are given plenty of room and responsibility to develop your talents and realise your ambitions. Therefore, we provide various training and development schemes.

The position is available in the Digital Security group of the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS) at Radboud University and you will be working with members of the Data Science group as well. Research at iCIS focuses on three themes: software science, digital security and data science. These themes build upon Radboud University's long-standing tradition of combining cutting-edge research on the mathematical foundations of computer science with societally relevant problems that are susceptible to scientific solutions. During recent evaluations, iCIS has been consistently ranked as the No. 1 Computing Science department in the Netherlands. Evaluation committees praise our flat and open organisational structure and our ability to attract external funding.
