The Department of Computer Science is looking to employ a Postdoctoral Researcher to work within an interdisciplinary team on securing convergent ultra-large scale infrastructures (SCULI). The SCULI project is a research collaboration between University of Oxford, University of Bristol and the University of Lancaster that will be working closely with stakeholders and organisations from industry and the critical national infrastructure sectors.

The project is investigating how to secure emerging ultra-large scale digital infrastructures which are seeing convergence and connectivity at unprecedented scale. This is true for both current critical national infrastructures and emerging future systems, e.g., smart cities, intelligent transportation, high-value manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Cybersecurity of such ultra-large scale infrastructures faces unprecedented complexity. Diverse legacy and non-legacy software and hardware compose on-the-fly to deliver services to millions of users with varying requirements and unpredictable actions. This complexity is compounded by intricate supply-chains and the need to deliver resilient operations in the presence of untrusted, partially trusted or compromised elements.

The successful candidate will be required to work primarily under the direction of Professor Ivan Flechais, with guidance from other senior academics and will be based in the Oxford team focused on the following research objectives:

• Predictability at ultra-large scale: How to elicit, specify and validate security assurances for service composition in the presence of uncertainty, dynamism and human behaviour (including addressing direct and indirect dependencies and resulting systemic risks)?

It is essential that successful candidate would hold a relevant PhD/DPhil or being close to completion in computer science or information systems.
In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with researchers working across the SCULI project, and cybersecurity professionals from business and industry.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 2nd December 2024. Interviews are expected to be held in December.

Proud member of the Disability Confident employer scheme

A Vacancy at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.


The Specialist Disability Service (SDS) is recruiting an Occupational Therapist to join our small friendly team. Working in the Environmental Controls (EC) service, you will assess our clients for specialist hi-tech disability equipment to help control computers and home appliances. This role focuses on independence, and gives an opportunity to be client-centred, and achieve positive outcomes for people. It would suit OTs with a keen interest in technology, who are either recently qualified, or looking for a new challenge.



The post holder will :
• Hold an independent caseload, and assess clients for the most appropriate equipment to help them access their home appliances and computer equipment
• Assist senior members of the team with complex assessments where access method or technical setup is more involved
• Conduct annual reviews to ensure safe and optimal use of the equipment provided to patients, from both a clinical and technical point of view

As required, the post holder will assist with:
• Setting up, installing and withdrawing equipment, ensuring each setup is tailored to individual patient needs
• Providing first line technical support and troubleshooting for patients

Work may be carried out by phone, video, or face-to-face with clients. This will involve travelling to see patients in their own environment (home, care home or hospital), primarily in the Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes areas. You do not need your own car, but you must be able to drive the service's pool cars.

Applicants should be registered Occupational Therapists and should have an interest in technology, but training in the specific equipment we use will be provided.

The post holder will work primarily in the Environmental Control (EC) service of the Specialist Disability Service (SDS), but will also support other areas of SDS as required.

TheSpecialist Disability Service (SDS)is a multidisciplinary service which assesses for and provides equipment to improve the level of autonomy and/or reduce the stress on carers of people with highly complex disabilities. It covers fields such as 24 hour postural management and Electronic Assistive Technology. The Environmental Control (EC) Service within SDS sees people who have difficulty operating their household appliances and/or accessing their computer.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trustis one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research. Find out more here www.ouh.nhs.uk

We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family. Watch how we set out to deliver compassionate excellence via the OUH YouTube channel.
Main Tasks and Responsibilities
Clinical
• Hold an independent caseload of clients within the Environmental Control (EC) service of SDS
• Prioritise caseload independently, and arrange appointments according to departmental policies
• Assess clients via a series of video and/or face-to-face appointments as required
• Take client history. This will require sensitivity, as our clients have complex disabilities. In many cases, this will include difficulties with communication, which could become a barrier to understanding. Information received may sometimes be distressing, as many of our clients are terminally ill
• Analyse client’s requirements. Use technical knowledge of the product ranges to compare the potential solutions, and identify the most suitable equipment to match the client’s needs
• Set up and assess with most suitable equipment, arranging trials where appropriate
• Where applicable, identify the most suitable equipment for the client (in some cases it may not be possible to provide equipment, which may be unwelcome news)
• Prescribe equipment required, in sufficient technical detail to ensure correct provision by 3rdparty Environmental Control companies
• Provide instruction and training to ensure complex equipment is used safely. This may be to client, client’s family, and/or client’s carers and other associated health and social care professionals
• Conduct reviews of clients to evaluate trials, or ensure that equipment is safe and being used optimally from both a clinical and technical point of view
• Concentrate for long periods, as both assessments, and drives to and from client can last several hours
• Work in varied locations across our region to visit clients. This can involve carrying heavy equipment, working in restricted positions, and being exposed to dust, dirt, or infections materials
• Write records on the hospital electronic record system to record the care given. This information is for the client, GP, referrer, as well as the wider team for future review
• Maintain own stock of assessment equipment. Order replacements as required. Follow team guidance for provision of equipment, to ensure team stays within budget
