Computer Science Researcher (CompSci Researcher)

Halifax, West Yorkshire - Full relocation package available
Up to £60,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Must be willing to undergo a high security clearance

Are you a Computer Science researcher with a PhD and research experience within privacy, cyber security or networking, who wants to take research beyond academic papers and turn it into technology that solves real-world problems?

This role sits within a software engineering team delivering both internal and customer-funded research, developing proof-of-concepts and prototypes that can ultimately become future operational capabilities.

The focus is on a specific subset of Computer Science research. To be suitable, your research background must be within at least one of the following areas: privacy, cyber security or networking.

You’ll conduct innovative research, design experiments using the scientific method, document findings and present research outcomes to stakeholders. You’ll also work closely with software engineers to turn research into working prototypes.

The key experience required is:

• PhD in Computer Science or a closely related subject
• Research experience specifically within privacy, cyber security or networking
• Strong Java development skills, alongside some Python and Bash
• Experience designing experiments and applying the scientific method
• Strong research report writing and presentation skills

Within those core research areas, experience in privacy research, vulnerability research, non-HTTP network protocols, mobile applications or cellular communication networks such as 5G would be particularly relevant.

You’ll also need an understanding of protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, including technologies and approaches such as SSO, two-factor authentication and mutual certificate authentication.

The role is predominantly based near Halifax, West Yorkshire, with occasional travel and overnight stays at customer and partner locations.

You must be a willing to undergo Developed Vetting (DV) due to the sensitivity of the work, which means you would have needed to have 10 years UK residency. 

There is a relocation package available.

If your research sits within privacy, cyber security or networking and you want to see that research turned into real-world technology, this offers the opportunity to take it from experimentation through to working prototypes.
