We are offering two postdoc positions in the area of cryptography in the Cryptography and Data Security Group at the Department of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics at University of Warsaw. The position is supported by a grant \"Cryptographic Defence Against Malicious Hardware Manufacturers\".

The goal of this project is to design methods for preventing attacks by malicious hardware manufacturers. Such attacks are possible because manufacturing of integrated circuits is frequently outsourced to external companies. Due to the complexity of these devices it is practically impossible to inspect them in order to check that they were manufactured correctly. Hence, a malicious manufacturer can alter the device\'s design, by introducing the so-called \"hardware Trojan horses\". Such devices can later cause significant damage to their users by malfunctioning, or leaking users\' secrets to the adversary. This is very worrying, especially given a tremendous dependence of modern society on the electronic devices. Another threat associated with the third-party manufacturing is the intellectual property theft and piracy, as the manufacturer gets full access to the device\'s specification. In this project we address these problems by applying state-of-the-art cryptographic techniques.

Profile:

All candidates with a PhD degree and a publication record in cryptography or data security are encouraged to apply and will be carefully considered.

We offer excellent networking and training opportunities, including participation in international workshops and conferences.

The salary will depend on qualifications and will be in the range of approximately PLN 7000 - 8,500 (net/month).

Successful candidates can start from January 2017. Funding is available for 3 years.

There is no official deadline for this call. We will start looking at the applications from Dec 15, 2016.

The side channel lab, which is part of the Bristol crypto group, is expanding. With several new grants coming through we are looking to substantially increase our team. We are looking for a variety of people on different levels of experience and interest. In particular we are looking for people who have (or would like to develop) expertise in

- practical attacks (i.e. the hands on aspects of physical attacks),

- developing efficient attacks (based on parallel implementations building on our existing HPC framework)

- utilising compilers to detect and mitigate side channel leaks (timing, cache, as well as physical leaks)

- working with open source processors and hardware implementations

- statistical aspects of side channel analysis

The lab has state-of-the-art equipment, access to a high performance computing platform, and is integrated in the vibrant Crypto group. You are encouraged to engage with the wider group (and indeed Computer Science department) and, assuming sufficient seniority, take responsibility for your research direction. There are opportunities to contribute to teaching and to network in the context of the project with industrial partners and so to move more towards industry.

There are multiple positions available and we will recruit until all positions are filled. Posts are on either the Research associate level (typically this is for people who are close to finishing their PhD), or, on Senior Research Associate level. The salary for Research associates is between £31656-35609 (Grade I), and for Senior Research Associates it is between £35609-40082 (Grade J). PhD students will benefit from an enhanced stipend (fees will be covered, and the stipend is just under 20000 on which no tax is payable). All grants have ample resources for trips, professional training, and internships.

We consider all applicants that have a background in either computer science, electrical engineering, or mathematics (or any combination thereof). We do not require you to have prior experience in side channel attacks, but expect you are keen to learn and explore.
