PhD and Post-Doc positions on Artificial Intelligence for Personal

Dear All,

we are looking for candidates for PhD and PostDoc positions at the SmartData Center of Politecnico di Torino (Italy) in the context of the H2020 PIMCity European project.

PIMCity European Project:

The Web economy has been revolutionized by unprecedented possibility of collecting massive amounts of user personal data, which lead the web to become the largest data market and created the biggest companies in our history. Unfortunately, this change has deep consequences for users, who, deprived of any negotiation power, are compelled to blindly provide their data for free access to services, and creating a privacy nightmare.

Personal Information Management Systems (PIMS) aim to give users back control over their data, while creating transparency in the market. However, so far, they have failed to reach business maturity and sizable user bases. The PIMCity European Project will offer tools to change this scenario. The project aims at designing and deploying novel mechanisms to increase users’ privacy, studying privacy preserving analytics and automatic methodologies to compute privacy-related metrics.

Job Location:
SmartData center at Politecnico di Torino, Italy - smartdata.polito.it

Research Denoscription:
The candidate will conduct high-quality research activities within the SmartData@Polito center, led by Prof. Marco Mellia, to research on topics including but not limited to:

Web Privacy Data analytics, to quantify and automatically detect privacy violations and threats on the internet. The candidate will exploit active and passive measurements to fed automatic algorithms to detect, quantify and highlight privacy threats in the internet. Big data, automatic crawling, machine learning are fundamentals building block to detect which private information systems are collecting, how they store and manage the data, if they share data with third parties, etc.
Personal privacy preserving analytics, as means to impose control on personal data. The candidate will use concepts like Zero Knowledge, Differential Privacy, K-Anonymity to achieve the goal to design and engineer solutions that allow one to share their data, while keeping control on it.
Automatic collection and computation of easy to understand novel privacy metrics. The candidate will have to design easy to understand metrics that allows anyone to understand the privacy threat when accessing an online service - a fundamental information for a user to know to take informed decisions.
How to apply:
Interested candidates can contact the Prof. Marco Mellia at mellia@polito.it

POST DOC POSITION:
Requirements:

PhD in Computer Science or equivalent disciplines.
Strong publication record in top academic conferences and/or journals.
Background in privacy-preserving and machine learning methodologies.
Knowledge of big data tools for data science.
Dates:
The starting date is flexible, ideally beginning of 2020.
Appointment:
Post-Doc (assegno di ricerca) duration of 1 year, with funding for renewal up to 3 years, based on mutual interest.

PhD POSITION:
Requirements:

Master’s of Science degree or a similar degree in Computer Science or equivalent disciplines.

Fulltime PhD Scholarship: New Methods and Perspectives on African Migration - DEADLINE 30 November

Research topic

Migration patterns vary substantially across regions and countries, and flows have changed considerably over time. Africa has a long history of internal and international migration, with migrants moving within and beyond the continent. In 2015, the UNDESA estimated(1) that 14 percent of international migrants1 in the world originated from the continent. According to the JRC report(2) the number of people in Africa moving from their home country is set to increase in line with population growth over the coming decades. The majority of the people on the move remain on the African continent, with about 40% of them coming to Europe. As an important force of development in both sending and destination regions, migration forms a top-priority issue in the global policy debate. The main objective of this study is to incorporate the remote sensing perspective to analyse the migration patterns within and from Africa, the drivers behind them (such as environmental factors, epidemic dynamics, etc. in addition to socio-economic aspects). The project also aims to provide a deeper understanding of the potential effects of policy decisions on migratory flows, and project potential scenarios for the future.
