International Association
for Cryptologic Research

I am searching for outstanding Ph.D. candidates to start in the early months of 2023. The positions will be part of the Coding and Cryptography group at TU/e.

Possible topics fall into the field of provable security with a focus on the construction of efficient cryptographic building blocks and protocols, including

• (post-quantum) secure key exchange and messaging protocols and
  
• (post-quantum) secure digital signatures and public key encryption in realistic security models
  
• impossibility results/lower bounds for provably secure constructions.

The fully-funded positions offer exciting research in a highly international research environment. Candidates from outside of the Netherlands can be eligible for an additional tax reduction scheme.

Requirements:

• a Master's degree (or equivalent) with excellent grades in computer science, mathematics, or IT security.
  
• strong mathematical and/or algorithmic/theoretical CS background.
  
• good knowledge of cryptography and provable security.
  
• good written and verbal communication skills in English (Dutch is not required).

TU/e embraces diversity and inclusion. Therefore, people from all backgrounds are invited to apply, without regard to sex, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, age, socioeconomic status, identity, visible or invisible disability, religion, or sexual orientation.

To apply, prepare a single PDF file that includes a CV with a course list and grades. The application deadline is December 15th, 2022.

Applications and questions can be directed to s.schage@tue.nl.
