International Association
for Cryptologic Research

AIT is Austrias largest non-universitary research institute. Its Cyber Security team focuses on various aspects of security, including anomaly detection, cyber ranges, penetration testing, and cryptography. The cryptography group is conducting research in various directions, including secure communication, privacy-enhancing technologies, and long-term and post-quantum security. Given a growing portfolio of research projects, the group seeks to grow and thus has a vacancy for a post-doctoral researcher in related areas.

Requirements:

• PhD degree in Computer Science, Cyber Security, or a related field, with a specialization on cryptology
• Profound knowledge in one or more of the following areas: secure multi-party computation (MPC), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), threshold cryptography, distributed algorithms, privacy-preserving machine learning, verifiable computation
• Strong track record with publications at competitive academic conferences or journals (e.g., Crypto, Eurocrypt, Asiacrypt, TCC, PKC, CCS, S&P, USENIX, ESORICS, ...)
• Good knowledge of a programming language (e.g., C/C++, Rust, Java, Python) and software development is a plus
• Very good written and oral English skills; knowledge of German is not a requirement but willingness to learn German is expected

The position lasts for two years. The salary starts from ~59k€/year, depending on experience. The review process will begin immediately and will continue open until the position has been filled.
