About The University
Swansea University is a research-led university that has been making a difference since 1920. The University community thrives on exploration and discovery and offers the right balance of excellent teaching and research, matched by an enviable quality of life.
Our stunning waterfront campuses and multicultural community make us a desirable workplace for colleagues from around the world. Our reward and benefits, and ways of working enable those who join us to have enriching careers, matched by an excellent work-life balance.
About The Role
The ENCYRCLE project is looking for an enthusiastic research assistant to join the Swansea University project team. You will be part of a £2 million research initiative with the Wales-based National Data Exploitation Centre (NDEC), part of global technology leader Thales, to strengthen the cyber resilience of interconnected systems, including those in transport.
Cyber resilience concerns a system's ability to continuously deliver intended outcomes despite adverse cyber events. In ENCYRCLE, modelling and verification shall inform the engineering of system updates designed to recover affected services without endangering the delivery of other (unaffected) services. One trigger of such updates is the need to replace cryptosystems by quantum-safe ones, a change that, e.g., NCSC encourages to carry out from 2028 onwards.
You will be developing a SysML-based specification language for cyber resilience design and analysis. It is a strength of SysML that it is not fixed to a specific tool for verification and validation. The idea is to `connect' SysML to tools. This allows to utilise the `best' tools for the desired analyses. Besides developing a suitable SysML profile and tool support for it, you will also design model transformations into the input language of analysis tools such as simulators, model-checkers, and theorem provers. The resulting tool chain shall be demonstrated in a case study from the automotive sector.
The modelling work package in ENCYCRLE is led by Professor Markus Roggenbach, who is head of the Cyber Security Group at Swansea. This research project is aligned with the UK Government’s strategy and its results will directly inform industry best practice, guidance, and will contribute to resilient engineering systems and infrastructure. The impact of this work will directly inform guidance and principles underpinning the design of critical national infrastructures and complex engineering systems in a range of sectors.

The University is a proud bilingual institution, our Welsh Language Strategy ou...
