Job Posting Job Posting
As the pioneer center in Asia focusing on the quantum transition, the Quantum-Safe Migration Center (QSMC) was initiated by Chelpis Quantum Tech in 2023. Through collaborations with Taiwan's academic institutions, industry professionals, and semiconductor manufacturers, we're committed to providing swift and efficient solutions for transitioning to the quantum era and minimizing the potential threats quantum computing may pose to information systems.
Chelpis Quantum Tech was established in 2017, drawing its team from the Fast Cryptography Laboratory at National Taiwan University. Our primary focus has been research and development of post-quantum cryptographic systems and the creation of related cryptographic applications.

QSMC is looking for an applied post-quantum cryptography researcher to join our research team in Taipei, Taiwan.
We currently have three research focus areas and candidates should be experienced in at least one:
  • PQC Hardware
  • Formally-verified PQC Software
  • New PQC primitives (in particular, candidates of the recent NIST PQC digital signature competition)
Candidates should hold a PhD in cryptography or a closely related field and have a track record in applied post-quantum cryptography with publications at top cryptography or security conferences. Responsibilities:
  • Work on research projects and publish at top-tier cryptography and security conferences
  • Collaborate with researchers in Taiwan and internationally
  • Present research on international workshops and conferences
  • Contribute to standardization efforts such as NIST PQC
  • Consult Chelpis' other teams in all aspects of post-quantum cryptography
If you are interested, please send your CV to Ming Chih (my.chih@chelpis.com) and Matthias Kannwischer (matthias@chelpis.com) to schedule an informal discussion.
