International Association
for Cryptologic Research

Aarhus University - an international top-100 University - has made an ambitious strategic investment in recruitment to expand the Department of Computer Science. We expect to hire four candidates in 2025. Therefore, the department invites applications from candidates in computer science that are driven by excellence in research and teaching as well as external collaboration on societal challenges. The successful candidates will have the opportunity to contribute to and shape the research and teaching as well as the industrial and societal collaboration associated with the department expansion. The department has world-class research groups within "Algorithms, Data Structures and Foundations of Machine Learning", “Data-Intensive Systems", "Cryptography and Cyber Security", "Computational Complexity and Game Theory", "Logic and Semantics", "Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction", “Collaboration and Computer-Human Interaction", and "Programming Languages”. We encourage applicants to strengthen the above groups. Additionally, we wish to expand competencies within topics like Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence, NLP/Large Language Models, Quantum Computing, Quantum Cryptography, Economics and Computation, Tangible/Physical Computing, Systems and Networks, and Software Engineering. We are looking for both tenure-track Assistant professors and Associate professors, and we generally encourage candidates within all areas of Computer Science – not restricted to the above – to apply. As department we wish to build a computer science research and study environment with equality and diversity as a core value for recruitment as well as for daily study and work life. If you have visions for or experience with activities or initiatives to support such a core value in a computer science context, we encourage you to describe them in your application. The positions are open from June 2025.
