Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Job Posting Job Posting
The Department of Information Security and Communication Technology has a vacant tenure-track position as associate professor in cryptology within our Cryptology Discipline.

After six years of standardisation efforts to solicit, evaluate, and standardise one or more quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms, in the summer of 2022, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) from the USA has selected a portfolio of several algorithms. Those algorithms will be the new standards for Public-key Encryption and Key-establishment and for Digital Signatures.

We are now entering a phase where those post-quantum cryptographic standards must be efficiently implemented and deployed. The deployment phase faces challenges such as high-performance implementations, protocol updates with the post-quantum primitives, and levels of robustness and trustworthiness.

Duties of the position:

  • Teaching cryptology, information security and related subjects at undergraduate and graduate level
  • Developing and maintaining internationally recognized research activity within the area Deployment of Post-Quantum Cryptography
  • Take part in interdisciplinary research collaborations, both within NTNU and with other national and international partners
  • Securing research funding from national and international funding agencies
  • Contribute with developing an innovative course portfolio at the undergraduate and graduate level in cryptology
  • Educate and supervise students at BSc and MSc level, and supervising PhD and postdoctoral fellowships
  • Disseminate relevant research to a wider audience (public outreach)
  • Participate in the management of research, education and other relevant academic activities in agreement with the department
