Research Fellow In AI For Malware Detection On (IoT) Devices

Queen's University Belfast - Education Studies (inc. TEFL)

Location: Belfast
Salary: £39,222
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Permanent
Placed On: 28th October 2024
Closes: 25th November 2024

The post holder will perform research in AI for Internet of Things (IoT) malware detection. This will involve gaining a deep understanding of how AI systems can be applied to design IoT malware detectors. The key requirements are to design deep neural network (DNN) malware detection solutions that generalise across multiple platforms and can run efficiently on low-resource embedded IoT hardware.

The post holder will also undertake high-quality and novel research in deep-learning-based Internet of Things (IoT) malware detection. This will involve developing deep-neural-network-based malware detectors that use multi-task learning for improved cross-platform robustness, then adapting these networks to run on low-resource IoT devices using novel pruning and distillation techniques.
