Eligibility criteria

We invite applications from individuals who hold at least a 2.1 honours undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Other qualifications in disciplines related to the research area will also be considered.

Non-native English speakers are required to hold a valid IELTS certificate demonstrating at least a score of 6.5 overall with a score of not less than 6 in all parts. Please note that in relevant cases, an offer will not be made until proof of an applicant’s English proficiency has been provided. If applicants have a degree from a university in an English-speaking country, they will be exempt from the English language requirement. Alternatives to providing evidence of English language proficiency: https://www.ucc.ie/en/study/comparison/english/postgraduate/

• Experience with industrial automation systems
• Understanding and appreciation of cybersecurity mechanisms
• Experience with communications systems
• Programming experience (Phyton, c/c++)

Please ensure that your application provides evidence of meeting the above listed criteria

Diversity

To help address gender under-representation in science, applications from female applicants are strongly encouraged, as are those from international students and other under-represented groups. This reflects each of the supervisory institutions commitment to providing a diverse and open environment for students and faculty.

ADVANCE CRT is dedicated to promoting the role of women in science, and, therefore, explicitly invites women to apply.
