The Opportunity

The Department of Software Systems and Cybersecurity (SSC) is a world leader in cybersecurity research.

Through our work we seek to understand and address the challenges created by the constant re-imagining of technology.

The Faculty of Information Technology is hiring a Research Fellow to develop an ethical framework to tackle the issue of fake degrees. The project involves undertaking a systematic literature review, conducting and analysing interviews, developing a survey and conducting a quantitative analysis.

To be successful in this role, you should have a degree and a PhD in Psychology or a closely related field. You should also possess strong training in experimental methods, along with excellent quantitative and qualitative research skills, and a solid understanding of psychological theories.
