    Phd researcher job at University of Delaware

    CONTEXT OF THE JOB: The Delaware Center for Cognitive Aging Research (DECCAR) seeks a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to its studies of brain health, brain aging, and risk and protective factors for Alzheimer's disease and related conditions. In particular, the postdoctoral researcher will primarily work with Dr. Matthew Cohen and contribute to the Delaware Longitudinal Study for Alzheimer's Prevention (DeLSAP), a longitudinal study examining the bio-psycho-social risk and protective factors for cognitive decline and dementia in adults aged 45 and older. The postdoctoral researcher will also contribute to the Brain Wellness Information, Support, and Empowerment (Brain-WISE) study, an ongoing clinical trial examining a dementia risk reduction intervention for middle-aged and older adults. The postdoctoral researcher will have time (~20%) and mentorship to pursue independent research, which could stem from or intersect with the DeLSAP or Brain-WISE. This is a 1-year position with the possibility of extension. Application materials include a cover letter detailing research interests and career goals, CV, and names and contact information of 3 references. Correspondence regarding the position can be directed to Dr. Matthew Cohen (****************).

    Johns Hopkins University 4.4company rating

    Gaithersburg, MD jobs

    PREP Research Associate This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration. Research Title: Evaluating and Advancing Measurement of Real-Time Deepfake Detection and Digital Injection Prevention for Digital Identity Services The work will entail: The increased availability of generative AI technology has given rise to fear of these tools being used to disrupt any number of cybersecurity safeguards implemented by US Government and commercial systems. Most notably, identity systems used to enable remote proof of identity and online access have found themselves in the crosshairs of attackers [1,2,3]. Many of these use real-time deepfake technology to defeat biometrics and human-supported identity verification systems. They use technical measures to insert (known as injection) modified or forged media (images or videos) into communication channels to defeat matching algorithms, presentation attack detection, or human reviewers. Protections against these attacks focus on two areas: defending against the injection and detecting the deepfakes. The project will focus on providing controls for the first and measurement for tools used in detection. No organization should rely on just one of these methods as it should be assumed that attackers will be able to achieve an injection. This makes accurate detection imperative, while at the same time, all efforts need to be made to deter injections since detection algorithms are nascent and will likely miss well-crafted deepfakes. Some products currently support detection capabilities, yet there are no well-established metrics, tests, or standards to measure the effectiveness of these technologies in combating real-world threats. This project will address this gap by evaluating risks posed by emerging injection techniques and real-time deepfakes and establishing a framework for measuring the efficacy of available controls. It will give NIST the foundation for a measurement-based approach to support federal government guidelines and future technology assessments. Ideally this research will set the framework for an ongoing technical evaluation capability like those established by the Face Recognition Technology Evaluation and Face Analysis Technology Evaluation programs. Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to: § Generating deepfake artifacts, § proposing a scientific framework for evaluation of different detection and prevention tools § recommending performance metrics for detection systems § Presenting results at internal meetings, and occasional meetings with external stakeholders. § Ensuring that results, protocols, software, and documentation have been archived or otherwise transmitted to the larger organization § assisting in the development of research papers or guidelines § A Doctorate or in a Doctoral program with a focus on Computer Science, Engineering, or Cybersecurity § 5-8 years of relevant experience. § Expertise in biometric systems and biometric system threats § Ability to work with leading software and hardware to replicate deepfake threats and evaluate detection system performance § Familiarity with multiple scripting languages. § Ability to develop deepfake artifacts for testing. § Strong oral and written communication skills.

    PREP Research Associate CHIPS Funded Project This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, and thus requires that such institutions be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration. Research Title: Reliability Testing and Failure Analysis for Advanced Packaging of CHIPS The work will entail: The Infrastructure Materials Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks a researcher with knowledge of reliability testing and modeling for advanced semiconductor packaging and extensive expertise in one or more of the following technical areas: polymer degradation, thermal and mechanical analysis, failure analysis using microscopy, spectroscopy, or scattering based techniques, accelerated laboratory testing and thin film characterization. If selected, you will play a significant role in the projects related to reliability testing and modeling for advanced packaging in semiconductors. This includes working with NIST staff and external partners on planning and executing experimental research to evaluate changes in mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of polymeric materials used in advanced packaging in CHIPS after aging under environmental stresses. The results will be used to understand the failure mechanism, develop more accurate prediction models for long-term reliability of advanced packaging reliability and provide a scientific basis for test method development, material selection, and product quality assurance for the semiconductor industry. Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to: · Characterizing the degradation of materials and interfaces before, during, and after exposure to accelerated laboratory aging. · Developing thermal conductivity/thermal resistance and specific thermal analyzers for samples used in CHIPS advanced packaging. · Conducting in-situ mechanical property (elastic modulus, storage modulus, material creep, relaxation, adhesion) measurements at different temperatures · Developing test protocol for X-ray computed tomography for analysis of packaged samples before and after multi-stress testing · Developing microscopic and spectroscopic analytical methods for complex advanced packaging systems. · Developing robust datasets of materials and interface properties before and after aging for reliability models. · Disseminating research results through presentations at conferences, publication of journal papers, and technical reports. • U.S. Citizen • Ph.D. in Materials Science / Mechanical Engineering / Electrical Engineering /Physics/Chemical Engineering/Chemistry • Strong oral and written communication skills • Experience in: • X-ray scattering or computed tomography • Nano- and micro-scale materials characterization • Degradation or failure analysis of polymeric materials • Experience in advanced semiconductor packaging is preferred
