Graduate School Positions
Cybercampus Sweden is proud to present its PhD school - the first national PhD school on cybersecurity and a unique structure.
The PhD school will in its first round include 15 PhD positions employed at 15 different academic partners. Each PhD project will be co-supervised by experts from at least two participating Cybercampus partners. This collaborative model allows us to bring together knowledge from different fields and enables research efforts that go beyond what individual institutions can achieve on their own. The launch of the PhD school marks a significant step forward in our commitment to building a more cyber-secure Sweden.
Being part of the PhD school will enable you to do research at excellent Swedish Universities and research centers in cooperation with Cybercampus Sweden. PhD students will benefit from extraordinary networking opportunities, an outstanding interdisciplinary PhD training program in cybersecurity and cybersecurity research infrastructures and support that will be available at the partner organizations and the Cybercampus Sweden facilities. PhD students will be employed for 4-5 years and will in addition to an attractive salary also receive travel and mobility grants for visiting other Cybercampus partners.
Currently open positions
Ph.D. student position in computer science at Blekinge Institute of Technology
The PhD student will be part of the newly established Cybercampus Graduate School (About Cybercampus Graduate School) and will work on a joint PhD project in close cooperation with researchers from Örebro University, who will serve as co-supervisors with their expertise in usable security and AI. The PhD student will work on a PhD project titled: “Distributed Intelligence for Cybersecurity in Industry 5.0 and Critical Infrastructures: From Data Fusion to Intelligence Fusion”. The aim of the project is to develop a framework based on collaborative AI concept, e.g., Agentic AI or other collaborative Large Language Models (LLMs), that synthesizes actionable intelligence from distributed, heterogeneous data sources (from both IT and OT environments), enabling more accurate, timely, and resilient cyber threat detection and response for Industry 5.0 and critical infrastructure environments.

PhD Position in Automated Security Testing for Critical Infrastructure, Linköping University
Cyber threats to critical infrastructure—such as energy grids and digitized transport—are a growing societal concern. The AutoSecTest project aims to revolutionize how we defend these systems by developing automated methods for security testing, evaluation, and mitigation.
As a PhD student, you will contribute to a research agenda that bridges the gap between human expertise and automated tools. You will explore the integration of Generative AI/Machine Learning with formal methods like symbolic execution and model checking to detect and patch vulnerabilities in complex Operational Technology (OT) environments.
