PhD position summary/title: PhD student in working environment, with a focus on digitalisation
Mental ill-health among children and young people is increasing in Sweden, leading to a higher workload for psychologists and counsellors working with this group. To meet these challenges, robots, bots and online services are being introduced to facilitate early-stage support for mental ill-health. However, there is limited knowledge about how digitalisation affects workload, professional responsibility and the experience of providing ‘good care’, as well as whether and how psychologists and counsellors integrate digital tools into their daily work. This doctoral project examines how chat, video, e-services and bots affect psychologists’ and counsellors’ working environment, professional identity and ethics.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Electrical Engineering to the Department of Electrical and Information Technology
Through the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) we now offer two new doctoral student positions in the area of Cybersecurity and Privacy. WASP is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their
environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems.
More about WASP (wasp-sweden.org).
The primary duties of the doctoral student positions are to perform research and teaching within the Cybersecurity and Privacy area. The research is devoted to the broader area of privacy-preserving communication and computation outsourcing. Communication over the internet is susceptible to surveillance and censorship. Privacy preserving communication techniques (e.g., Tor, Nym, Snowflake) allow users to circumvent such surveillance and censorship. The research scope would include designing, analysing and implementing such systems; additionally, studying different attacks and countermeasures are expected to be part of the research method.
Privacy-preserving computation outsourcing allows users to outsource computation tasks to a cloud server without revealing to the server anything about the user data or even what kind of computations the user is performing. There are different techniques for such privacy-preserving computation outsourcing such as Trusted Execution Environment (e.g., Intel SGX) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (TFHE, BGV). Furthermore, the specific functions/tasks can be subject to attacks, and identifying attacks and countermeasures is expected to be studied. The research method will be a combination of system studies, design, and experimental research.
