International Association
for Cryptologic Research

Position Summary: We are expanding the team by recruiting talented, highly motivated senior researchers in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and standardization. Candidates should have solid knowledge in cryptographic algorithms and security protocols, particular in PQC, a passion in researching problems with real-world potential and impact, and rich experience of standardizing cryptographic algorithms and/or security protocols in international bodies (IETF, ISO, IEEE etc). Successful candidates will join a team of cryptographic experts to conduct world-class research in applied cryptography. Duties & Responsibilities: • Formulate research problems based on real-world security requirements and independently conduct high-quality research. • Standardize cryptographic algorithms and security protocols at international bodies. • Work on intellectual property. • Develop collaborations with industry peers and academia. Desired Skills & Experience: • Hold M.Sc or Ph.D. degree in Mathematics, Cryptography, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or similar fields. • Have 5 or more years of work experience in areas related to information security and/or applied cryptography. • Rich standardization experience in international bodies, like IETF, ISO, IEEE, ETSI. • Solid skills in at least one programming language, like C, C++, Java, Python, or shell scripts. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. • Self-motivated with strong sense of responsibility. • Strong interpersonal and problem solving skills. • Solid knowledge in PQC and security protocols.
