The post-quantum cryptography research group at Monash University, Australia, has a fully funded postdoc opening for a research project funded by Australian Research Council - Discovery Projects 2025, including in particular the following areas:

• Developing tools and techniques for FHE-based private cloud computation applications.
• Theory and applications of zk-SNARKs in FHE-based cloud computation.
• Secure and Efficient Implementations of zk-SNARK and FHE schemes and their applications.

The candidate will have the opportunity to work in an excellent research environment and collaborate with experts in cryptography and with CryptoLab industry partners, as well as contributing to supervision and training of PhD students.

Monash University is among the leading universities in Australia and is located in Melbourne, ranked as Australia's most liveable city and among the most liveable cities in the world.

Applicants should have (or be expected to complete in the next 6 months) a PhD in mathematics, theoretical computer science, cryptography, engineering or closely related areas. Research experience in at least one of lattice-based cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, or FHE is required.

The candidate should have excellent English verbal and written communication skills. Programming experience and skills, especially in Sagemath, Python, Magma, and/or C/C++, are also highly desirable.
