About the Project
One fully funded PhD position to work with Dr Adriana Sejfia in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, on a project titled “Secure and Private Software Engineering”.
The aim of this project is to develop automated techniques that help software engineers with their security and privacy tasks (i.e., ensure that the software they deploy is free of vulnerabilities and conforms to privacy protection mechanisms for user data). Applicants from various backgrounds and levels of expertise are welcome to apply.
Candidate’s profile
- Familiarity with static analysis concepts, algorithms, and tools (Soot, LLVM)
- Programming skills in Python, Java, and C/C++
- A good Bachelor’s Hons degree (2.1 or above or international equivalent) and/or Master’s degree in a relevant subject (physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, or related subject)
- Proficiency in English (both oral and written)
- Knowledge of machine learning concepts and frameworks is highly desirable
Studentship and eligibility
The studentship covers:
- Full time PhD tuition fees for a student with a home fee status (£4,712 per annum) or overseas fee status (£31,500 per annum)
- A tax-free stipend of £19,237 per year for 3,5 years
- Additional programme costs of £1,000 per year
Application Information
Applicants should apply via the University’s admissions portal (EUCLID) and apply for the following programmeInformatics: ICSA: Computer Architecture, Compilation and System Software, Networks and Communication PhDwith a start date ofSeptember 2024.
Applicants should state “Secure and Private Software Engineering” and the research supervisor (Adriana Sejfia) in their application and Research Proposal document.
Complete applications submitted by 1stof June will receive full consideration; after that date applications will be considered until the position is filled. The anticipated start date is 01 September 2024 but later start dates can be considered.
Applicants must submit:
- All degree transcripts and certificates (and certified translations if applicable)
- Evidence of English Language capability (where applicable)
- A short research proposal (max 2 pages)
- A full CV and cover letter describing your background, suitability for the PhD, and research interests (max 2 pages)
- Two references (note that it the applicant’s responsibility to ensure reference letters are received before the deadline)
Only complete applications (i.e. those that are not missing the above documentation) will progress forward to Academic Selectors for further consideration.
Environment
The School of Informatics is one of the largest in Europe and currently the top Informatics institute in the UK for research power, with 40% of its research outputs considered world-leading (top grade), and almost 50% considered top grade for societal impact. The University of Edinburgh is constantly ranked among the world’s top universities and is a highly international environment with several centres of excellence.

Anesthesia-on-chip: Modelling the impact of fetal anesthesia on neural development
University College London| UCL Great Ormond StreetInstitute of Child Health

About the Project
A3-yearPhD Studentship on stem cell models of anaesthesia, funded by theNC3Rs,is available within the UCL GOS Institute of Child Health. The studentship will commence no later than01/10/2024, under the supervision of Dr Gabriel Galea, Prof Paolo de Coppi and Dr Pratheeban Nambyiah. You can find out more about this project here:https://www.nc3rs.org.uk/our-portfolio/anesthesia-chip-modelling-impact-fetal-anesthesia-neural-development
Background:
Fetal surgery is an increasingly topical area of research which is substantially benefitting patients who have severe congenital malformations, such as spina bifida. Our unpublished data shows that progenitor neurons, which are abundant during fetal development, are particularly susceptible to a commonly-used agent. Which combinations of anesthetics are least neurotoxic remains unknown.
Hypothesis/Aims:
This PhD studentship aims to use hiPSC-derived neural cultures to define neurotoxic or neuroprotective effects of fetal anesthesia.
About the role
Environment:
The student will be supervised by a neuroembryologist who is also the Institute of Child Health co-Departmental Graduate Tutor for research degrees, an anaesthetist who performs fetal anaesthesia, and a surgeon scientist with internationally-recognized expertise in stem cell biology. This will provide interdisciplinary training in iPSC modelling of neural development and disease. These models will replace animal use in fetal anaesthesia research, which are inherently limited because of differences in developmental timelines between humans and animals.
This Studentshippresents a unique opportunity to conduct supervised research at and be a part of the research community, being an integral part of the exciting and thriving research team.
About you
Applicants should have, or expect to receive, at least an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree or a Master’s degree (or equivalent work experience) in a relevant discipline, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
Previous experience of cell culture models is essential, and experience culturing iPSC cells is desirable. The successful candidate will have a demonstrable commitment to a career in research and ability to work as part of large multi-di sciplinary team while taking ownership for the progress of their own project.
What we offer
This studentship covers the cost of tuition fees based on the UK (Home) rate.Non-UK students can apply but will have to personally fund the difference between the UK (Home) rate and the overseas rate where they are not eligible for UK fee status.
The student will receive a starting stipend of£21,181 per annum (including London weighting) as well as the cost of tuition fees based on UK fee status. The studentship also provides consumables costs to carry out the proposed research.
How to Apply
Please donotclick the 'Apply Now' button next to the advert.
Enquiries regarding the post can be made to Dr Gabriel Galea (g.galea@ucl.ac.uk)
To apply, please send a 1) current CV including the contact details of two professional referees and 2) a 1-sided A4 cover letter toDr Gabriel Galea (g.galea@ucl.ac.uk). The cover letter should explain how your previous experience is relevant to this project, and what your future career plans are.
Closing deadline for applications:30 May 2024
Interview date: week commencing 10 June 2024
Applications that are submitted without following the correct application process will not be considered.The successful applicantwill then be required to apply to and register on theChild Health research degreeto take up thestudentship.
