This is a continuation of the AVAST Fellowship program, which started two years ago. As a recognition of its success, funding for a new fellowship was made available.
Focus
Are you interested in computer science, machine learning or data science? Are you attracted by applications in computer security? We are looking for candidates interested in basic and applied research motivated by the need to protect users from the increasingly sophisticated malware ecosystem. You will join a team of ICS and AVAST researchers and focus on developing strategies to combat malware proliferation. Promising methods you develop will be implemented in systems that protect and affect over 230 million users.
Publishing research findings through scientific reports, research proposals and scientific papers is envisaged, taking into account spheres of free and protected research specified by AVAST (due to the nature of the research and sensitivity of the data).
The Fellow will have an opportunity to contribute to a range of projects including machine learning applications in computer security and big data analysis of data collected from hundreds of millions of samples from our global user base.
Conditions
The fellowship is of at least 12 months duration, a longer period based on the applicant´s research plan can be agreed during evaluation of the candidates. Prolongation is possible.
Starting date: February 1, 2017 or upon agreement, but not later than December 31, 2017.
