Stillingsbeskrivelse

The University of Oslo (UiO) invites applications for a PhD Research Fellow position within the Digital Security Research Group at the Department of Informatics. This three-year fellowship focuses on investigating knowledge-grounded and neuro-symbolic approaches to large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI for defensive cyber operations.

About the project

The research will be conducted in close collaboration with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI). You will explore how heterogeneous cybersecurity intelligence and telemetry can be transformed into structured knowledge graphs, combined with symbolic reasoning and autonomous agents to enhance security analysis, situational awareness, and decision-making.

Key research areas include:

Developing trustworthy, interpretable, and secure AI systems for security-critical environments.
Grounding, reasoning, validation, and control of agentic behavior.
Addressing security and robustness challenges, such as adversarial manipulation, uncertainty, and provenance.

Qualifications

Master’s degree in cybersecurity, computer science, artificial intelligence, or a closely related field.
Strong foundation in computer science or AI/ML, with a demonstrated interest in cybersecurity.
Proven programming and software development skills.
Fluent oral and written communication skills in English.
Candidates must meet specific grade requirements (Bachelor’s average C or better; Master’s average B or better; Master’s thesis B or better).

What we offer

An exciting research role in an internationally oriented academic environment.
Salary in the range of NOK 550,800 – 595,000, depending on qualifications.
Membership in the State Pension Fund and excellent welfare schemes.
Opportunities for professional development and career-promoting work.

Please note that successful applicants must be security-eligible, as the position involves cooperation with stakeholders related to Norwegian national security.
