We have an open call for a postdoc position in Cryptography. We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in provable security, with good experience in the design (and proof) of cryptographic protocols (e.g., multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, consensus protocols.) For more detail, we refer to the link below. Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or nearing completion) in cryptography or related fields. Evidence of strong research experience as demonstrated through publications at top-tier conferences or high-impact journals is essential. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with strong initiative and commitment to excellence, and an ability to conduct world-class research.

Knowledge, skills and experience:
  • Ph.D. (or near completion) in cryptography or related fields
  • Track record of strong publications
  • Strong experience in provable security, and in the design of cryptographic protocols
The following criteria are not yes/no factors, but questions of degree. Recruitment will aim at selecting those candidates with the best possible performance in all these criteria.
  • Strong experience in research in one or more of the following areas: secure multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, blockchain, functional encryption, fully-homomorphic encryption, and distributed algorithms.
  • Experience in implementing cryptographic algorithms, and writing software for security-related applications
  • Ability to communicate complex information clearly, orally, and in writing.

Please apply by July 17th, 2023 using the following link https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1001/job/7729.
