La Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), l’ente di ricerca della Provincia autonoma di Trento che opera nel campo scientifico tecnologico e delle scienze umane, è alla ricerca di un ricercatore nel campo dell’intelligenza artificiale e delle sue applicazioni all’IoT e alla cybersecurity.
The FBK Cyber Security Centre (CS) develops digital technology and cyber security to foster collaboration between the various stakeholders through a combination of IT risk management techniques (in order to develop highly innovative security solutions that will mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of attacks) as well as trust management techniques (to improve the interaction between people and technology). As part of the FBK mission, which aims to achieve results of scientific excellence and to produce an impact on society, the Center’s mission is to make these techniques available to the largest number of organizations, including SMEs, which account for a substantial part of the EU economy but lack cybersecurity expertise. To this end, integrating automated cyber risk assessment support with trust management that will have the ability to produce operational suggestions to assist ICT solutions designers, developers and administrators in their daily activities is critical.
The Security and Trust (S&T) research unit of the Cyber Security research center aims to develop cutting-edge security solutions for identity and access management, risk management, and legal compliance for data protection. The S&T unit has been and is currently being involved in several research and innovation projects with partners from Academy, Public Administration, and Industry.
FBK actively seeks diversity and inclusion in the workplace and is also committed in promoting gender equality.
