International Association
for Cryptologic Research

We are hiring postdoctoral researchers working on the foundations of computing. We welcome applicants working in all areas of theoretical computer science, broadly interpreted, including e.g. algorithmics and algorithm engineering, computability and computational complexity, computational logic, optimization, cryptography, computational geometry, natural computation, and foundations of distributed, parallel, and quantum computing.

We offer the possibility to participate and take initiative in leading-edge research in a young and growing research environment with 10 professors and their teams working on foundational topics in the Helsinki area at Aalto University and the University of Helsinki (*). The postdoctoral researcher positions are full-time research positions for a duration of one year, with the possibility of extension to a second year by mutual consent. Travel funding is available for travel permitted by the pandemic situation. Participation in teaching of advanced courses and thesis instruction is possible and encouraged, with 5-10% allocation of the total working time.
