TU Darmstadt, Germany
Job PostingThe Cryptography and Privacy Engineering Group (ENCRYPTO) @Department of Computer Science @Technical University of Darmstadt offers a full position for a Doctoral Researcher (Research Assistant/PhD Student) in Cryptography & Privacy Engineering, available immediately and for up to 3 years with the possibility of extension.
Our mission is to demonstrate that privacy can be efficiently protected in real-world applications via cryptographic protocols.TU Darmstadt is a top research university for IT security, cryptography and computer science in Europe. The position is based in the City of Science Darmstadt, which is very international, livable and well-connected in the Rhine-Main area around Frankfurt. Initially, no knowledge of German is necessary and TU Darmstadt offers corresponding support.
Job descriptionAs doctoral researcher @ENCRYPTO, you conduct research, build prototype implementations, and publish and present the results at top venues. You will also participate in teaching and supervise thesis students and student assistants. The position is co-funded by the ERC Starting Grant “Privacy-preserving Services on the Internet” (PSOTI), where we build privacy-preserving services on the Internet, which includes designing protocols for privately processing data among untrusted service providers using secure multi-party computation and implementing a scalable framework.
Your profile- Completed Master's degree (or equivalent) at a top university with excellent grades in IT security, computer science, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, or a similar area.
- Extensive knowledge in applied cryptography/IT security and excellent software development skills.
- Additional knowledge in cryptographic protocols (ideally secure computation) is a plus.
- You are self-motivated, reliable, creative, can work independently, and want to do excellent research on challenging scientific problems with practical relevance.
- The working language at ENCRYPTO is English, so you must be able to discuss/write/present scientific results in English, whereas German is not required.
